All Skin

The kind of environment we are in affects our appearance. Okay, maybe it's general knowledge that a place will have an effect on people's appearance but I can't seem to get over that fact. I mean Americans have a different skin type from the Koreans and they are different from the Filipinos, too. I can't help but notice how people of a certain descent moves to live in another country and when they come for a visit in their home country, they look different. You'd actually know they weren't from around there. And then we also have people living in the same country but have different kinds of appearances. There would be people who have dark, dirty skin I see in a lot of street people. There are also people who looks a certain look. And there are these people who look like they came from somewhere else because they seem to have the perfect look like the ones you'd see in movies. They have the perfect skin.

I don't know. Maybe it's because of social status; not only because of the genes. Like the kind of upbringing one had, the food one eats and the clothes one can afford have something to do with how one looks. Or maybe it's all about taking good care of one's health and having the right confidence. I don't know if what I'm writing makes sense but I seem to notice that some people have this look that I wish I could achieve. It's all in the skin really. As I'd like to put it: "Anybody with good skin can look good in anything."
