Professor Perrett will discuss how what we eat (not just how many calories we consume) and our lifestyle affects skin colour and appearance.  Basically fruit and vegetable pigments that we ingest colour our skin making it look healthy, and at the same time can aid our immune system and protect against the stresses of ageing.  Likewise even a modest amount of exercise (1 hour of vigorous exercise) enhances blood flow in the skin and improves our health and looks.
