I love you're videos, but could you please stop calling white people Caucasian because true Caucasians are actually middle esteran. Yes, there are some some white people that are Caucasian, but most aren't for they're just plain European and if they are Caucasian there's a high chance it was due to rape & colonization. So please don't call white people Caucasian it's quite hurtful to those who had to run from their country due to Europeans "conquering" they're people and to those who lost their culture to those same European. Thank you so much for hearing me out! :)
Maryam Gill You are wrong. Johann Friedrich Blumenbach, who in 1795 divided the human species into five races: Caucasian, the “white” race; Mongolian, the “yellow” race; Malayan, the “brown” race; Ethiopian, the “black” race; and American, the “red” race. He considered the Caucasians to be the first race on Earth, consistent with the common conception at that time of the Caucasus as a place of human origin.
That's why they say, in your 20s you have the face you're born with, in your 40s you have the face you deserve, and in your 60s you have the face you can afford!
@@pokemontas8025 There is no medical evidence that sunscreen causes cancer. There is a lot of medical evidence that UV rays from the sun and tanning beds do. If you worry that the chemicals used in sunscreens are absorbed by the skin and cause cancer, I recommend using a sunblock. Better safe than sorry ;)
Idea for the next Defining Beauty video: body hair. Per example, men having hairy chest was considered extremely attractive during the 70s-80s, and in some places with predominant “surfer” or “beach life” culture, having blonde hair or low-contrasted hair in relation to your skin in your arms or legs (independently if you’re a man or a woman) is considered attractive as well.
I love sunscreen. Call me sunscreen queen. Even though I’m ethnically brown I don’t take chances. Brown skin + sun protection = fountain of immortality
I really hate how a lot of people are more focused on looks than health about skin. Healthy skin absolutely contributes to healthier aging, because it is the biggest organ of the human body and is the first line of defence against a lot of issues. Thank you for focusing on the health aspect.
@@Call-me-Al Like what? Do share if you have time, I'm interested...For me to this day it has been the most important part, that and managing stress levels :)
@@benebeck5628 That's quite true, though some polls will show different answers. It's sad that red hair is considered the least attractive, which might be due to religion and historical associations. I think red hair is beautiful.
Things like exfoliating skin, being well hydrated, diet, drugs&alcohal use, sleep, skin moisturizers and stress also all matter when it comes to your skin health and aging.
Genetics are less important than the things you can control. Eat healthy (anti inflammatory), avoid sugar, use sunscreen, avoid the midday sun, avoid stress, have a good skincare routine.
theres no evidence for collagen supplements. theyre stupid and overpriced. eat foods rich with amino acids and it will do what collagen supplements claim to do (if not better)
@@bean2275 Only hydrolyzed collagen is proven. Research: Not all of these collagen supplements are necessarily effective; however, collagen supplements that contain hydrolyzed collagen from marine sources have been proven to play a protective role in skin aging. You need up to 18 different amino acids in the right quantities and ratio to create a collagen molecule. Collagen builders made with different amino acids typically only contain glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, but not in their complete ratios and concentrations. They also lack other minor but important amino acids necessary to construct a complete collagen molecule helix chain. Hence, in comparison, Hydrolyzed Collagen is more effective because it is already a complete molecule chain and smaller size, contains the complete amino acid sequence and can be absorbed and transported to the dermis of the skin.
Black people do “age up,” but only til we hit like 35-40 and then we just look the same til we’re 90 🤷🏽♀️ I don’t make the rules, it’s just what it is
@South Side What you going to do, catch them lacking from behind your keyboard , catch those bih ah half decent lookin white people being jealous . Fuck your stupid slang
Troublesome A my mom is part black and she’s 45+ and the only wrinkles she has are really thin fine crow feet. i’ve had people think she was my sister before.
It is a real problem how we normalize tanning and fetishize darker skin on naturally (very white) caucasian people. I am white, and have freckles. Since I was very young my family and I always went to the south of France. When I was younger I became very tanned very quickly. I am sometimes shocked of pictures from when I was like 8 because I was soooo tan. Later in life, so in my late teens and early 20's I didn't tan as easily anymore (which also is because as a kid I played in the sun constantly, but as an adult I prefer to stay in the shade). My mom and dad barely wear sunscreen so they tan like crazy, as do many friends and acquaintances we got to know going to the same place each year. You don't want to know how much people pressure you to tan and how much people ridicule you for wearing sunscreen and being (naturally) white. People say "you look like a milk bottle" and "have you even been in the sun" that's hard to take from people who don't wear sunscreen, but put tanning oil on their skin instead. Mind you these people have the philosophy "what is red, will eventually turn brown". And let me tell you, they are as red as lobsters at times but still made fun of me and my sister for being white. I don't like to admit it, but those critiques caused me to tan more and boy did I become more tan... something I wish I didn't do, because my skin's health should be more important than other people's critiques. So whilst your trying to do the good thing by protecting your skin, people who do the "wrong" thing a.k.a tan without sunscreen or with tanning oil get praised for looking beautiful and tan. It's kind of twisted.
I can relate to some of that. I'm from Southern Spain and I am super super pale, as well as all my family. In my case my parents were very aware of the sun damage, but the society "told us" that we were too pale. So my sister (which btw is a blonde blue eyed and even paler the me) and me used to spend too much time under the sun, sometimes without suncream or with tanning oil instead. I could get a little bit of tan (which is still considered so white anyway) but my sister always got super red or just got some freckles. We were only 8 to 16 years old when we were obssesed every summer about getting a tan. Fortunately, I'm already over all of that and I have accepted that my skin just can't get tanned 😅 But the damage of many sunburns when I was a kid/teen is already done 🙃
I have a similar experience. I am from southern Italy and Ia’m not too pale so I tan easily, but now I try to avoid it, while when I was a teen I did stupid things like staying hours under the sun to get the desirable tan. But now I get comments saying that I’m “too pale” (even though I’m never really pale) during summer and that I should get a tan. Also a lot of people in Italy still don’t wear sunscreen thinking is useless, but a lot use tanning beds.
@Danny Wade those people are celebrities where looking attractive is literally their job. They get hundreds of procedures done. You cant compare avg people like us and those celebrities.
