If you’re working on a nice tan this summer – eat some cherries...

If you’re spending a lot of time in the summer sun – your skin could be taking a beating...  

Here are some foods that help protect and even repair some of the damage: 

• Tart cherries are packed with melatonin which protects against UV rays - and antioxidants that help stimulate new skin-cell growth.

• Crimini mushrooms are packed with skin protecting selenium.

• Green tea fights inflammation in the skin and helps prevent wrinkles.

• Pomegranate seeds are also high in antioxidants and reduce UVB damage.

• Salmon and other fatty fish provide your damaged skin with some healing omega 3 fatty acids.
