While they aren’t particularly precious or expensive, you can achieve a radiant, glowing skin tone simply by choosing and eating foods that are readily available around you.
The popular British magazine The Sun has introduced 19 inexpensive foods that will give you a more attractive skin tone than a tan.
The key is carotenoids. If you eat a nutritious diet consisting of carotenoid-rich foods, your skin will glow. Carotenoids are pigments and antioxidants commonly found in fruits and vegetables such as peppers, spinach, apricots and melons. It is mainly found in yellow or orange fruits and vegetables. It is also found in some animal products, including eggs and salmon. Green peppers, broccoli, carrots, guava, grapefruit, mango, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, tangerines, tomatoes and watermelon are also representative foods rich in carotenoids.
It is said that when you eat fruits and vegetables rich in carotenoids, these ingredients penetrate the epidermal layer of the skin through the sweat glands, creating healthy, red and glowing skin.
Three studies published between 2011 and 2015 asked people to rate whether their skin color was more attractive under certain conditions, compared to when they ate foods rich in carotenoids and when they were tanned by the sun. In three studies, an overwhelming percentage of people rated the healthy golden glow achieved by eating fruits and vegetables as better looking than a sunburn.

Researchers at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland monitored the diets of 35 students for six weeks and analyzed natural changes in their diet and skin color. As a result, people who improved their diet by consuming more fruits and vegetables had increased golden skin color, while those who reduced their intake had worse skin color.
Carotenoids not only make people more attractive, but are also beneficial to overall health. Through its powerful antioxidant effect, it absorbs harmful compounds generated by the stress of daily life, prevents cellular damage and strengthens the immune system. Furthermore, according to a large-scale study published in the international academic journal Aging in 2017, the consumption of antioxidants can slow down biological aging more than changing lifestyle.
Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber, which helps maintain intestinal health and prevent constipation or digestive problems. It can help reduce the risk of serious diseases such as heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, obesity and some cancers. It is also known to be beneficial for eye health.
