• "They’re not meant to replace your sunscreen, but they act as extra insurance for when it wears off or you forget to reapply," says Wu.
•  "Plus, after you go inside, there’s still damage that’s occurring in your skin cells – and tomatoes help reduce that." University of Manchester researchers discovered that consuming 20 grams (about 1¼ tablespoons) of paste or sauce a day was enough to reduce the risk of sunburn by up to 33 per cent.
