Ethnicity And Aging.
Byline: CARA BIRNBAUM
With the national dialogue focused on race these days, it seems only fitting that skin color is also a burgeoning area in anti-aging research. And pigment isn't the only factor dermatologists consider. Each ethnic group "has its own propensity to develop specific signs of aging," says Susan C. Taylor, assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons. So while the usual advice still applies to everyonewear sunscreen; use retinoleach group can round out their routine by adding the following products and tricks.
Black Skin
The issues: Rough skin; uneven tone, including raised, pigmented growths called dermatosis papulosa nigra.
What to avoid: Mechanical exfoliants, irritating skin-care ingredients (such as alcohol, propylene glycol, and lanolin), Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments, and ablative lasersall of which can cause light and dark spots.
What to do: To smooth the skin, wash twice a day with a product containing 5 percent glycolic acid, such as Glycolix 5% Gentle Face Cleanser, says Heather Woolery-Lloyd, director of ethnic skin care at the University of Miami Cosmetic Medicine and Research Institute. And once a week, try a glycolic acid peel, such as Peter Thomas Roth Un-Wrinkle Peel Pads, for deeper exfoliation. For dark growths, see a dermatologist to have them removed using an electric current.
