Tomatoes are natural sunscreen

Tomatoes are good for our health. They contain lycopene that helps against cancer, but, I didn't hear about the tomato ability to protect sun burns. Maybe there are some more materials like the red pigment that accumulates on our skin and absorbs the sun light ? I know the carrot pigment accumulates on our skin if we eat a lot of carrot, but, the body doesn't need it. Maybe some of the sunlight gets on the pigment instead of getting on the skin cells. The best thing to do is to stay away from the sun light. It has a lot of radiation.
