Abstract in brief
Carotenoids, found in fruits, vegetables, and marine products, are highlighted for their potential health benefits and protective role in the skin against environmental stressors like UV radiation, pollution, and smoking.
Carotenoids accumulate in the skin's epidermis, acting as a barrier that may mitigate oxidative stress and prevent premature aging and skin cancer.
Studies have shown that a diet rich in carotenoids can enhance skin photoprotection, improve skin health (e.g., hydration and elasticity), and aid in treating certain skin conditions related to light sensitivity.
Diet plays another huge role, as carotenoids and other phytochemicals have been shown to deposit in skin tissue and protect against UV damage by both directly blocking UV radiation and by functioning as antioxidants. 7/n
