Green tea and colourful fruits & veggies are more than tasty—they’re sun warriors! 💚 Did you know tomatoes can boost your skin's natural protection? 🍅 Lycopene, found in tomatoes, has been shown to reduce sun-induced redness by up to 40%! Another powerful carotenoid, astaxanthin—found in plants and algae—has been studied for its protective actions and antioxidant power. 🌱

Good nutrition can strengthen the protective benefits of your sunscreen, so let’s give our skin a boost from the inside this summer! The polyphenols in green tea reduce sun damage, while carotenoids, found in foods like mangoes, papayas, and leafy greens, improve skin’s sun resilience. 🌞
