Eat These Foods to Get More Collagen in Your Diet

Tomato

Tomatoes are rich in the antioxidant lycopene, which has been shown to protect the skin from sun damage and prevent collagen breakdown (12). Some sources say lycopene also helps with collagen synthesis, although few reputable studies have confirmed this. Either way, tomatoes contain a variety of antioxidants (including vitamin C), which protect the skin at a cellular level, so it never hurts to include them in your diet.
