Not only do tomatoes taste great but they also keep the skin healthy. It is necessary to consume tomatoes as they have lycopene, which is an antioxidant and hence works as a sunscreen from within.
These antioxidants make tomato an anti-aging product as they help in fighting cellular damage and reddening of skin.
It is recommended to have at least 16 milligrams of lycopene per day as they reduce the number of free radicals in the body and also help to retain the moisture in people who are used to sitting in air-conditioned environs.
You don’t need to spend your hard-earned money on expensive cosmetic treatments
