As the saying goes ”You are what you eat”,  and this is especially true in the case of the skin. Certain food, fruits, vegetable and nuts intake help to brighten up dull skin complexion and appearance of spots. These foods include;

1. Eggs

Daily eating eggs is definitely a good thing. They contain amino acids and the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, which not only protect skin from harmful UV rays but also have the ability to produce new skin cells.

2. Walnuts

Truly, walnuts contain essential fatty acids that make up a huge part of our cell membranes. These membranes are what keep our skin feeling supple, moist and plump.

3. Tomatoes

Keep your skin feeling tight and bright just by eating this red fruit. It produces collagen in the skin which will help to give you a natural-looking glow.

4. Lemons

Lemons  are rich in ascorbic acid – a natural antioxidant. Eating them can stop free radicals from developing. They prevent nasty things that are responsible for aging skin and skin damage. Just squeeze a lemon into some water and away you go.

5. Pineapples

This tropical delight is one of the favourite fruits around. Aside from being high in vitamin C, pineapples also contain enzymes that help to reduce age spots, fine lines and leave your skin feeling supple. You can even rub it directly onto your skin for the same effect.

6. Strawberries

Besides, strawberries are the ultimate nutrient-rich superfood. A punnet contains more vitamin C than an orange and it’s this reason they’re like liquid gold for your skin. Vitamin C is crucial for collagen production which improves skin’s elasticity and suppleness, keeping you looking young and fresh.
