Berries
"These are high in vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant known to counteract the effects of sun damage. Strawberries contain 163 percent of the daily value per cup. Blackberries contain anthocyanin, which helps protect our skin from fine lines and dryness. And blueberries are rich in fiber and vitamin A making for a healthy, glowing snack." -Dr. Alexis Parcells, board certified plastic surgeon and founder of SUNNIE

Zucchini
"This vegetable is high in manganese, a mineral that helps fight skin damage and produce collagen, which increases skin elasticity and helps fight off rashes from the sun and extreme heat. What's more, it's high in vitamin A derivatives (they contain retinal) that are related to retinol and can help slow the aging process." -Dr. Alexis Parcells

Tomatoes
"Tomatoes are rich in lycopene and beta-carotene, which help protect the skin from sun damage as well as air pollution that contributes to dark spots, lines, dryness and skin roughness. One cup delivers almost half of the daily value." -Dr. Alexis Parcells
