We’ve
all heard and seen shining exacr-ack.” Thanks to good genes, lots of
ultraviolet ray-shielding melanin, natural oils and some say the grace of God —
many black folk enjoy a youthful appearance way past the age others start to
experience winkles, age spots and sagging skin.
Well,
that notion was part of Allure’s first-ever anti-aging survey in the April 2013
issue, and the results show that most African Americans do indeed celebrate
their age-defying looks.
The
survey found that 86 percent of the African-American participants thought that
they aged the best, compared to 81 percent of Asians, 53 percent of
Hispanics/Latinos and 46 percent of Whites/Caucasians. We clearly don’t lack
self-esteem.
64
percent of black women say they aren’t worried about the physical signs of
aging
81
percent of black women think they look younger than other woman their age
65
percent of black women have no intention of considering anti-aging treatments
or procedures in the future
In
addition, African-American women also believe that a woman stops looking sexy
around the age of 64. That’s approximately 10 years past the sexy “expiration
date” given by the rest of the survey participants.
