[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP - I agree with the posters who say this is really all about white women.

Women of color don’t age the same way white women do, so when we are 40, we don’t typically look like we are 40. There are obviously exceptions, such as people who work outside or with their hands a lot. Hair is not really a concern for Black women and Latinas as we age. Black women continue to do cool protective styles or whatever they want and it isn’t shamed. Latinas typically have long hair forever, and it looks great.

I am white. Early 40s. I look younger. Most people guess 8 years younger. It is not always women of color who age well.[/quote]

I actually think some of the white women who age the best are the super pale ones who are early in the game to some of the proven skincare regimes others don't start til their 30s. I think I look pretty good, but I have been on prescription strength retinoids and using broad spectrum SPF 40+ sunscreen since I was 11 years old! Needless to say, could never be a sun Goddess, so damage avoided there. For white women, I swear it is the un that does the most damage. Us White Walkers who stayed away from baking kind of reap the rewards later on. Though if I had to choose, would be nice to be able to tan I guess and still do all the rest. [/quote]
