I was told that eating tomatoes is good for the skin, but didn't know the details of how it works. I also use a sunblock made of tomato from Skin Food. I wonder if the product was developed with this knowledge in mind or just pure coincidence of using tomato. <font color="#990033"><strong>City Girl</strong>: My understanding is that the sun protection is effective only if you consume the fruit. I'm not certain it has the same effect when used topically on the skin. I believe your sunblock should still have active sun protection ingredients eg. zinc oxide or titanium dioxide if it's a physical sunblock.</font> Thanks for the tip.
