AB KEY  POINTSRace,  cultural  behavior,  nature  of  occupation,  hobbies,  and  smoking  habit  can  affect  the  photoaging  process.The  skin  of  people  with  skin  of  color  varies  considerably  in  its  response  to  sun  exposure  and  the  process  of  photoaging  in  view  of  the  wide  range  of  skin  phototypes.The  melanin  in  darker  skin  type  appears  to  confer  protection  against  the  photoaging  effect  of  ultraviolet  B  and  A  radiation.Fairer-skinned  individuals  tend  to  develop  earlier  onset  of  photoaging  and  develop  more  prominent  wrinkles  and  skin  laxity  than  those  with  skin  of  color.People  with  skin  of  color  tend  to  have  less  coarse  wrinkles,  skin  sagging,  telangiectasia,  actinic  keratoses,  and  skin  cancers  but  tend  to  manifest  with  more  pigmentary  disorders  (eg,  lentigo  and  melasma)  and  uneven  skin  tones.  In  addition,  as  a  result  of  the  reduced  extrinsic  aging  changes,  signs  of  intrinsic  aging,  such  as  volume  loss,  can  appear  accentuated.
