Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
I know this is mainly based on opinions but my goodness!
Yes we may have more melanin: brown skin pigment: a dark brown or black pigment that is naturally present to varying degrees in the skin, hair, eyes, fur, or feathers of people and animals as well as in plants.
Black people have have oily skin and dry skin and have other types as well. Same with others.
Yes there are a large amount of black people that are obese/ overweight, same as other races that live here in America. The way certain food is prepare (If you ever heard of fast food), is unhealthy for us (which is any and everybody). If you don't eat enough fruits and veggies this is what will happen to you.
Black & white people both age beautifully and both age with wrinkles.
But it all comes down to how you take care of your body & skin.
And how you live your life. Smoking, too much time in the sun, stress, not enough exercise, certain foods, using products that are unnatural or full of toxins will lead to things like wrinkles, age spots and more.

I think it depends on the people you see around you. I have worked in a number of foreign countries and haven't noticed much difference in aging between any of the races. There's always wrinkley Asians, Africans and Europeans, just as there are those who look good for their age. One thing is true though, Europeans should definitely stay out of the sun !! Why are European women so obsessed with tanning when that is the very thing that turns their skin into dried out leather !

That's not the end of the story. Darker skinned people living in more northerly countries tend to suffer from vitamin deficiency due to their not getting enough sunlight through their skin.
Swings and roundabouts, I guess.

It's the environmental damage. White people's skin shows damage from sun, exposure, smoking, all of it more than other cultures. I have a black lady in my office who people routinely think is a teenager. She is a GRANDMOTHER. it' s so unfair.

They tan quite a bit, and that's not really good for your skin. It damages it, and of course, there's also the diet factor...
If you smoke, it also damages you skin and eyes a LOT.

I think it has do with the higher melanin productions in other ethnicities skin, and caucasions also tan alot. I think that the sun damage also has something to do with it.
