    White, tender and transparent beautiful skin is the pursuit of beauty lovers.


    Photosensitive foods are those that tend to cause solar dermatitis


    The main reason is that some plants contain a class of photosensitizing substances called furanocoumarins, which are activated by long-wave ultraviolet rays to produce phototoxic reactions, resulting in vegetative solar dermatitis, skin erythema, blisters, epidermal necrosis, and Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation


    The distribution of furanocoumarins in plants was uneven, with more accumulation in leaves and epidermis, but less in fruits and roots
