Smooth way to a healthy glow

COULD a fruit smoothie make a person more attractive? This is what students from the University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus (UNMC) aim to discover.

Based on a study conducted by former UNMC Faculty of Science assistant professor`Dr Ian Stephen — which demonstrated a relationship between skin carotenoid colouration and improved facial appearance in a western population — this group of students are studying the effects of carotenoid-rich fruit drinks on skin and perceived attractiveness.
