Tanning? Certain Foods Help Your Skin Tone

Tanning

“If you’re the type who likes to spray tan or spend hours under the sun… here’s a better alternative. Switch up your diet to food that’s rich in carotenoids. You know what they say – you are what you eat.

Carotenoids are compounds which give your skin a natural glowing tan through regular intake. Some great sources include:

  • Butternut Squash
  • Cantaloupe Melon
  • Carrots
  • Dark Leafy Greens
  • Dried Apricots
  • Sweet Potato
  • Sweet Red Peppers

A study that came out in The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology showed that 86% of people found a carotenoid tan more attractive than a pale face. It also compared faces that had both carotenoid tan and sun tan versions – and more preferred the carotenoid type. So high-carotenoid foods aren’t just good for your health. They’re great for your skin.” [efn_note]Real Men, Real Style, May 30, 2022 – 10 Strange Ways To Be Attractive | Attracting Women Differently | Odd Things That Attract The Ladies[/efn_note]
