Four Foods and One Tip to Help Your Skin Look Younger

Posted on | June 20, 2010

No matter what age you are, wrinkles can still be prevented and skin can still be protected.

When you are exposed to the sun, UVA penetrates into your skin which promotes premature aging and damages skin cells even before you begin to burn.

Here are four foods and one tip to help your skin look younger:

- Eat strawberries for their vitamin C which helps collagen production. Red bell peppers, papaya, broccoli, and oranges are rich in vitamin C as well.

-Eat tomatoes for the carotenoid lycopene which helps keep your skin smooth.

-Eat tofu and other soy products for their isoflavones to preserve collagen.

-Eat tuna for the Omega-3 fat EPA to preserve collagen.

- Put on as much sunscreen as your dermatologist recommends, not what you think is an acceptable amount.
