Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Fine lines and wrinkles are a natural byproduct of the aging process, so while you may not be able to completely erase them from your visage, there are things you can do to help minimize their appearance.

"A recent study found that tomato paste and olive oil boost pro-collagen, a molecule that gives the skin its structure and keeps it firm and youthful," says Sass. "Scientists think that lycopene, an antioxidant in tomatoes, is the key — it's at its highest when tomatoes have been cooked, and olive oil boosts its absorption from your digestive system into your bloodstream. I use sundried tomato pesto as a seasoning for steamed veggies, or a dip for raw veggies, and tomato paste and olive oil are my base for vegetarian chili."
