1. Mixed nuts. Selenium is good for the skin, so Women's Health says to eat mixed nuts as a snack.
2. Bananas. To give nourishment to the skin, Stylcraze makes a banana face mask that is high in vitamins A, B, C and E. Mash 1 banana and add 2 teaspoons of milk. Mix it well and apply it to your face. Let it sit for 15 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water. Do this once a week.
3. Almond oil. Almond oil is highly hydrating, so NDTV FOOD says to rub some of the oil right into your skin. You can also make a paste from 10 crushed almonds mixed with a little milk. Use this as an exfoliate and wash with the paste. Rinse your face with milk and then water.
4. Avocado. A great source of vitamin E, avocados can be used to make a mask. Women's Health combines 2 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons avocado, 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 mashed mango. Put the mask on for 15 minutes before wiping it off with a warm, damp cloth.
5. Orange peel. Oranges are known for being a good source of vitamin C. Stylecraze makes a face mask from grinding a few pieces of orange peel with 2 teaspoons rose water. Leave the mask on for 15 minutes, and then rinse it off with warm water.
6. Figs. NDTV FOOD says to make a face wash from 2 figs and some milk. Rub this into your skin for 2 minutes and then rinse it off.
7. Oatmeal. Oatmeal is good for balancing out oily skin. Women's Health makes an oatmeal mask from 1/4 cup cooked, unflavored oatmeal; 1/4 teaspoon matcha powder; 1/2 teaspoon honey and the juice of 1 lemon. Apply this to clean, dry skin and let it sit for 10 minutes before rinsing it off.

8. Coffee. Exfoliating dead skin cells off your face is important to keeping pores unclogged and helping your face shine. Dr. Axe makes a coffee scrub from 2 tablespoons coconut oil, 2 teaspoons honey, 4 tablespoon ground coffee, 8 drops carrot seed oil and 6 drops tea tree oil.
From the both the inside and the outside, you can help your skin be the best it can possibly be.
