"After you consume celery, dill, figs, fennel, lime, parsley or grapefruit, take steps to shield your skin from the sun as these foods have been shown to increase your skin’s sunburn risk."
SALMON
"Salmon is one of these superfoods! This delicious fish contains astaxanthin (a carotenoid that accounts for the pink color in certain plants and animals), which has been shown to reduce inflammation from sunburns and also block cellular damage from UV rays."
"A diet rich in omega-3s from fish oil can help make sunburn less severe and may help prevent the development of skin cancer, according to research. Salmon, sardines, herring and trout are all excellent sources of omega-3s."
