Ultraviolet rays, especially UVA, is the main factor that causes premature aging, because it can penetrate the skin more deeply and damage the skin cells that is not visible from behind the burning of your skin. What’s worse, the production of proteins that maintain the collagen-tightness, humidity, and skin elasticity begins to decrease when your new age in the 20s.

In a study published in European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics in 2008, showed that of 20 people surveyed, those with higher concentrations of lycopene appeared to have a softer skin. To get the same result, increase the intake of lycopene in fresh fruits and vegetables such as watermelons and carrots.

Tofu. Tofu and other soybean processing products such as edamame and soy milk, also helps protect collagen, because the material is rich in isoflavones. The trial results on mice, published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition said, the rats who consumed isoflavones and exposed to ultraviolet radiation turns to experience fewer wrinkles and smoother skin than mice exposed to ultraviolet light but have received no isoflavone intake. The researchers believe that isoflavones help prevent damage to the collagen in the skin.
