More Natural Anti-Wrinkle Treatments
To reduce wrinkles, there are other natural remedies with antioxidant properties that protect against wrinkles:
Selenium
In the form of L-Selenomethionine, selenium has protected against sun damage and delayed skin cancer in animal tests. But it is not known if such benefits apply to people.
Q10
A 1999 study found that topical use of antioxidant coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) improved the skin resistance to oxidative stress by UV radiation.
Tea
Green tea, black tea and ginger might give some protection against skin cancer and skin aging. One study suggested that topical use of green tea could protect skin from UV damage. However, while these products are for sale, do not yet have reliable regulation.

The Intake of Tomato Paste Helps Against Sunburn
Scientists believe that these beneficial effects are due to the presence in tomato of a powerful antioxidant known as lycopene. The intake of concentrated tomato paste, such as covering the pizza, can help prevent sunburn on the skin and premature aging, according to a British study.
Researchers from the University of Manchester asked a group of ten volunteers who ate the equivalent of five tablespoons of tomato paste and ten grams of olive oil for twelve weeks and an equivalent to just take the oil.
The scientists exposed volunteers in both groups at the beginning and the end of the experiment to ultraviolet radiation and found that the first group were 33 percent less likely to burn at the second exposure to sunlight. The effect of concentrated tomato paste was equivalent to 1.3 of protection factor cream for the skin, as the scientists estimated.
