The Asian’s overall pursuit is eternal beauty. A fair share of their income is spent on color cosmetics and skin care products. Most important to this culture is spending their monies with companies that share their same values.

According to Skin Site, because Asian countries are generally warm in climate, Asian skin naturally produces more oil. This, in turn, leaves individuals of Asian descent more vulnerable to acne outbreaks than Caucasians. In most cases, Asian acne outbreaks will be in the form of keloids, or hardened bumps and reddening. Unfortunately, these types of acne growths are more likely to lead to permanent scarring if they aren’t treated quickly and thoroughly.

As most men and women age, wrinkling is the primary visual side effect that presents on the skin. Because Asians have much higher natural hydration levels than Caucasians or Africans, rather than wrinkling, the primary age-related skin condition they face is dark spots. Spots of hyper-pigmentations, freckles and general unevenness of skin tone can be quite prominent against the usually warm, smooth Asian skin, making these skin abnormalities stand out more than they would in individuals of other racial backgrounds.
