Although the obvious answer to your question would be that you should have a balanced diet, that would not necessarily be correct. It is true that you need to have a balanced diet, but if you are trying to eat healthy not just for your body but also for your skin, there are a few areas that you would need to focus on. The primary requirement in a balanced diet would be raw fruits and vegetables. You can have these either as salads or as small healthy snacks.
For healthy skin, it is necessary to have an adequate amount of Vitamin A daily. Yogurt is the best source of vitamin A as it also contains bacteria (probiotic) that promote intestinal health. Just as a poor diet and an unhealthy intestinal tract results in dull skin, a healthy intestinal tract results in glowing skin. Fruits like grapes, plums and strawberries have a very high antioxidant content. This helps your skin stay soft and supple. Omega 3 fatty acids (obtained from Fish and flax seed oil) are essential for healthy skin. Try to use olive oil for cooking as most of the other oils are processed and lose a lot of their nutritional value. White -flour items can cause your skin to become dull and unhealthy, you can use whole wheat products instead
