This fall, it is possible to fight against dull complexion caused by lack of sun. The secret? Eat and/or apply this seasonal food well known to all.
As the leaves fall from the trees, our faces gradually turn pale. The advantage? Savings on Halloween costumes. No joke, although our beauty is not impacted, it is difficult to find positive points in having a bad appearance. But we have good news: there is a vegetable with a super power, that of restoring shine to our pretty face. It also acts as an antioxidant, anti-aging, healing and is the ally of oily skin. The icing on the cake: it’s in season! So you can cook it now for a starter, dinner or even a cake. So, have you guessed? Maybe the following clues can help you. Its color is orange, rabbits love it and it seems that it makes them friendly. It is of course the carrot!
Let’s take a quick look at its composition. “This vegetable is composed of beta-carotene (vitamin A), a precursor to the synthesis of melanin (the pigment that allows you to tan and protects the skin from the sun’s UV rays)”informs Pascal Nourtier, dietitian-nutritionist. It also increases the production of elastin and collagen. The first is responsible for the elasticity of your skin, the other for the tone of your muscles. Result: skin aging slows down. Other vitamins are present in carrots such as vitamins B and E. They help keep your hair and skin healthy. Isn’t that wonderful? Perhaps there are people among you who don’t like this vegetable. Don’t feel left out, since there is an alternative: cosmetic products. In fact, many creams, oils or serums have already incorporated it into their formula. There are some at all prices! In other words, you have a choice.
In a meal or in a pot, the carrot is good for you. On the other hand, don’t forget to vary the pleasures by eating other vegetables that are just as good for your health. Beauty also requires a healthy and, above all, balanced diet.
