Fair skins age faster due to the difference in melanin and protection from the sun. This is why they burn faster. This impacts the skins ability to defend itself from UV radiation.
UV radiation is one of the biggest causes of aging. Exposure to the sun results in collagen and elastin destruction as well as pigmentation and uneven skin tone. In a more olive skin the melanin protects the skin from damage. As they have more protection they don’t age as quickly. Darker skins however are more prone to inflammatory pigmentation.
From experience we find fairer skins need to start treatment 7 years earlier than a darker complexion. It is much easier to prevent aging than to reverse it.
