There's no crystal ball if you're multiracial, but it's not impossible to predict your future. Most mixed-race women's skin tone falls somewhere between their parents', so the way their skin ages will also likely fall somewhere in the middle.
That means, for example, that if you're half black and half white, you probably won't see wrinkles in your early 30s unless you're very, very fair. Aging clearly differs from person to person—and from heritage to heritage—but these are the top issues for mulitracial women:. It's about as fun as it sounds: By the mids, the tear-trough area under the eye starts to sag, making the cheekbones and middle of the face look flat, rather than plump and youthful.
All right, out with it: "The fairer your skin, the more signs of aging you're going to have," says Doris Day, a clinical assistant professor of dermatology at New York University Medical Center. The sun—and pale skin's minuscule protection against it—is primarily to blame. UV rays break down collagen, causing wrinkles that can start appearing in your 20s.
Your skin tries to fight back, making pigment to protect itself, and along come the dark spots. But there is a bright side: "Caucasians can generally be more aggressive with treatments since they don't have to worry as much about postinflammatory hyperpigmentation [discoloration that can pop up after inflammation and take weeks to months to clear]," says Day.
In fact, fair skin is naturally equipped with the equivalent of a mere SPF 3. Light skin may get stuck with wrinkles and spots, but there's one way to attack them all at once: "Retinoids increase make it smoother, and promote normal maturation of cells, which can help prevent skin cancers," says Day. Besides the whole lung-cancer thing, "cigarettes are toxic to the skin, depriving it of oxygen and increasing the risk for skin cancer," says Day.
While good behavior staying out of the sun , foregoing smoking an effective skin-care routine cleansing and moisturizing , and doctor procedures all have something to do with it, plain science and genetics also have a hand in how your skin ages. To learn why some people appear to age at a different rate than others, the Cut talked to plastic surgeon Dr. Dara Liotta about how your genes and ethnic makeup affect the way you age. Most of us hear the word aging and think one thing: wrinkles.
Or at most, two things: wrinkles and sagging skin. But according to dermatologists, the majority of people experience a combination of wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, loss of elasticity, and loss of volume meaning the opposite of flatness , as they age. How fun. On top of that, the texture and color of your skin affect the likelihood of it exhibiting these characteristics.
With the march of time, elastin and collagen become looser collagen even eventually stops being produced over time. Fat cells also start to shrink. Traditionally, Dr.