Nikki SoVain I don’t think she was speaking for all, she was just pointing out that what many dark people dislike because society, racism tells us, should actually be appreciated and loved.
Cool but if you did a dna test you might have more Korean or black in you depending on which dna gens you get from your parents. That’s why multiracial siblings won’t have the same amount of each race genes percentage
@@blackstar239 not true. You clearly have no idea about how melanin works. East Asians age better than South West Asians for a reason and S.W tend to be much darker than East Asians.
@@stargirl1589 diet, skin elasticity and lifestyle also. Which goes to show that just because someone skin is darker, it doesn't mean they will age better than someone with lighter (melanited) skin. The way we treat our bodies and our skin plays a huge factor in how we age. And I'm saying this as a black woman.
Exactly my question too. I know that black people are under represented in such studies, but no one seems to mention South Asian people, ie brown skinned people, at all.
East Asian, although South Asians more closely resemble Caucasians in most ways other than skin colour. Also, given that South Asia has quite literally every shade of skin colour living within it, I've only included the 3 largest racial groups and you'll have to make your own judgement as to what your tone is closest to.
Actually South Asians don’t develop Wrinkles until they reach their 50s. With better Health Habits and Good SkinCare they can minimize a lot of wrinkles. My Dark Skinned Grandmother and my Fair Skinned Mom are Good examples for Aging well.
Brown Asian here (Polynesian mix). i am 38 but easily pass for mid 20s. sunscreen really works, as well as, melanin! also it is important to take care of your cellular turnover. i would say it is 60% genetics, 40% hard work.
Interesting video. I'm mixed black with Asian, and even whenever I tell people I'm 45 years old, they react with shock and surprise. I've been told I look nothing over 35. I have no wrinkles and my skin is very smooth, elastic and taut. My grandmother, even shortly before she died at the age of 83, also had smooth, elastic and taut skin with no wrinkles. I've observed however that my white friends have a different set of skin-challenges. Those in their 30's have wrinkles and those in their 40's already have sagging skin. The video's very correct though about discoloration in people with dark-skin. I've unfortunately been affected by this, especially areas around the neck and on my back. A lot of my black friends also have similar problems with skin-discoloration. This just goes to prove, you can never have it all...
@Bastian 96 if you are born with that skintone it isn't "naturally tan" it's just your skin color.... A tan is specifically the shade you get when you go out in the sun. That's like saying anyone who is born with brown skin is tan, that's not how that works
I am white and relatively pale normally, but in the summer I get pretty dark. It is not my goal, just a byproduct of living by the beach in a country that has a really long summer. A tan here has positive connotations of being outside all summer, having fun, being on vacation. It's not just about being darker, but also all these positive things that are connected to a tan (along with being able to wear some colours that don't go well with your normal skin tone, which some people really like ). That is why people usually tan in the summer, at least where I am from
Akilah Creamy she were wearing sunscreen constantly or it is just fourtane genetic. I am also pale and do not wanna have wrinkles plus I am living in a place that sun is super effective on summers. I am wearing sunscreen genrally but it is so exhausted to wearing sunsreen everyday especially my eyes are so sensitive and they get watery everytime I wear sunscreen
suzi suzim and if you’re in europe buy shaka fluide invisible by la roche posay it’s eye safe. sunscreens used to always sting my eye and with the shaka fluid they don’t sting, they only water. if i’m using antihistamine they don’t water at all
Akilah Creamy does your mom live in a colder región? Im from a cold region and moved to a very hot one and there is a huge difference in the skin quality of the people in both regions. In the cold state even the palest women have much better skin, while down here most of the women look like beef jerky in a blonde wig if they don’t take care of their skin. I’m not dismissing what is probably really fantastic genetics in your family, just curious. Also a lot of European women have naturally beautiful skin
I'm black but on the lighter side. I developed freckles when i was 10 ( thought it was dirt on my face at first🤣 ). And I use to believe in the stupid myth of us not needing sunscreen. I got freaking torched one year while spending hours on the beach😭 Sunscreen is definitely essential no matter how much melanin we have👍🏼
You are on the "lighter side," meaning there is definitely admixture there.. if you were to do a DNA test. Keep in mind that those of us with dark skin, have the best UV protection because we have greater levels of melanin.
I used to hate my skin tone because it's relatively darker than average and duh, in SE Asia it's all about being fair and lovely. After I become and adult, I realise what I hated was the damaged skin and not the skin itself. I had never applied sunscreen before 22. It's better now and I don't have much to complain.
I just googled her 😳😳😳😳 SHE’S 41?!?! clearly there is witchcraft involved 😩 there’s melanin and then there’s literally the fountain of youth she’s installed in her kitchen sink smh
@Hello Again yeah but increased animalq farming means more nitrous oxides which thins the ozone layer even more. This is particularly bad for Australia. Even if a few more people wear sunscreen, the skin cancer rates in Australia won't decrease by a whole lot.
@Hello Again lol no. The ozone layer let's in uv rays and we know that affects lighter skin individuals. Also there isn't much progress on the ozone layer. You honestly sound like an insecure white person who can't handle facts
@Hello Again no they didn't have a life expectancy of 40. You aren't that bright it seems. It was about 70 but there was a lot of child mortality so averages to 40. Also, even with sunscreen, people aren't actually going to apply the right amount. When sunscreen was invented l, the stats made it seem like it increases cancer rates but this was only because it made thwn feel bulletproof. Evolution made European skin lighter so it could absorb more vitamin d in areas with less sunlight
@@mushy470 europeans diagnosed with melanoma skin cancer have a 97% survival rate of 5 years up to stage 3 and stage 4 is 20% while for black people its 77% for 5 years and 1% at stage 4 take that at face value. skin cancer is very treatable and at this point its removal is like a dentist appointment. including skin cancer resistant gene mutations among europeans to fight against skin cancer.
Ever thought about making a video about what actually changes as we age? You've covered in other videos the early stages of development but what about when we grow old? That would be a great video with your analysis in my opinion. Excellent job anyway, as usual, keep it up!
@@Call-me-Al just vitamin d pills, no other way, food give nearly to nothing and sunscreen just blocks all vitamin d, plus depending on pigmentstion and part of the world you live in .
@@cam9290 lol, no. Read some studies, you only get about 60% of UI meaning you need to buy 10000UI pills to get enough vitamin d. 10000 UI isnt expensive at all 15 euros for 1 year supplie but studies arent sure about the safety of it. Just get in the sun for 10 -20 mins daily and thats it, save money and you wont get any skin aging or illness.. Also the 6k UI needed for the bodie is given by studies on white people, so if you arent white you have no clue on how much UI you should take
