If you are looking to add more moisture to your skin, or want to get rid of blotchiness or blemishes, you will have to make sure that you are eating foods that contain vitamin C and vitamin E. Citrus fruits are good for your skin, and include fruits like oranges, grapefruits, and limes. You can find vitamin E in green and leafy vegetables and as well as in certain lean meats, nuts, and beans. Avocado It's seemingly unassuming - but this scaly skinned, green-fleshed fruit is loaded with loads of nutritional goodies to keep your skin looking great, including vitamin E and 'good' (yep, they're not all bad for you) monounsaturated fats. Again these fats keep your complexion nourished, so they're a must-eat if you suffer from dry skin. Mix avocado into salads or transform it in a guacamole with sour cream and fresh chilli. Berries They taste like sweets, but unlike pick 'n' mix, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries and blueberries are full of goodness for your skin and super-charged with the antioxidants vitamins C and E. Over and above any other nutrient vitamin C is the great skin restorer; it helps produce a 'scaffolding' tissue called collagen, which is vital for keeping the complexion plump and smooth. Best of all, berries are versatile and delicious so it's no effort to add them into your diet; eat them as a dessert, snack or on breakfast cereals. Mango Beta-carotene is the nutrient that's supposed to help you see in the dark, and it's crucial for your skin. It also gives mango, and other fruits and veg like carrots, sweet potatoes and apricots, its distinctive orange colour. It's converted by your body into vitamin A and is so important that it's often prescribed as a topical treatment (one that's applied directly on to the skin) for acne. Replace your regular baked potato with a sweet potato or try a thick, wholesome carrot and coriander soup. Got a sweet tooth? Whizz up a ripe mango with orange juice or plain yogurt for a healthy breakfast smoothie. ORANGES, LEMONS, LIMES, GRAPEFRUIT Actually, oranges are the top citrus C source but you can only eat so many, right? For variety, make lemonade, squeeze limes on melon, add grapefruit to salad, and instead of drinking soda, fizz up OJ with sparkling water. It all adds up. What they do: Keep skin’s vitamin C levels high. While C’s a nifty antioxidant, that’s not the key reason it’s here. It helps keeps collagen -- the supportive protein fibers that stop skin from sagging -- strong and resilient. (Flimsy collagen means lines and wrinkles.) Since collagen breakdown really picks up in your mid-30s, eat citrus early and often to head off aging. I do.

I do not know the answer to your question but I found this facial in a book on health years ago, peal and core an apple put it in a blender add a little honey. Put the mixture on your face for about a half an hour. It will get tight, gently rince it off and your face will really glow for a couple of days. If your going out for a special occasion you will receive complements.
