Greetings to all mylotters, I am pretty sure that tomato is good to my skin. Tomato has a cooling and astringent properties, though I don't eat tomato often but majority says that tomato helps reducing skin problem like pimples or acne. In other words, by eating
tomatoes you're enhancing your skin's ability. Tomato is not only good to your skin it is also good to your heart.

Not only tomato that is good for your skin. There are still other fruits make your skin healthy. They are bananas, aloe vera, and avocado. All these three can be eaten. The more you eat banana, the more you look younger. Banana is also good to strengthen your heart and make your blood preasure low.

There is a magical component in tomatoes that research is beginning to show could protect our skin from UV (Ultra Violet) damage from sunburn. It's called lycopene and it is a very effective antioxidant.
About 85% of lycopene in the western diet is obtained only from tomatoes and the best place to find it is in tomato paste.
As a defence against UV rays, the body tans when exposed to moderate levels of radiation. This helps to block UV penetration and prevent damage to the vulnerable skin tissues deeper down.
This doesnot mean that you should stop using sun block but it's good to know that simply by increasing tomatoes in your diet you can help protect your skin from the daily sun damage which happens without us even realising.
