Why Do Black Women Look So Young? Shocking Black Beauty Secret!

Melanin is a natural pigment that gives color to your skin, hair, and eyes. It's produced by cells called melanocytes and protects the skin from damage from the sun's UV radiation. People have varying amounts of melanin - the more melanin you have, the darker your complexion.

😱 Shocking Black Beauty Secret! This Is Why Black Women Look So Young!

Melanin is a natural pigment that gives color to your skin, hair, and eyes. It's produced by cells called melanocytes and protects the skin from damage from the sun's UV radiation. People have varying amounts of melanin - the more melanin you have, the darker your complexion.

Melanin provides benefits by absorbing UV rays and dissipating over 90% of the absorbed radiation as heat. This protects skin cell DNA from mutations that could lead to cancer. Melanocytes increase melanin production when skin is exposed to sunlight, safeguarding it from sunburn. Melanin is a powerful natural protectant, which allows skin to tan instead of burn.

Greater concentrations of the pigment grant better photoprotection. So while all skin needs monitoring for sun safety, melanin offers innate advantages against sun damage for those with more enriched complexions. Appreciate the skin you’re in!

A post to honor the Iconic/Influential: Denise Huxtable

Before Moesha, Carrie Bradshaw, Raven Baxter, Samantha Jones, Tony Childs, Blair Waldorf, Olivia Pope & so many more, Denise Huxtable set a lot of trends and broke fashion boundaries in the 80s. Providing decades of Inspiration and recreations. Denise made fashion fun, daring, exciting, adding a whole new layer to who she was as a character. Denise quickly became a fan favorite and soon after a pop culture icon.

Inspired by Lisa Bonet’s own eccentric and outlandish fashion sense, Denise's personal style was largely embraced by the public, and she is widely considered to be a style icon.

A writer of The Guardian credits Denise Huxtable with introducing television audiences to boho-chic 30 years before it became a mainstream fashion trend.

Several publications have ranked Denise among the best-dressed characters on television, including Elle, Glamour, Essence, StyleCaster, Vibe, and Harper's Bazaar.

In 2012, clothing company Urban Outfitters created a clothing line inspired by Denise entitled "A Different World" describing it as "a nod to the coolest older sister ever"

She is eternally on the mood board for many creatives. This kind of influence is unprecedented, unmatched and cannot be bought or recreated. Although I’m sure Lisa Bonét doesn’t have many great memories of those days, I hope she knows how much she has inspired so many people on our journeys to self discovery. She has absolutely inspired me since childhood and continues to ♥️
