Green tea is a great source of flavonoids, a type of phytochemical that
gives plants their bright color. These flavonoids, called catechins,
appear to help block UV penetration, promoting DNA repair and helping to
reduce inflammation. For an even more potent source of these beneficial
compounds, try Matcha. Matcha is a form of green tea where the leaves
are actually consumed vs. being steeped and then discarded before
drinking.
Papaya
These tropical fruits are bursting with antioxidant Vitamin C. Over 200% of the recommended daily intake in each one! Vitamin C plays a role in collagen production and protects the skin from the aging process.

Salmon
Salmon is best known for its high Omega-3 content. These fatty acids, appear to help protect against UV radiation and sunburn and may also help reduce wrinkling in sun-exposed skin. Don’t forget to lather up though, food does not replace the need for the gold standard sunscreen!

Water
Ok, this isn’t exactly a food but staying hydrated is key for healthy, smooth, supple skin. Add a squeeze of lemon or orange for extra flavor and a Vitamin C boost.
