Yes, you can get a great tan from eating carrots! Let’s face it, there’s nothing better than achieving that perfect summer glow.
Okay, so we may have made up the term “super beauty food,” but when we started reading about the amazing ways that carrots can improve your complexion we got a little excited.
Foods such as carrots, contain high amounts of beta carotene — a strongly colored red-orange pigment that is converted by the human body into vitamin A. Vitamin A is critical for healthy skin, nails, and immune health.
THE SECRETS OF CARROTS
Sun Protection:
Beta-carotene, found in carrots, is a skin-friendly nutrient that is converted to vitamin A inside the body. It helps in repairing the skin tissues and provides protection against the sun’s harsh rays. The antioxidants and carotenoids protect and condition the skin to increase its immunity against the sun and heal sunburns. In fact, the consumption of carrot juice in summer acts as a natural sun block.