Black people do “age up,” but only til we hit like 35-40 and then we just look the same til we’re 90 🤷🏽♀️ I don’t make the rules, it’s just what it is
The downside of dark skin is low absorbtion of vitamin D from the sun. So make sure to eat fish and eggs if that's your case - I'm surprised he didn't comment on it
@@1queijocas It's so interesting that you said "eat fish and eggs". I am Senegalese. We are extremely dark. We eat seafood all the time. Our national dish is a fish dish. Also, I eat eggs for breakfast almost every day. An egg sandwich is a standard breakfast in our culture. It makes me wonder if our ancestors used these daily practices because they somehow knew that it's beneficial to us or if we naturally love seafood because our bodies crave it for vitamin D.
East Asians have the right idea, they treat the sun like the death ray it is. You see so many parasols in Japan’s high summer you’d think it was raining ☂️
i knew an east asian with the milkiest milky white skin i've ever seen and she still covers up like there's no tomorrow... the sun is like a plague to her...
Monzo Lena there’s no scientific peer reviewed research that suggests that lack of sunlight caused vit d deficiency when you can easily consume a rda through foods alone. That is such a tired argument I’m not sure why people still believe it...
Ever since I was was little I didn't like looking tanned. So I rarely am out in the sun and when I am I usually have my sunscreen with me and wear something that protects my skin. And after having watched this video I feel even better about my choices in the last years haha
well in Iceland it would be an advantage to have less melanin because of vitamin D absorption, any person of darker skin would have to either actively seek out vitamin D sources or take supplements.
@S no you don't understand, the sun isn't being blocked by clouds. We are too far north to have the sun shine full on us during some times of the year, for three months its constantly 'night', the only light comes from the stars and the aurora we frequently get.
i would guess the high rate of skin cancer in australia is also partially caused by the fact that the majority of the population is of western european descent and is not adapted to the climate
i think mediterraneans must be somewhere similar to north africans in terms of melatonin because it’s similar sun exposure in those areas? I think it would be more similar to that than to other europeans that have a more pinkish time to their skin. So since there is so much sun exposure i’d say their melatonin protects them slightly more? I’m not sure though, just a guess
Bastian 96 Northern Europeans have an advantage where they live though. The long and dark winters with very mild summers compared to other places. The light skin helps take in more vitamins. It’s a very interesting topic
Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! Can't stress this enough. I look way younger than I am thanks to moisturizing before bed & b4 applying makeup for the day. Apply moisturizer anywhere u wouldn't want wrinkles. & u don't need fancy creams, when I was broke I'd use even the cheapest 99¢ vitamin E cream, even Vaseline, as long as u keep your face/neck & anywhere else moisturized. Unfortunately looks seems to be everything in this world, take care!
I'm a 21 year old Black woman and to others, I still look like a young teenager. I have light-medium brown skin (caramel complected) and hopefully, my melanin does me right in the long run! Although I do have dark spots and hyperpigmentation, along with eczema, I take care of my skin as best as possible!
Hello Again yeah? Whewwww someone’s BIG jealous 😂😭 What’s your waistline saying right now huh? Cuz mine is snatched. Weight gain isn’t even a black stereotype. Miss ME with the bullshit unless you’re ready to show yourself.
@Hello Again you dont know me as an individual so idk what the fuuuuck youre talking about. im thin so where are these weight comments coming from? please live your own life and stop drooling over mine.
when i was younger i was always amazed by how young my cousin looked ( his now around 50). literally every passing year he looked like he never age past 30, then i learned his melanin is the reason why looks great
I would be so interested in seeing you look at “pretty” versus “ugly” kpop idols! Like, why in BLACKPINK is Jennie considered one of the most beautiful girls, but Rosé is seen as a visual hole in the group? What aesthetically is so captivating about Taeyong from NCT/SuperM? Why is RM of BTS considered ugly? Why is it that a lot of people see Irene from Red Velvet as plain when they first see her, but then recognize her as one of the most beautiful girls they’ve seen?
@pink girl nah he just stated why and he is telling truth RM has all these flows but that doesn't make him unattractive just less appealing than other members
My grandparents were ageless. (Us being Asian). My grandfather who was 98 y/o looked as if he was 60. (He also had a stroke). My grandmother who is 85 looks 60 as well. They were also out in the sun a lot when they were back in the homeland. We must have good genetics 😂
Fun fact: People who are Caucasian evolved from black people as they traveled further into the colder/European regions. They where dying from lack of sun to there dark skin so over time (a long time) the human race that has only been black up to this point, started being born with a gene that made them white and more sufficient for the environment. They needed less melanin and had straight hair to warm them from the cold weather when prior most humans only had kinky hair to protect themselves from the sun. ♥️♥️♥️♥️ This really proves that the only race is the human race, the way we look should not be contradicted as it was beautifully crafted by nature to protect our species.
Hi! Can you talk about people's appeal because it seems that some people are deemed attractive depending on their facial and aura magnetism (regardless of their minimal flaws) than those people who have beautiful facial features?
The average vampire gets more sun than me....I run for the shade, wear sunscreen & sunglasses...the sun is not my friend...I take vitamin D3 supplements to make up the difference... fascinating vid as always 👍 🔆😨
I remember, correct me if I'm wrong, but you still need sun rays, specifically uvb rays NOT UVA rays only (uvb which are found in the afternoon) to Absorb the vitamin D. Depending on your skin tone 10 minutes - 30 minutes of sun exposure is needed.
@Ayaan S Thanks! I was just curious bc I'm Mexican and my mother and brother both have darker complexions. I have never really found any commentary or articles focused around it and this was really helpful!
I'm cherokee and I can say yes our skin is amazing we are a resilient group of people. Most of us have glowing skin that's tough. I always get asked if I'm wearing foundation cause my skin is smooth 😊
Lol didn’t work for me. I appeared to have more wrinkles and sun spots/age spots pop up since quarantine. There has been some recent research about blue screens causing skin damage similar to sun damage. Just at a lower level
I am ginger and have pale skin and MANY freckles, I would be interested in a video that talks about these type of characteristics: the combination of hair colour, skin tone and skin “marks”. Some find mixtures attractive, others find that when someone doesn’t “match” it throws them off.
