Tomatoes

Tomatoes are loaded with lycopene, an antioxidant that neutralizes the free radicals produced from too much sun and minimizes any inflammatory response to UV damage by your body. Cooked tomatoes have higher levels of lycopene, and studies have shown that a few tablespoons of tomato paste a day provided "significant protection" from sun damage.
 

Guava

Have you heard the news? One serving of guava contains about five times the amount of vitamin C, a skin-healing antioxidant, as a medium orange. The vitamin C in guava acts like a natural sunscreen protecting your skin from within. Heat and cooking in water can destroy some of the vitamin C content, so raw foods are best.
 

Avocado

Avocados are one of the best sources of vitamin E, the most oft-associated vitamins with skincare, which has been shown to protect against UV damage and the wrinkle-causing breakdown of collagen. Add the avocado smoothie to your morning rotation for a healthier glow all summer long.
 

Salmon

Salmon is a great way to load your diet with omega-3 fatty acids. Especially because a study found that fish rich in omega-3s can help protect cells from free radical damage (like that caused by the sun) and may help prevent some types of skin cancer. Quite an impressive fish!
 

Green tea

Green tea is rich in EGCG, which plays an important role in reducing skin damage from UV light and protecting against the decrease of collagen. As you are well aware of the health benefits of green tea, let’s switch from coffee to great tea for a week and see how it goes!
