From what I've read, people have different skin colors and types depending on the sun exposure from their background--ie, England doesn't get as much sun as say Mexico--therefore their skin has evolved differently to protect them differently. At the same time, how many people now have just one background. The part that bugs me the most is "if you want to specialize in ethnic skin care..." as if all people don't have ethnic heritage. I am pale and have very oily but sensative skin. At 30, I'm fighting acne and wrinkles--and my issues are individual to me. How can people still stereotype so much!?
