Berlin (dpa) * Carrots and tomatoes help keep wrinkles at bay as they increase the amounts of beta carotene and lycopine in the skin keeping it young, a recent study by Berlin's Charite hospital, published in the Neu-Isenburg-based Aerzte Zeitung, showed.
The team of researchers, led by Juergen Lademann studied 20 volunteers between the ages of 40 and 50. People with significantly higher vitamin concentrations in their skin had noticeably fewer wrinkles than people with lower vitamin concentrations.
