Fruit over sunbed : carotenoid skin coloration is found more attractive than melanin coloration [PDF]
, 2015 Skin coloration appears to play a pivotal part in facial attractiveness. Skin yellowness contributes to an attractive appearance and is influenced both by dietary carotenoids and by melanin.
