6. Sweet Potatoes
Beta carotene is a type of carotenoid antioxidant that can actually protect your skin from sun damage, and sweet potatoes are a particularly rich source. You really cannot do without sunscreen if you are outdoors for a long time. However, a diet rich in beta-carotene increases the amount of time you can spend in the sun without burning yourself.
It is important to avoid sunburn, not only because it increases the risk of skin cancer, but also because it causes cell death. This leads to dry and wrinkled skin. If you need another reason to eat your sweet potatoes, this beta carotene can give your skin a warm, brownish tone without the sun’s rays.
