Berries

Berries are another great food to add to your diet if you want to improve your overall skin tone and get rid of dark spots.

 

According to Dermstore, "Blueberries, blackberries and strawberries are high in vitamin C, vitamin K, folic acid and tannins. That blend of immune-boosting ingredients encourages collagen production and limits inflammation, which means better cell turnover and brighter skin."

Sweet Potatoes

According to Healthline, sweet potatoes are another food you should add to your diet if you want to improve your complexion.

 

"After eating sweet potatoes, your body will convert beta-carotene into vitamin A. This vitamin has properties that will act as a skin barrier against discoloration, inflammation, and clogged pores often brought on by free radicals," Healthline explains.

Salmon is a powerful superfood that has tons of health benefits, and can also be great for your skin.

 

"Omega-3s protect your skin against sun damage, reducing your risk for developing skin cancer and brown spots brought on by prolonged periods of sun exposure," Healthline explains.

Tomatoes

Tomatoes are another important food that can help you achieve healthy skin.

 

Dermstore explains, "They deliver a healthy dose of vitamin A, which is a crucial nutrient required for producing healthy new skin cells to replace old or damaged ones. Tomatoes also contain high levels of vitamin C, which fights off free radicals and encourages higher collagen production; meaning skin heals more efficiently and keeps age spots at bay."
