Hi again
A diet rich in vitamins especially vitamin-C and vitamin-A, anti oxidants and healthy fat would be good for general health of skin.
One the most important components of a healthy skin diet is vitamin-A. Low fat dairy products, cod liver, vegetables such as carrots are good source of vitamin-A. Citrus fruits including orange are very rich with vitamin-C and are especially important for skin healing and exfoliation refoliation cycle
You have to include avocados, berries, bell peppers and green tea.
Most importantly mental health will definitely reflect on your skin and thus avoid unwanted stress and anxiety.
Hope I have answered your query.
Thanks
