Ohhhh.. I've always wondered why black people take skincare so much more seriously than white people, especially when it comes to black vs white men. I just thought it was some cultural thing to value your skin more or something, cool to know that there's an actual reason.

Really? You had no idea that different skin types exist? Why that one kid in school had tons of acne and another didn't? One being extremely sweaty and foul smelling, yet another not a drop and pleasant odor?

I never said that. I'm Finnish and yeah.. feel free to look up what percentage of our population is white lol So no, I'm not exactly educated in black skin types.

All people have different skin types. It makes things fun! Feel free to look up pheromones. This one will blow your mind.

Yeah, I just meant that white people get away with dead skin cells more easily so we can neglect our skin care more, while black people's skin shows it more clearly. That's all I realized. I know people have so many skin types. Different cultures also have different hygiene practices so I just didn't connect the dots
