Why do Westerners get wrinkly skin at a young age?

Why is it that Americans and Europeans seem to get wrinkly skin by their early to mid 20s?





I see a lot of Asian people in their 30s who still have wrinkle-free skin.|||And then when they hit 40 they prune up. seriously. It has to do with sun exposure,smoking and genetics. there are many westerners that don%26#039;t get wrinkles into their sixties, while many asians are really wrinkled bad by then.|||Rapid aging, wrinkled skin, skin becoming wrinkly in a short time?





The reason may be wrinkly skin virus:

then dark skinned people would have the nicest skin because it is the least damaged by the sun.


light skinned people also have damaged skin early in life because they originally came from Europe, which is more north, so the sun isn%26#039;t as intense, so they didn%26#039;t need to have daker skin, but when they moved they needed to, but don%26#039;t. that%26#039;s why everyone should wear sunscreen to protect their skin so they look good and don%26#039;t get skin cancer.|||its cuz americans age faster because most of them think they can tan and sit in the sun all they want and nothing happen...wrong|||Well I%26#039;m not sure that%26#039;s true. I%26#039;m American and I don%26#039;t know anyone in their 20%26#039;s with wrinkles. I%26#039;d say most fair skinned people start to get wrinkles in their 30%26#039;s. It depends on your skin type, your genetics, how much time you spend in the sun, if you smoke, drink, etc.
