According to a study published in the *Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology*, observers found a carotenoid-induced skin coloration, from eating fruits and vegetables, more attractive than a melanin-based tan. So, does eating carrots give you a glow? The vibrant answer lies in the carotenoids within them.

Scientific studies show that increased consumption of fruits and vegetables can lead to measurable changes in skin coloration, specifically an increase in yellowness and redness, which some find more attractive. This evidence proves that food can change skin tone, but the effect is a temporary hue adjustment rather than a permanent alteration of your fundamental, melanin-based skin color.
