Lemon
What better way to boost your vitamin C intake than by including citrus fruits? Lemons are very beneficial for skin health. They can help eliminate dark spots, acne, minimal scarring, and more. They also help create a dewy appearance. You can easily add lemon to your diet by squeezing fresh lemon into water or tea daily.
Should you decide to squeeze extra lemon juice for lemon water over the next few days, remember to refrigerate it for a longer shelf life. You can keep it in a Mini Refrigerator if your kitchen can’t fit a full-sized fridge.

Tomatoes
Tomatoes are another delicious food for glowing skin. They feature vitamin C and carotenoids, which have been shown to help protect your skin from the sun. Carotenoids can also potentially help you avoid wrinkles. Tomatoes are excellent in salads, sauces, and seafood dishes.
