Color-correcting
your complexion just got a whole lot easier! We all know the benefits a
healthy diet can have on your mind and body, but now nutrition-rich
produce has been scientifically proven to boost your glow. According to a
new study by the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, women who upped
their fruit and vegetable intake for six weeks had a healthier skin
tone. The reason for the natural flush? Certain produce contains
pigments called carotenoids. “These red/yellow plant pigments are
distributed to the skin surface when we eat fruits and veggies," said
head researcher Ross Whitehead. Women who increased their produce showed
a rosy tint, while women who did not had paler undertones.
So if you are looking for an all-natural, less expensive alternative
to stocking up on pricey technicolored powers and creams, simply reach
for a second-helping of carrots, strawberries, peppers—the options are
endless! Guess it's true what they say: True beauty comes from
within—literally!
