Recent medical studies conducted in the UK have shown that the perfect tan can be obtained not only by spending a lot of time under the sun.. It turns out that the skin can become more effectively tanned and this effect can last for a long time thanks to the inclusion of certain fruits and vegetables in the daily diet.. Experts say natural gifts like melon, kavun, apricots, peppers, carrots and spinach can make our skin glow..

The transition to a healthy diet can have a positive effect on the tone and color of women's skin in just a month.. According to Ian Stephen of the Bristol Institute, the secret to beautiful skin lies in chemical compounds known as carotenoids found in many plants.. Carotenoids are a category of 600 organic pigments that give plants their vibrant colors..

A group of specialists recommended that women stick to a fruit and vegetable diet, while another group of participants in the experiment got a tan in the usual way - from the sun.. Dr.

Stephen explained that those who participated in the experiment were dominated by either melanin or carotenoids, depending on the chosen tanning method.. To see the difference, the photos of the participants were judged by volunteers, mostly males..

The study found that the majority of men preferred golden skin tone, which is achieved through the use of fruits and vegetables, rather than dark tan from the sun.. It turned out that men tend to choose the results of a fruit diet as a sign of health and attractiveness of the skin..
