Something New Under the Sun: Lutein's Role in Skin Health
American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine, 09/15/09

Evans JA et al. – There is accumulating evidence that lutein may play a role in skin health. Its presence in human skin along with its antioxidant and anti–inflammatory activity provide a rationale for a role in preventing ultraviolet–induced damage to skin. Epidemiological studies support a role for diets high in lutein and decreased risk of wrinkling and cancer. Recent intervention studies have shown lutein to prevent ultraviolet–induced carcinogenesis in animals and to improve skin physiology parameters in humans, including antioxidant protection from ultraviolet light irradiation. In this review, the authors explore the rationale and plausibility of a role for lutein in skin health.
