Eat tomatoes and improve your skin

Study underlines how lycopene can lead to smoother skin

I adore garden fresh tomatoes and dream all winter about them. I love all kinds, especially those unusual heirloom type. My favorite salad: chopped tomatoes, EVOO, fresh basil, a pinch of salt, and a sprinkle of balsamic vinegar. Yum.

Research shows that eating foods rich in lycopene (like tomatoes) will make your skin smoother (see link to article). So this summer, hit your local farmers market, indulge in tomatoes of all types and make yourself beautiful!
