Vitamin c and e combination acts as a sunscreen

Regular intake of vitamins E and C may protect against sunburn, researchers have discovered.

They found that a daily regimen of 2 g of vitamin C and 1000 IUs of vitamin E reduces sunburn reaction in humans.

Interestingly, neither supplement on its own gave any protection against UV radiation, so the shielding effect only works when they are taken in combination (Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1998; 38: 45-8).