Bruh, I used to sit out in the sun, sunscreen free. I love the sun. It makes me feel so good. But recently it’s been getting too wild out in the sun. I’ve started to actually burn, you know when it’s so hot you have to scratch and the skin starts to get red too. Bro I really was playing myself since I realized that basically my skin has become less tolerable of the sun. I started using sun screen which I shouldave a long time ago. But you know, I’m black so I always thought it was a super power to be able to bask in the sun, I later found out this ain’t the case. The sun is as dangerous as it is helpful.
noodle uwu we fall in the category brown skin, not dark skin but before that. Yes we have olive (brownish) skin but genetically bc live in Africa we have the same protection as those of lighter brown skinned people. In short, we age hella good. My momma still hasn’t a single wrinkle.
@@kaydeep7880 nahh I think Asians age better than blacks aging seems to be less noticeable on asians and plus I never noticed blacks look young for their age but I see it alot with asians
@Malika Brooks so basically Asians look young from 0 to 39 the time when it's best to look good but blacks look good when it ain't necessary to look good hmmmk (no hate or anything that's what I'm getting from what you're saying) and you can't use a black celebrity to represent all black people they are white celebrities that look very young for their age but we all now whites don't age well compared to black or asian😜
dear americans i have a question for you why do you call americans who have european roots caucasian? their ancestors are not even from the caucasus -sincerely, someone who lives in the caucasus and looks nothing like your caucasians
@@SANDOSMT well with the same luck they couldve wanted to be called middle eastern, or west african doesnt mean they should be called that, they still would not look like or respresent the culture of those areas. caucasus is known to hold the earliest signs of human development, we look like our ancestors did 2000 years ago yes people are not represented by the land they come from but american descendants of europeans dont have any ties with the caucasus either and thats a fact what im trying to understand is WHY they are called that if we physically do not look alike
I dont want to be picky, but being white does not mean you are caucasian. Most white people in the U.S. aren’t descended from the Kaukasus region between Europe and Asia (touching Russia, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan) but from western and northern Europe. Basically caucasian is geographically inaccurate.
Using caucasion to refer to white people is just a misnomer that's stuck around since the 1800s. If you want to be really picky using the categories "white"/"black" etc is pretty meaningless and unscientific.
Please do “Analyzing Celebrity Faces” - Anil Kapoor [ Bollywood Actor ].... He is 64 years old but his HAIRLINE is as good as a 25 year old man and also give reasons for his ageless face.
I've avoided the sun because I'm very pale and will blister even though I wear sunscreen every damb day lol. Despite this I still am wrinkling, it seemed to happen overnight when I hit 30 before that I didn't really have even fine lines, ageing is horrible, nothing reminds you more of your mortality then seeing pesky wrinkles lmao
We been knew the answer to this lmao. All i know if that my black mother is in her 50's and all my friends still think shes in her late 30's. probably early 30's if she didn't have slightly grey hair. GO MELANIN!!!
Genetics is a crazy thing. I’m dark blonde, white, 31yrs old. My skin looks great, no wrinkles! Love being in the sun, love getting a tan. White as a ghost in winter, super tan in summer. I only apply sunscreen when I know Ill have a lot of sun, for example when I go to the beach. I make sure I NEVER burn my skin though. It rarely happens. I do believe sunscreen helps. But moreover it is just having the right genetics I think. I do have yellow undertones which might help?
31 is hardly old love, wait till your 40 plus. Keep wearing sunscreen, if the women in your family have aged well naturally chances are high that you will too
@eu en Haha I understand 31 is still young, but most women my age are already all wrinkled up. So I'm positive for what my skin will look like when I'm 50.
@@stridery a lot of women who are 31 are overweight, drink a lot, smoke a lot, have poor diets in general, poor sleeping patterns, stressed out, on some kind of medication, so that would all contribute to why they start wrinkling up in their 20s and 30s. That may be why, keep a healthy lifestyle and you can look younger forever and maybe discover immortality.
Yellow undertones helps here as it has more melanin than those with "pinky undertones" and white people are mostly pinky undertones and therefore they burn off like lobster
All I know is my mother-in-law and her sister are close in age and have a similar skin tone, but one had an indoor job and one did a lot of outdoor work. There is a marked difference in their skin between the two. The one who worked indoors has skin that looks about 15 yrs younger (they are both in their 60's).
Yeah.. blue collar work outdoors is associated a bit negatively for a reason. No one wants to prematurely age or engage in backbreaking outdoor work all day.
He's saying darker skin tones provide more protection against the sun. Which, counters the "fair skin is beautiful" that the whiting creams tell people.
Im 55, medium brown, dark brown in summer.. Im foundational Black American, and white folks are always surprised by my age..The always guess 38/45..years.not bad. Blacks usually guess 45/47..
8:56 that kind of censoring makes me really uneasy... Like... A whole bar going across the whole eye regional would be cool... But the little square on each eye... Looks creepy....
Hey all, just want to say that just because "black don't crack" doesn't mean that we should not be careful in the sun. First of all, we can all get skin problems from sunlight. Secondly, black people CAN ACTUALLY SUNBURN, even if of a dark tone (my brownish dad turned R E D for W E E K S ! ! !). Also, this video simplifies into broad "black white asian" categories in part because that's easier to deal with than the true complexity of human genetic expression.
I look young for my age despite having porcelain skin (I'm 32, people usually guess that I'm 25ish), so I can deduce from this video that if I had a similar facial structure but instead of Swedish, British, Irish, German and Japanese, my heritage was African, I'd look like I was in middle school.
Black skin is beautifully protected... I like it. Although I did burn and peel one summer in Afghanistan. I didn't know I could sun burn. My white friends had to tell me what was happening to me. LoL
I was putting off watching this video, as I knew it would inflict some pain ☺️. Skin is my worst physical genetic inheritance by far. Always been jealous of darker and Asian skin tones (so beautiful plus they can go outside during the day without fear).
Well all skin tones are beautiful. I think pale skin is cute and lovely and i think dark skin is majestic and pretty. Everyone has a unique beauty about them.
@@stanfatou2002 agreed. Although poor soles in my ballpark get burst capillaries from 30 seconds of sun exposure 🌞 (even in my twenties), have rosacea, excema, and are often asked if im unwell or sleep deprived 😂 (due to being pale with blue undertones). Not too worried though, plenty worse off. (not on insta though! 😂)
@@MsLouisez well that is very unfortunate. But hey god created y'all with a beautiful skin tone. Yea it may have downsides but it's fine.

