    I think it's important to remember that the whole reason there are different skin colors is evolution trying to find the proper balance between protecting skin from UV rays and allowing enough UV rays through to produce enough nutrients.

      I don’t fucking care about how old I look. I care about how old I feel.

      Read the article. It’s not saying what you think it’s saying. It’s a reallly interesting read.

      There are other factors that age skin. Wind, cold, etc.
