What are the characteristics to mixed race skin

[emdalem]

I'm doing some coursework on Ethnic Variations In Skin Types and its telling me to describe how you would recognise the skin characterisitics to mixed race skin.

So far iv'e put:
Mixed race skin generally ages at a much slower rate then white skin. this is mainly due to the extra protection provided by melanin, which not only screens out UV but also abosorbs free radicals.

i can't think what else to put though..

HELP needed please!

Hi there, they would usually have oily skin due to their sebaceous glands being more active, this helps slow down the appearance of ageing hth

Postinflammatory hyperpigmentation. Skin damage as minor as a scratch or a pimple triggers excess melanin production and results in dark patches. Without prompt attention, the marks can last for months and even years before they fade.
[*]Postinflammatory hypopigmentation. Burns or other skin trauma leaves lighter areas as unwelcome reminders.
[*]Keloids. Injuries leave behind large, raised scars.


I dont want to do your work for you as I think it's important we do our own research.There's plenty of info on ethnic skin via google.Here is another site though.Hth