Another thing is that in darker skin tones there are more cases of Vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D is responsible for the sun exposure benefits listed at 0:35

Per example, men having hairy chest was considered extremely attractive during the 70s-80s, and in some places with predominant “surfer” or “beach life” culture, having blonde hair or low-contrasted hair in relation to your skin in your arms or legs (independently if you’re a man or a woman) is considered attractive as well.

@@benebeck5628 That's quite true, though some polls will show different answers. It's sad that red hair is considered the least attractive, which might be due to religion and historical associations. I think red hair is beautiful.

Things like exfoliating skin, being well hydrated, diet, drugs&alcohal use, sleep, skin moisturizers and stress also all matter when it comes to your skin health and aging.
Absolutely!
Genetics is number 1
welp ty for reminding me to drink water
@@mic_derin Not really
Genetics are less important than the things you can control. Eat healthy (anti inflammatory), avoid sugar, use sunscreen, avoid the midday sun, avoid stress, have a good skincare routine.
How to stay young:
1. Sunscreen
2. Tretinoin
3. Collagen Supplements
@Brèagha I agree
*sleep*
There isn't much evidence for the last one
theres no evidence for collagen supplements. theyre stupid and overpriced. eat foods rich with amino acids and it will do what collagen supplements claim to do (if not better)
@@bean2275 Only hydrolyzed collagen is proven.
Research: Not all of these collagen supplements are necessarily effective; however, collagen supplements that contain hydrolyzed collagen from marine sources have been proven to play a protective role in skin aging.
You need up to 18 different amino acids in the right quantities and ratio to create a collagen molecule. Collagen builders made with different amino acids typically only contain glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, but not in their complete ratios and concentrations. They also lack other minor but important amino acids necessary to construct a complete collagen molecule helix chain. Hence, in comparison, Hydrolyzed Collagen is more effective because it is already a complete molecule chain and smaller size, contains the complete amino acid sequence and can be absorbed and transported to the dermis of the skin.

THANK YOU MELANIN 💁🏾♀️☀️💕
It is a real problem how we normalize tanning and fetishize darker skin on naturally (very white) caucasian people. I am white, and have freckles. Since I was very young my family and I always went to the south of France. When I was younger I became very tanned very quickly. I am sometimes shocked of pictures from when I was like 8 because I was soooo tan. Later in life, so in my late teens and early 20's I didn't tan as easily anymore (which also is because as a kid I played in the sun constantly, but as an adult I prefer to stay in the shade). My mom and dad barely wear sunscreen so they tan like crazy, as do many friends and acquaintances we got to know going to the same place each year. You don't want to know how much people pressure you to tan and how much people ridicule you for wearing sunscreen and being (naturally) white. People say "you look like a milk bottle" and "have you even been in the sun" that's hard to take from people who don't wear sunscreen, but put tanning oil on their skin instead. Mind you these people have the philosophy "what is red, will eventually turn brown". And let me tell you, they are as red as lobsters at times but still made fun of me and my sister for being white. I don't like to admit it, but those critiques caused me to tan more and boy did I become more tan... something I wish I didn't do, because my skin's health should be more important than other people's critiques. So whilst your trying to do the good thing by protecting your skin, people who do the "wrong" thing a.k.a tan without sunscreen or with tanning oil get praised for looking beautiful and tan. It's kind of twisted.
I can relate to some of that. I'm from Southern Spain and I am super super pale, as well as all my family. In my case my parents were very aware of the sun damage, but the society "told us" that we were too pale. So my sister (which btw is a blonde blue eyed and even paler the me) and me used to spend too much time under the sun, sometimes without suncream or with tanning oil instead. I could get a little bit of tan (which is still considered so white anyway) but my sister always got super red or just got some freckles. We were only 8 to 16 years old when we were obssesed every summer about getting a tan. Fortunately, I'm already over all of that and I have accepted that my skin just can't get tanned 😅 But the damage of many sunburns when I was a kid/teen is already done 🙃
I have a similar experience. I am from southern Italy and Ia’m not too pale so I tan easily, but now I try to avoid it, while when I was a teen I did stupid things like staying hours under the sun to get the desirable tan. But now I get comments saying that I’m “too pale” (even though I’m never really pale) during summer and that I should get a tan. Also a lot of people in Italy still don’t wear sunscreen thinking is useless, but a lot use tanning beds.
@Danny Wade That's not true, lol. I mean, a tan looks pretty when you're young. But definetely not when you're old. You look even older than your age.
@Danny Wade those people are celebrities where looking attractive is literally their job. They get hundreds of procedures done. You cant compare avg people like us and those celebrities.
@Danny Wade you do realize that j lo is not white and all celebs use spray tan lol
Hopefully people with dark skin will stop disliking that aspect of themselves
I've never disliked my complexion. Hell I'm a dark skin girl that sun tans in the summer in hope of even dark skin. Please don't speak for us all...

@@blackstar239 not true. You clearly have no idea about how melanin works. East Asians age better than South West Asians for a reason and S.W tend to be much darker than East Asians.
Isnt that because of sun exposure? The S.W has more summer days than then east do. Idk just a thought.
@@stargirl1589 diet, skin elasticity and lifestyle also. Which goes to show that just because someone skin is darker, it doesn't mean they will age better than someone with lighter (melanited) skin. The way we treat our bodies and our skin plays a huge factor in how we age. And I'm saying this as a black woman.

