Theory

• Increased skin redness, yellowness, and lightness enhance the perception of health and attractiveness in male faces, particularly within the same ethnicity.
• Skin coloration, specifically homogeneity, plays a significant role in perceived age, health, and attractiveness. Homogeneous skin color is associated with younger, healthier, and more attractive male faces.
• Increased skin redness and yellowness are associated with a healthier appearance. This suggests that carotenoid-based skin color (influenced by diet) significantly affects attractiveness judgments.
• The homogeneity of skin color, driven by melanin and hemoglobin distribution, influences perceptions of age, attractiveness, and health. Homogeneous skin is perceived as more attractive and healthy.
