Do you think its true that ‘black don’t crack’?

Question

CrazyGirl2 · Accepted Answer

To a degree this is correct! Recent studies seem to show that It appears that melanin does have a profound impact on the physical signs of aging, insomuch as it can delay the outward signs of aging on the face, neck, backs of hands, and on the décolletage. However, with enough time the signs of aging will eventually catch up thus “black DOES indeed crack” (it just takes longer for the signs to appear) this appears to have something to do with melanin protecting skin from harmful UV radiation, as well as some races having naturally thicker skin: Source ;

No cause I have met people that weren't black look young for their age. Also, if an Indian doesn't take good care of themselves that can age as well. I'm a black female who's 24 but look 16-17, and my friends who are around my age and I have coworkers that look extremely young as well. So no I really don't believe that to be honest

Depends on how you're living, stress, nutrition, vices, etc

I've met some old black people that looked like time just stopped for them in their early 40s / 50s

Contrary to that I've known some black guys in their 30s and 40s that look like they're about to fall over from old age

I guess if they take good care of themselves just like some Latinas.

I work with a black woman that's 71 years old! She does not look it; she can easily pull off looking like she is in her 30s, maybe early 40s!

I asked her what is her secret- she said good genetics and she takes care of herself. Perhaps ethnicity can play a factor; however, it also comes down to how well you take care of your body as well.

... I hope I look that good at 70, sheesh.

Ceteris Parabis? Yes. Meaning if they don't do extreme unhealthy thing against the odds of their genes.
I don't see how another race (East Oriental Asians) not cracking had to do with this question... : often East Asians use lots of anti aging creams (not talking about simple moisturizer).

I’ve met some incredibly young looking black people, who I later found out were not young at all 😯

Theyre diets were not healthy, and they had terrible skin care routines. So my best guess is genetics.

I think this is true to some extent. Melanin does slow aging but this also depends on many other factors such as lifestyle, skin care, health, sleeping habits, diet etc...

Tiptoetamm · Answer

Sort of. If you heathy and hydrate low stress you have less chance of aging

Aurora1010 · Answer

Melenated skin does look youthful but Asians age the best

HeartFullOfGlue · Answer

Yeah there's some scientific reason why but I forgot (something to do with melanin, I think)
