  • Carotenoids are beneficial for eye health as some of them are turned into vitamin A in the body.
  • Some carotenoids can help to reduce the inflammation related to arthritis.

Carotenoids for the skin

One of the most powerful carotenoids for the conversion of vitamin A is beta-carotene. This chemical, found in carrots, kale and sweet potato can help to lower sunburn. Sun damage is one of the worst accelerators of ageing skin so consuming this chemical can aid skin cell repair. This helps to promote a youthful-looking complexion.

Lycopene, which is the red pigment that gives tomatoes, peppers and carrots their colour is an antioxidant. This helps to deactivate free radicals – molecules that cause skin ageing. Like beta-carotene, lycopene also converts to vitamin A in the body which boosts the production of collagen to aid healthy, plump skin.

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
