It's the weather. You're not directly exposed to the hot sun.

Easy access to protein, and I believe more consumption of liquids - water, tea, coffee, juices.

No habbit of regularly eating our delicious Nigerian dishes, starters and snacks. These dishes are obviously sumptuous but many are prepared in a way that are ultimately not healthy for us.

No monthly malaria or other illnesses like typhoid that ravages the body

Also, it's more likely that someone living abroad will be watching their diet and have a gym or exercise regime.

However, someone in Nigeria who is eating and living well has this glow to their skin that you will find hard to achieve abroad
You see that liquid consumption and gym membership, comot am. Nobody abroad does that. You can go one week and you never drink water in Europe.
Again, na who get time dey go gym.

No be say abroad people get clean skin ohh. The reason is that there is less or no air pollution from vehicle and industry smokes. This make them have cleaner air over there, so that when they take picture, it appears very clean.

1.Don't joke with the power of winter... Here the sun is just to tan the skin... So imagine an overstressed person here still receiving daily tanning from our hot sun

2.Good life and less carbohydrates like most of food. Na only power and strong body we dey gather.

3.Good living and peace of mind

4. Less air combustion and laslas good cleaner water

Everything is well organized abroad. In nigeria, even with your big money, you may not get access to nutritional food, because of many obstacles here and there!
You worry about fuelling your gen
This alone is a headache

Good food and nothing else.

Food is the cheapest thing anyone can ever worry about in developed countries( I mean high quality protein filled foods).
Re: Why Does Abroad Make people Look Fresh? by 2mch(m): 3:40pm On Apr 08, 2025
They drink more water and the cool weather adds to it too. Our sun is harsh on the skin especially in the afternoon.

Well, those people go resemble person wey never commot from Nigeria before, so I believe they will not be looking like abroad people to the OP, and hence was not referring to people like them. The good thing about people like that though is that they will not be targets for kidnapping etc. Dem fit jump molue, no problem. There is abroad people and there is ABROAD PEOPLE grin
Re: Why Does Abroad Make people Look Fresh? by abbey621(m): 3:41pm On Apr 08, 2025
If people took photos of themselves naturally, you would realize all that freshness na bobo...........During the height of winter, tell the average person to take photos of their legs and feet, you go see ashy whiteness everywhere, some dey even get flakes for head.

During hot summers, you go see sweat with rashes and even stinky armpits......The true freshness is FATNESS......Majority of people(80%) gain 20 pounds or more within 2 to 3 years abroad, it don't matter if you work like jackhammer, that weight gain will come, if that is what you call freshness then congratulations grin grin grin

I dont take vitamin D supplements. There's enough sunlight for that
Kobicove:
It's mainly due to reduced effect of the sun, however, you will still need to make up for reduced exposure to sunlight by taking vitamin D supplements undecided

You have no idea how polluted Lagos air is.

Just take a 30-minute stroll, even in Lekki, wipe your face with a wet wipe and see how dirty the wipe becomes.

Many Nigerians are dying from the airborne pollution in Lagos.

Re: Why Does Abroad Make people Look Fresh? by voortrekker966: 3:49pm On Apr 08, 2025
All peoples living around and close to the earth's equator will look rough and oily. Even pictures taken around these areas will look different. As you move away from the equatorial belt the atmosphere becomes less strong and the heat decreases.

The intense heat we experience, which in turn affects our appearances, is as a result of the atmosphere being stronger around the equatorial belt due to gravity. West Africa, Central Africa, most of Eastern Africa, Northern Brazil, the Pacific Islands and most of Central America are in this equatorial belt. Check it out. Most of the peoples of these areas look oily and rough.

Even black South Africans look different from us because they live very far from the equatorial belt.

But there's another reason however; our shameless and heartless politicians.

Na only peace of mind fit make anyone look fresh for Obodo Oyinbo. Forget the food, weather and stress free wey una dey talk. Na only peace of mind. The guy wey e dey talk sef no go work there, na so so sleep e go dey sleep for there. Thinking about bills alone go scatter some people even when the weather dey chill you.

California and Nevada are very hot but you begins to look fresh when you step in there from africa
They are hot but that does not necessarily mean that they are directly under the sun like most African countries that are on the equator

During winter you look fresher your skin will be glowing even without cream. So weather affects the skin but not change in color.

Re: Why Does Abroad Make people Look Fresh? by Tendd:
The weather makes people lighter in skin colour but that does not equate to being fresh.Rather they are generally unhealthy and most die prematurely.

1. You don't have to worry about waking up 4am to start your day and still waste 2 hours in traffic to get to work.
2. You don't have to run after danfo or keke for transportation.
3.You choose your own work hours depending on the type of work you do.
4. You don't have to pull generator rope to provide yourself electricity.
5. Peace of mind is a major determinant of one's outlook.
At number 1, have you been to New York?
