There are more reasons to eat fruits and veggies than just your health.

Your Vanity!

Thehe carotenoids in produce, the compounds that give plants their pigmentation, are the very ingredient that will also give you that healthy glow.

During the six-week study, participants filled out three dietary questionnaires to gauge what they ate and how their consumption changed, while researchers recorded their skin coloring. In a second part of the study, 24 observers were shown pictures of four Caucasian faces whose coloring was modified to correspond to varying levels of fruit and veggie intake. The observers were asked to rate the faces based on perceived health and attractiveness, with the goal being to figure out how many servings of produce a day was associated with a noticeable bump in beauty.

Although the actual color change was subtle, the overall appearance and quality of skin was enhanced, noticeably.

Enjoy fruits and vegetables with the skins as they contain the most nutrients.

Oily skin is more prone to breakouts.

Black heads and pimples are formed by pores clogged with oil.

That’s why it is so important to wash your face everyday especially before going to bed.

Inflammatory acne typically results from a natural progression of the acne infection. Picking at or touching the blackhead can also cause the pustule, or pimple, to form.
To prevent both blackhead and pimple outbreaks, keep your skin clean by washing your face night and day. Use a clean washcloth and wipe your face gently. Keep your hands away from your face. Refrain from touching or popping pimples. Use oil-free and noncomedogenic makeup
