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.

Maybe i SHOULD draft out my ‘Clark is a SuperPlant’ propaganda post

#chattin #due to. recent tags that resonated w me #im already someone that loathes the ‘theyre completely alien AND they conveniently look AND function exactly the same as a human’ trope #esp when they have the nerve to make them PROCREATE w humans wo any defects whatsoever #ur lying ur unimaginative u suck !!!!#so my compromise is always like #fine. the point is that they have to blend in very well. i will concede on that front #but god as my witness i will make him so fucked up internally.#u should xray him and see a fucking mess of organs pumping in bizarre places #things that let him see things w a microscopic lens #things that let him exist in a vacuum bc he doesnt need to Breathe #u should get him in a red sun room and realize hes still able to exist unharmed in a vacumm and go hey man. what the fuck .#going to reach max tags bc i never seem to behave myself no matter what im yelling about #i need bruce to sit down and finally read whatever kryptonian text is floating around #and realize clark- despite his mammalian appearance- is far more linked to plants than anything else #a plant w TEETH and EYES and somehow became a predator instead of staying as a plant #HOWWW did u evolve into what u are now? what did ur ancestors look like??? a daisy???#if u look at any kryptonian species youd see that all of them behave like clark- like they all evolved in a similar way #saw a post (i GOTTA find it again) that said that clark is brownskinned which seems a little silly when u compare it to human melanin #but that sunlight makes for a healthy kryptonian and their skin will show it #and paleskinned kryptonians are seeking out more sun and starving for it. like. ouuuu.#i wont add that to my own hcs but its that kinda shit i love sooo much #get so caught up on trying to make him human in ur eyes that u end up misunderstanding him entirely #love him #xenobio #for tagging

A little late but I made Natlan edits

Anyone can use them for whatever if they want

#traveler from another world ✨#genshin impact #natlan #genshin natlan #mualani #genshin mualani #kachina #genshin kachina #kinich #genshin kinich #citlali #genshin citlali #xilonen #genshin xilonen #iansan #genshin iansan #chasca #genshin chasca #mavuika #genshin mavuika #ororon #genshin ororon #everyone’s right when they say they look better with melanin #I heard they’re originally designed to be dark skinned but got changed but I haven’t seen a source for that so it might just be rumors #I’m really excited for Natlan but so disappointed in the lack of cultural authenticity #and I like most of the character designs even if they could definitely be better #except for the guys. they’re not bad but they’re so generic and unoriginal #like oh two blue/green emo white boys with black hair? exactly what this game needs #of course people are already simping for them #it wouldn’t be the genshin fandom if everyone didn’t lose their minds over the same repackaged characters over and over again

😱 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!

Remember when Sumeru came out and people were saying shit like:

“They’re pasty asf because they live in a rainforest and the trees block the sun and without sun they can't tan so that's why they're-”

SHUT UP. BEING IN THE SHADE DOESNT MAGICALLY TURN SOMEONE WHITE. YOU CAN BE BORN WITH NATURALLY DARK SKIN WITHOUT BAKING IN THE SUN.

Hoyoverse is racist and colorist that's why they barely make playable dark skinned characters :/

#wait for natlan! okay we waited now what wait for version 8.7 #i hate hoyoverse driders #like yknow melanin exists ???#genshin impact #genshin #sumeru #natlan
