How do white women feel about getting wrinkles in their 20’s?
When Japanese women have flawless skin up until their 40s?
Sun damage is responsible for over 80% of the aging process. UV rays break down collagen and elastin fibres in the dermis of the skin resulting in fine lines, wrinkles, saggy skin, uneven skintone, red veins, rosacea, age spots, moles, dull skin, rough texture and so on. Whites have very little of the natural sunscreen Melanin. Melanin is the most effective sun protection molecule known to man, it absorbs UV light in the epidermis and disperses it before it can reach and damage collagen in the dermis, it is far more effective than any man made sunscreen like helioplex or zinc oxide.
Melanin content of skin
Albino = zero
Whites = very little
Asians, latinas, arabs, east indians, biracial = high
African, african american = very high

To Jakob the second idiot poster, Black people who are in their 40’s rarely get wrinkles because we have more pigment in our skin, so that’s an ignorant thing to say.
White people have less pigment which is why they can wrinkle so easily if they don’t take care of their skin, which is what I try to tell my best friend who is white and who tans like crazy and smokes. She is going to look F’d up in her later years.

My mom is in her 50’s and has very few wrinkles. Just because you’re born with very little melanin doesn’t mean that you cant use sunscreen… It all has to do with how well you take care of your skin.

If blacks made it past 30 without getting shot they would have 10x the amount of wrinkles.

Look at my picture. I’m 33. Do I look wrinkled to you?
As for sun exposure– Everything in moderation. A certain amount is healthy. We’re not nocturnal, you know.
I highly recommend sunbathing. It’s sort of like exercise in that our bodies produce endorphins when we do either of the two (sunbathe or exercise). Endorphins are chemically related to the drug morphine, so they make people feel grrrrrrreat. They block pain, decrease appetite, and decrease anxiety. Endorphins induce feelings of euphoria, feelings that people want to continue to experience. This results in more and more sunbathing and more and more exercise. However, sunbathing and exercise also increase as a result of people becoming more receptive to the endorphins that their bodies produce…. People continue to increase the duration of sunbathing and exercise as they become more addicted. One might think this to be a bad thing, but it isn’t necessarily. Higher pain tolerance and the increased energy granted by the endorphins allows for more intense and frequent work-outs. And I don’t think I need to explain the benefits of exercise.
Sunbathing can also be extremely beneficial in other ways: Melanin provides natural protection against the harmful effects of the sun’s ultraviolet rays, and we get more of both when we achieve a tan from sunbathing. Tanning is caused by the production of melanin and by pigments enlarging in response to the ultraviolet radiation. (UVB rays stimulate melanin production in the body, and UVA rays oxidize that melanin.) More melanin equals more protection (helping to prevent sunburn damage among other things). And more protection equals the ability to spend more time in the sun and reap the following benefits:
—The production of more of those aforementioned endorphins and all of the accompanying physical and mental benefits (And they are MANY.),
—The production of vitamin D, which promotes the absorption of calcium into each cell of the body (Studies show that both may play a role in the prevention of cancer and disease. And surely I don’t have to explain the benefits of calcium absorption?),
—Due to the production of vitamin D, there is a decreased chance of having a vitamin D deficiency (which is very common in northern European countries where there is far less exposure to the sun),
—Kills many pathogens inside the body, lowers cholesterol, and lowers blood pressure,
—Results in a better quality of sleep and daytime alertness. (Increased sunlight exposure equals circadian rhythms being more in-sync with the environment.),
—Alleviates the appearance and discomfort of psoriasis,
—And new evidence suggests that it may combat fungal infections.

Maybe people in general would feel better about aging if the U.S. wasn’t so stuck on youth.

It must be terrible for them. جزيرة is lying, Ive seen her she looks like shes 40 especially with her thick ol eyebrows.

Well I am considered white, though my ethnicity is Mediterranean and Mediterraneans are known for the high level of oil in their skin, which means that we don’t get lines or age until we are quite old. So it doesn’t worry me.

Sadly white girls are damaging their skin to conform to current beauty standards just as blacks are damaging their hair.
But to simply say “whites how do you feel” like this applies to everyone is beyond moronic. I myself avoid the sun like a vampire and am fair and flawless when it comes to my complexion.