When you mentioned Asian melanin vs African melanin, is Asian all encompassing of east and south asians or just east Asians?
Exactly my question too. I know that black people are under represented in such studies, but no one seems to mention South Asian people, ie brown skinned people, at all.
East Asian, although South Asians more closely resemble Caucasians in most ways other than skin colour. Also, given that South Asia has quite literally every shade of skin colour living within it, I've only included the 3 largest racial groups and you'll have to make your own judgement as to what your tone is closest to.
[DATA EXPUNGED] lol imagine how I feel as someone who has african,asian AND european roots..
Actually South Asians don’t develop Wrinkles until they reach their 50s. With better Health Habits and Good SkinCare they can minimize a lot of wrinkles. My Dark Skinned Grandmother and my Fair Skinned Mom are Good examples for Aging well.
@@spearmax2222 thank you so much. This is quite helpful :)
Brown Asian here (Polynesian mix). i am 38 but easily pass for mid 20s. sunscreen really works, as well as, melanin! also it is important to take care of your cellular turnover.
i would say it is 60% genetics, 40% hard work.
And not being stressed 24/7 is also important
@@l9kl294 oh im stressed, just learning to be unbothered by it after entering my 30s.
How do you take care of cellular turnover rate? Do you mean by taking products such as retinoids or..?
Interesting video. I'm mixed black with Asian, and even whenever I tell people I'm 45 years old, they react with shock and surprise. I've been told I look nothing over 35. I have no wrinkles and my skin is very smooth, elastic and taut. My grandmother, even shortly before she died at the age of 83, also had smooth, elastic and taut skin with no wrinkles. I've observed however that my white friends have a different set of skin-challenges. Those in their 30's have wrinkles and those in their 40's already have sagging skin. The video's very correct though about discoloration in people with dark-skin. I've unfortunately been affected by this, especially areas around the neck and on my back. A lot of my black friends also have similar problems with skin-discoloration. This just goes to prove, you can never have it all...
I don’t understand why pale people tan. I think everyone skin color is beautiful and everyone looks best in their natural skin tone.
My husband looks burnt orange or copper, I love his complexion. He’s naturally a bit dark though, from Mexico.
I'm really pale with really dark hair and eyes, including bushy eyebrows. A little colour looks much better with my features.
@Bastian 96 if you are born with that skintone it isn't "naturally tan" it's just your skin color.... A tan is specifically the shade you get when you go out in the sun. That's like saying anyone who is born with brown skin is tan, that's not how that works
I think it looks really good when I tan but I’m not interested in looking like a wrinkly trashcan when I’m old.
I am white and relatively pale normally, but in the summer I get pretty dark. It is not my goal, just a byproduct of living by the beach in a country that has a really long summer. A tan here has positive connotations of being outside all summer, having fun, being on vacation. It's not just about being darker, but also all these positive things that are connected to a tan (along with being able to wear some colours that don't go well with your normal skin tone, which some people really like ). That is why people usually tan in the summer, at least where I am from
Could you do a video on how wearing sunscreen affects the aging process? This one was super interesting haha

What I know is that my mom is 67 years old and doesn’t have a single wrinkle.

Akilah Creamy she were wearing sunscreen constantly or it is just fourtane genetic. I am also pale and do not wanna have wrinkles plus I am living in a place that sun is super effective on summers. I am wearing sunscreen genrally but it is so exhausted to wearing sunsreen everyday especially my eyes are so sensitive and they get watery everytime I wear sunscreen
suzi suzim antihistamine really helps for sunscreen allergy
suzi suzim and if you’re in europe buy shaka fluide invisible by la roche posay it’s eye safe. sunscreens used to always sting my eye and with the shaka fluid they don’t sting, they only water. if i’m using antihistamine they don’t water at all
Akilah Creamy does your mom live in a colder región? Im from a cold region and moved to a very hot one and there is a huge difference in the skin quality of the people in both regions. In the cold state even the palest women have much better skin, while down here most of the women look like beef jerky in a blonde wig if they don’t take care of their skin. I’m not dismissing what is probably really fantastic genetics in your family, just curious. Also a lot of European women have naturally beautiful skin
I'm black but on the lighter side. I developed freckles when i was 10 ( thought it was dirt on my face at first🤣 ). And I use to believe in the stupid myth of us not needing sunscreen. I got freaking torched one year while spending hours on the beach😭 Sunscreen is definitely essential no matter how much melanin we have👍🏼
You are on the "lighter side," meaning there is definitely admixture there.. if you were to do a DNA test. Keep in mind that those of us with dark skin, have the best UV protection because we have greater levels of melanin.
Eden Bright not true. There are Africans who are light . When I mean light like nc44-nc43 light and 100% African.

Also Australia was colonised. Their indigenous population is black. Evolution didn't take in account of colonialism lol.
@Hello Again skin cancer is still a significant problem in Australia
@Hello Again yeah but increased animalq farming means more nitrous oxides which thins the ozone layer even more. This is particularly bad for Australia. Even if a few more people wear sunscreen, the skin cancer rates in Australia won't decrease by a whole lot.
@Hello Again lol no. The ozone layer let's in uv rays and we know that affects lighter skin individuals. Also there isn't much progress on the ozone layer. You honestly sound like an insecure white person who can't handle facts
@Hello Again no they didn't have a life expectancy of 40. You aren't that bright it seems. It was about 70 but there was a lot of child mortality so averages to 40. Also, even with sunscreen, people aren't actually going to apply the right amount. When sunscreen was invented l, the stats made it seem like it increases cancer rates but this was only because it made thwn feel bulletproof. Evolution made European skin lighter so it could absorb more vitamin d in areas with less sunlight
@@mushy470 europeans diagnosed with melanoma skin cancer have a 97% survival rate of 5 years up to stage 3 and stage 4 is 20% while for black people its 77% for 5 years and 1% at stage 4 take that at face value. skin cancer is very treatable and at this point its removal is like a dentist appointment. including skin cancer resistant gene mutations among europeans to fight against skin cancer.

