Characteristics of Asian Skin

Dermatologist Thomas B. Fitzpatrick developed the Fitzpatrick scale to classify different skin types based on their response to UV rays.

According to the Fitzpatrick scale, Asians have various skin types, ranging from Type III to IV.

Common Problems in Asian Skin: Loses Moisture Easily

Some studies have shown that Asian skin has the highest values in experiencing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) among all skin types.

Due to larger gaps in the lipid barrier, Asian skin tends to dry out faster, becoming more permeable and, consequently, more prone to dehydration.

Common Problems in Asian Skin: Oiliness and Acne

Among various skin types, Asian skin tends to be more susceptible to acne-related issues. This vulnerability arises due to the skin barrier being easily compromised, particularly in the presence of pollution, allowing acne-causing bacteria to flare.

Furthermore, Asian skin is prone to damage from both physical factors and chemicals, and it doesn't have enough protection against the loss of natural oils. This imbalance contributes to heightened oiliness in the skin.

Common Problem in Asian Skin: Photoaging

According to research, Asian women usually appear younger than women of the same age, sparking curiosity about the secrets behind their youthful appearance.

The answer lies in the fact that the dermis of Asian skin is thicker than any other skin type, containing a higher density of collagen and elastin. Despite its high collagen density, Asian skin is prone to photoaging due to its ability to absorb significant amounts of UVA radiation.

UVA-I penetrates deep into the dermis, damaging elastic fibers, collagen, and skin structure, leading to enlarged pores, loose skin, wrinkles, and premature aging (photoaging).

UVA-II stimulates melanocytes in the epidermis, resulting in darker skin or the formation of dark spots.

Whether it's cloudy or sunny, it's essential to prioritize daytime sun protection to avoid accelerating skin aging
