For younger looking skin, skip the high-priced wrinkle creams and invest in a 50-cent can of this: tomato paste.
Eating a little tomato paste every day not only may help your wallet, but a new study suggests that it may give you deep-down 24/7 protection against wrinkles and skin cancer, too.

The volunteers also sat under a sun lamp at the beginning, middle, and end of the study -- just long enough to lightly sunburn their shoulders. But by week 10, the tomato-paste group showed 40 percent less sun damage than the olive-oil eaters did. (Here are a few more foods that offer added sun protection.)
