Before we get into the guide, we must know why we tend to age worse than other groups. We can not know how to fix something if we don't know the cause.
The reason is that our skin is MUCH more sensitive to the sun's radiation. We have fuck all melanin, especially us north europeans.
The purpose of melanin is to protect from the sun's rays. The more you have, the darker your skin and the better protected you become. This also results in you losing effectiveness of D absorption as you have a bunch of melanin blocking the sun's rays. As a result, black people living in northern climates usually suffer from vit D deficiencies as the northern climate has less sun exposure.
The problem arises because we lack protection from UV light because we evolved to take in as much light as possible in our dark and cold birthplace. So our tendency to go out in the sun MUCH more than we ever evolved to reasonably need to results in our skin degrading faster. Even in northern climates, we are still faloed by UV rays, they're still going to hit you in sweden.
So now we know the problem. We should be taking steps to make up for our lack of UV protection.
1. specially made UV protecting sunscreen is a must. Remember, most sunscreens are dogshit and dont actually protect you from this stuff. Make sure to get the right kind.
2. avoid going out during mid day. UV is the harshest during peak hour, so make sure to get your vit D during the morning so you don't erode your skin.
3. take Vit D supplements. If you live in an especially shit area for white like I do, it's likely best to supplement your sun exposure for artificial sources of vit D. In my country, about a 3rd of all people get skin cancer at some point.
4. wear head covering. There is no reason why you should be exposing your face to the sun at all. Any skin on your body can give you the positive effects of the sun, just expose your arms and legs so you get vit d and the other benefits and leave your face unharmed.
