Dietary Photoprotection Foods
Dietary photoprotection foods add carotenoids and polyphenols that may support UV resilience—they supplement, never replace, SPF and shade.
Dietary photoprotection foods are produce rich in carotenoids and polyphenols—tomatoes, leafy greens, berries, green tea—that may modestly boost skin antioxidant capacity against UV. They never replace sunscreen, hats, or shade.
Regular intake over months matters more than a pre-beach smoothie.
Common questions
-
Can eating tomatoes replace sunscreen?
No—lycopene-rich foods may add marginal protection over time; broad-spectrum SPF, clothing, and timing still prevent burns and photoaging.
