I remember a skin care ad with possibly Rita Moreno. She said Latino women and black women have a layer of moisture within the are below the surface of their skin. This feeds the cells of their complexion and makes them look younger since older women lose that moisture and start to dry up and make wrinkles. She said that’s why some women are mistaken for younger.
