Skin and your ethnic background
Today we are looking at Skin and your ethnic background
Skin and your ethnic background are responsible for the condition of your skin
Skin and your ethnic background - most people know that there are many factors that can affect your skin: the weather, your menstrual cycle, your cleansing routine, the Pill, and your diet. But there’s one factor you don’t hear much about and that is your ethnic background. After research dermatologists have spoken about the role that ethnicity plays in the overall condition of your skin.
Fair skin tones
People with fair skin can have extremely dry to very greasy skin and are most likely to be susceptible to irritation, sensitivity, and damage caused by UV exposure. The good news is that the lack of pigmentation means you have the best chance of having an even skin complexion. When your coloration is slightly uneven whether this is from sun exposure, a breakout or scarring, getting back to normal usually doesn’t take the amount of time and effort often required of people with deeper skin tones.
Medium skin tones
Medium skin tones are more melanin-rich skins which give you some natural UV protection although not enough that you can ditch the SPF, but premature aging shouldn’t be a huge concern. Also, your skin tends to be relatively thick, which often means fewer lines and wrinkles. But because it can also contain more oil glands, your skin may have enlarged pores and be prone to breakouts.
Dark skin tones
The good news is that your skin is the best-protected against UV damage, not so much so that you can forget sunscreen (ever, as you will still burn) but enough that you’re likely to look a few years younger than your lighter-skinned friends. Your pigmentation also provides camouflage against redness and even cellulite. On the other hand, hyperpigmentation can be a big issue as well as keloid scarring.
So there you go, now you know the bigger picture of Skin and your ethnic background.