@@cam9290 lol, no. Read some studies, you only get about 60% of UI meaning you need to buy 10000UI pills to get enough vitamin d. 10000 UI isnt expensive at all 15 euros for 1 year supplie but studies arent sure about the safety of it. Just get in the sun for 10 -20 mins daily and thats it, save money and you wont get any skin aging or illness.. Also the 6k UI needed for the bodie is given by studies on white people, so if you arent white you have no clue on how much UI you should take

@@1queijocas It's so interesting that you said "eat fish and eggs". I am Senegalese. We are extremely dark. We eat seafood all the time. Our national dish is a fish dish.

i knew an east asian with the milkiest milky white skin i've ever seen and she still covers up like there's no tomorrow... the sun is like a plague to her...
Monzo Lena there’s no scientific peer reviewed research that suggests that lack of sunlight caused vit d deficiency when you can easily consume a rda through foods alone. That is such a tired argument I’m not sure why people still believe it...
@Monzo Lena East asian lack gene which can effectively produce vitamine D. So it is better to consume more milk for east asian to get vitamine D.
Ever since I was was little I didn't like looking tanned. So I rarely am out in the sun and when I am I usually have my sunscreen with me and wear something that protects my skin. And after having watched this video I feel even better about my choices in the last years haha
There isn't even much sunlight here at the moment in Iceland so I'm happy
well in Iceland it would be an advantage to have less melanin because of vitamin D absorption, any person of darker skin would have to either actively seek out vitamin D sources or take supplements.
Check the index, if its above 4 you‘re still better off wearing sunscreen
@S no you don't understand, the sun isn't being blocked by clouds. We are too far north to have the sun shine full on us during some times of the year, for three months its constantly 'night', the only light comes from the stars and the aurora we frequently get.

Perfect timing, QOVES, I just came from the beach sunburnt 😚
same! lol
Do Mediterranean skin types have any significant advantages in terms of UV protection or is it negligible?
i think mediterraneans must be somewhere similar to north africans in terms of melatonin because it’s similar sun exposure in those areas? I think it would be more similar to that than to other europeans that have a more pinkish time to their skin. So since there is so much sun exposure i’d say their melatonin protects them slightly more? I’m not sure though, just a guess
Bastian 96 Northern Europeans have an advantage where they live though. The long and dark winters with very mild summers compared to other places. The light skin helps take in more vitamins.
It’s a very interesting topic
Here to answer, we usually burn in 30 minutes averagely, scandinavians migh burn in 15. Remember that mediterranians are also white😂

Everyone should also put on Lotion daily. Moisturizing your skin keeps elasticity. Yes It's a little time consuming but worth it.
My grandparents were ageless. (Us being Asian). My grandfather who was 98 y/o looked as if he was 60. (He also had a stroke). My grandmother who is 85 looks 60 as well. They were also out in the sun a lot when they were back in the homeland. We must have good genetics 😂
Fun fact: People who are Caucasian evolved from black people as they traveled further into the colder/European regions. They where dying from lack of sun to there dark skin so over time (a long time) the human race that has only been black up to this point, started being born with a gene that made them white and more sufficient for the environment. They needed less melanin and had straight hair to warm them from the cold weather when prior most humans only had kinky hair to protect themselves from the sun. ♥️♥️♥️♥️

I’ve started to actually burn, you know when it’s so hot you have to scratch and the skin starts to get red too. Bro I really was playing myself since I realized that basically my skin has become less tolerable of the sun. I started using sun screen which I shouldave a long time ago. But you know, I’m black so I always thought it was a super power to be able to bask in the sun, I later found out this ain’t the case. The sun is as dangerous as it is helpful.
Yess💯💯
Arrête la dépigmentation et tu verras, plus de coups de soleils
i wish i could consistently wear sunscreen without breaking out
More videos about asians (south-eastern, eastern, etc) please
But what about olive skinned people or people from south Asia? How bad do they age?
Medium.
@@ebonynaomi1085 explain in depth
GZB 99 they probably have more protection than caucasion skintones but not as much as african skintones
I'm an olive skinned African (North African for reference)and im wondering the samw
noodle uwu we fall in the category brown skin, not dark skin but before that. Yes we have olive (brownish) skin but genetically bc live in Africa we have the same protection as those of lighter brown skinned people. In short, we age hella good. My momma still hasn’t a single wrinkle.
Hi Qoves Studios, would you consider doing a video on chemical peels?... Seems like that subject would be a great compliment to this video's subject.
i regret tanning every summer back when I was a high school fetus
Lol, why do you regret it, if you don't mind me asking?
@@crystalskyy9809 bc it probably made me age 5 years already lol
Try retinoids
Just keep using sun block,,, never too late

The ULTIMATE battle: Black don’t crack vs Asian don’t Raisin
What battle lol black wins obviously. We are the original people, how could we ever lose?
@@kaydeep7880 nahh I think Asians age better than blacks aging seems to be less noticeable on asians and plus I never noticed blacks look young for their age but I see it alot with asians
Pollita Singh nah. Asians either look 12 or 67. No in between
@Malika Brooks so basically Asians look young from 0 to 39 the time when it's best to look good but blacks look good when it ain't necessary to look good hmmmk (no hate or anything that's what I'm getting from what you're saying) and you can't use a black celebrity to represent all black people they are white celebrities that look very young for their age but we all now whites don't age well compared to black or asian😜
@@Ali.A234 wtf
I don't even need to watch this video to know the answer but still a good video.
so you dont know the answer then? lol
So we not gone talk about that gorgeous brown model with freckles
dear americans i have a question for you
why do you call americans who have european roots caucasian? their ancestors are not even from the caucasus
-sincerely, someone who lives in the caucasus and looks nothing like your caucasians
Hahahahahaha best comment lmaoo
Bc of a German guy who decided to call Europeans Caucasians. I’m ethnically from the Caucasus mountains too! But I’m Turkish
Thank you I’m American but I know Caucasian doesn’t always mean white lol
@@princessyarkor730 an intellectual
@@SANDOSMT well with the same luck they couldve wanted to be called middle eastern, or west african doesnt mean they should be called that, they still would not look like or respresent the culture of those areas.
caucasus is known to hold the earliest signs of human development, we look like our ancestors did 2000 years ago
yes people are not represented by the land they come from but american descendants of europeans dont have any ties with the caucasus either and thats a fact
what im trying to understand is WHY they are called that if we physically do not look alike
I dont want to be picky, but being white does not mean you are caucasian. Most white people in the U.S. aren’t descended from the Kaukasus region between Europe and Asia (touching Russia, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan) but from western and northern Europe. Basically caucasian is geographically inaccurate.
because caucasian now means all ethnicities of white (whether accurate or not)
Using caucasion to refer to white people is just a misnomer that's stuck around since the 1800s. If you want to be really picky using the categories "white"/"black" etc is pretty meaningless and unscientific.

