Answers:
Skin ages because it gets dehydrated and loses elastin!. Without hydration it becomes wrinkly and without elastin it becomes flacid and saggy!.

Black skin has more melanin and oil which means it has greater protection from the sun, and sun damage causes skin to dehydrate!. So black skin stays hydrated for longer!. However, they still lose elastin, so when black skin ages, the skin tends to sag but not wrinkle!. White skin tends to do both!.

Another simple fact is that dark colours reflect more light and look shinier!. This is why they almost always use brown or black hair in adds advertising hair products!. Black / brunette hair looks shinier than blond, as dark skin looks shinier that pale skin!. So this can result in black skin looking oilier than it really is!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think your question could be viewed as racist!. When you say why are black people so oily it is a generalization as there are also some white people who have very oily skin!.

I think at times it is down to individual hygiene!. For instance some black people used to use vaseline and oil based creams to cream their body thus giving the skin a shiny look!. That is my take on the matter!. Other than that black people have different pigmentation called melanin which protects from the suns rays - giving black skin more elasticity!. This melanin is why black skin does not age as quickly as white skin!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

They have strong skin and that is very true they don't age quickly!. They do not look older since their skin is mucch more managable in the sun than white skin, brown skin, or yellow skin!. They have that protective skin, black ppl very rarely get cancer b/c of the protection they have!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
