8 Science Approved Ways To Make Yourself More Attractive

8. Carotenoids: Better Than A Tan

If you want an attractive healthy glow, then ditch the fake tan and load up on your fruits and veg, so say the scientists. Studies have found that the relative yellowness of caucasian skin increases your levels of attractiveness.

There are two ways you can get this colouring, by increasing melanin levels (tanning) or by upping your intake of carotenoids. Whilst both of these methods will certainly help, researchers have found that carotenoid colouration almost always wins out over melanin. So where do you get these magical carotenoids?

Pretty much any fruit or veg with yellow and red colouring will do, plus dark leafy greens such as spinach (don't worry, they won't turn you green, the yellow colour is just masked by the green chlorophyll).

It's thought that you probably find the "Sunny D glow" attractive because it is an indicator of good health, so stock up on those veggies.
