Dermatologist Shereene Idriss explains how genetics shape skin aging, using a woman in her late 30s as an example. Asian skin often has denser collagen and better tissue quality, but still loses midface volume over time. Sun protection and even complexion help her look younger than her age.
Are you doomed to age like shit because of your genetics? Maybe. I'm a 40 year old board certified dermatologist and this woman on my right is in her late 30s. She is a Filipina descent and yes, Asian skin in my opinion ages better. It is superior the collagen density, the tissue quality is just better. But that doesn't mean she's going to look like a young grape her whole life. In fact, if you take a closer look at her face, you will start to notice volume loss in the midsection of her face. That does give away the stage of life that she is at. But she looks amazing because her skin tone, her complexion is even. She has protected her skin in her youth from the damages of the sun.