LIFE TIPS✨✨
use your sunscreen/block 30 min before you go outside or it will not protect your skin
Gosh I never heard about it, thanks.
@@flazeda8743 its on the packaging loll (for chemical spf at least)
@@kelly-xz3uo I read it too quick then lol. ;)
this only applies for chemical sunscreens, you don't need to for mineral sunscreens
The fact that we have different Melanin is sooo weird
Thank you so much for making this video and btw all your videos are amazing and well researched so I applaud you for that
Please do “Analyzing Celebrity Faces” - Anil Kapoor [ Bollywood Actor ].... He is 64 years old but his HAIRLINE is as good as a 25 year old man and also give reasons for his ageless face.
I've avoided the sun because I'm very pale and will blister even though I wear sunscreen every damb day lol. Despite this I still am wrinkling, it seemed to happen overnight when I hit 30 before that I didn't really have even fine lines, ageing is horrible, nothing reminds you more of your mortality then seeing pesky wrinkles lmao
@Big wave Dave people talk about this guy jesus alot.. Who is he?
We been knew the answer to this lmao. All i know if that my black mother is in her 50's and all my friends still think shes in her late 30's. probably early 30's if she didn't have slightly grey hair. GO MELANIN!!!
Genetics is a crazy thing. I’m dark blonde, white, 31yrs old. My skin looks great, no wrinkles! Love being in the sun, love getting a tan. White as a ghost in winter, super tan in summer. I only apply sunscreen when I know Ill have a lot of sun, for example when I go to the beach. I make sure I NEVER burn my skin though. It rarely happens. I do believe sunscreen helps. But moreover it is just having the right genetics I think. I do have yellow undertones which might help?
31 is hardly old love, wait till your 40 plus. Keep wearing sunscreen, if the women in your family have aged well naturally chances are high that you will too
@eu en Haha I understand 31 is still young, but most women my age are already all wrinkled up. So I'm positive for what my skin will look like when I'm 50.
@@stridery a lot of women who are 31 are overweight, drink a lot, smoke a lot, have poor diets in general, poor sleeping patterns, stressed out, on some kind of medication, so that would all contribute to why they start wrinkling up in their 20s and 30s.
That may be why, keep a healthy lifestyle and you can look younger forever and maybe discover immortality.
Yellow undertones helps here as it has more melanin than those with "pinky undertones" and white people are mostly pinky undertones and therefore they burn off like lobster
@@stridery yeesh. I noticed there are so many people trying to shoot others down in these comment sections. Good for you though!
It convinced me to use more sunscreen
All I know is my mother-in-law and her sister are close in age and have a similar skin tone, but one had an indoor job and one did a lot of outdoor work. There is a marked difference in their skin between the two. The one who worked indoors has skin that looks about 15 yrs younger (they are both in their 60's).
Yeah.. blue collar work outdoors is associated a bit negatively for a reason. No one wants to prematurely age or engage in backbreaking outdoor work all day.
I love being a brown queen 22 years old and people think im 17 because of my face
Same 🙌🏿
I’m just pretending I know what he’s talking about 😂
Same. His voice is really nice to hear.
He's saying darker skin tones provide more protection against the sun. Which, counters the "fair skin is beautiful" that the whiting creams tell people.
WRO ow, thanks for explaining and resuming! (:
Lol
Always wear sunscreen. Even during the winter!
Melanin is my sunscreen
for celebrity analysis can you please do keira knightley or Lily rose depp?
Im 55, medium brown, dark brown in summer.. Im foundational Black American, and white folks are always surprised by my age..The always guess 38/45..years.not bad. Blacks usually guess 45/47..
8:56 that kind of censoring makes me really uneasy... Like... A whole bar going across the whole eye regional would be cool... But the little square on each eye... Looks creepy....
Reminds me of natsuki from ddlc
Hey all, just want to say that just because "black don't crack" doesn't mean that we should not be careful in the sun. First of all, we can all get skin problems from sunlight. Secondly, black people CAN ACTUALLY SUNBURN, even if of a dark tone (my brownish dad turned R E D for W E E K S ! ! !). Also, this video simplifies into broad "black white asian" categories in part because that's easier to deal with than the true complexity of human genetic expression.
This is why I wear sunscreen everyday man. Even if I don't know if the sun will even hit me. I can't take the chance.
I look young for my age despite having porcelain skin (I'm 32, people usually guess that I'm 25ish), so I can deduce from this video that if I had a similar facial structure but instead of Swedish, British, Irish, German and Japanese, my heritage was African, I'd look like I was in middle school.
@Lily Frey okay, as long as you love the skin you are in.
Black skin is beautifully protected... I like it. Although I did burn and peel one summer in Afghanistan. I didn't know I could sun burn. My white friends had to tell me what was happening to me. LoL
I was putting off watching this video, as I knew it would inflict some pain ☺️. Skin is my worst physical genetic inheritance by far.
Always been jealous of darker and Asian skin tones (so beautiful plus they can go outside during the day without fear).
Well all skin tones are beautiful. I think pale skin is cute and lovely and i think dark skin is majestic and pretty. Everyone has a unique beauty about them.
@@stanfatou2002 agreed.
Although poor soles in my ballpark get burst capillaries from 30 seconds of sun exposure 🌞 (even in my twenties), have rosacea, excema, and are often asked if im unwell or sleep deprived 😂 (due to being pale with blue undertones).
Not too worried though, plenty worse off. (not on insta though! 😂)
With proper sleep, diet and skin care you're skin will thrive💞
@@MsLouisez well that is very unfortunate. But hey god created y'all with a beautiful skin tone. Yea it may have downsides but it's fine. With my dark skin i get hyper pigmentation on my legs and armpits that are super ugly ugh. It's no where near as harmful has yours but i thought we could share what we hated about our skin😂
thats probably the reason why my black dad has literally looked the same the last 10 years, literally has no wrinkles and he's 41
Another thing is that in darker skin tones there are more cases of Vitamin D deficiency.
Vitamin D is responsible for the sun exposure benefits listed at 0:35
These videos are so scientific and awesome!!
