Avocado
The right kind of fat will help your skin glow and feel hydrated. Avocados are bursting with healthy fat acids. They’re not only tasty as guacamole, but perfect for a face mask. For a refreshed look, mash together ½ an avocado with 1 tbsp of raw honey and a dash of hot water. Smooth the mixture over your face and let it sit for 10 minutes before rinsing.
Cherries
Stone fruits like cherries are an invaluable source of Vitamin C and Potassium. These nutrients are vital to maintaining healthy hydrated skin and giving you that balmy summer glow.
Green Juice
The right green juice is packed with minerals, chlorophyll, antioxidants, and vitamins. When juiced, the vitamins from fruits and vegetables are allowed to absorb more quickly into the bloodstream and cells.  If juicing isn’t your thing, just add a handful of spinach or other assorted greens to a smoothie.
Cucumber
Staying hydrated is the number one rule for maintaining glowing skin this summer. Cucumbers are the perfect remedy to cool the body and keep it hydrated.
Tomatoes
Do you want to shield your skin against lines, dryness, and dark spots? Tomatoes are an excellent source of antioxidant lycopene, which aids in protecting your skin from environmental pollutants and sun damage.
Squash
Summer squash provides high doses of manganese, an important mineral that helps protect against sun damage. It also facilitates the production of collagen while enhancing skin elasticity.
Coconut oil
When connective tissue is damaged, wrinkles often result. Coconut oil acts as a hydrator and rebuilder of connective tissues. It is wonderfully versatile and can be used to cook up your favorite vegetable stir fry, or rubbed on the skin to hinder wrinkle formation.
