1. Vegetables
/filters:quality(70)/content/sm/m7/kidng89458e5274ff0004534640845_600x697.jpg)
Opt for vegetables with plenty of water content since water is amazing for unclogging pores and can reduce inflammation of pimples. A great example of this are cucumbers, which happen to do both! Additionally, stock up on your vitamin A through carrots and sweet potatoes as these are great for overall detox.
2. Herbs

Too much spice can actually make breakouts and acne worse, so it's best to leave these alone and use herbs instead! A few great examples are rosemary, mint and thyme because they can be added to almost any meal and still taste delicious.

Dark chocolate is full of antioxidants which is great from protecting your skin from radical damage and maintains the natural complexity. You can also go the extra mile and eat things that are chocolate coated (that's dark-chocolate coated only) such as raisons, peanuts and even strawberries!

Red grapes can actually be used to treat and reduce inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, due to their natural chemicals and antioxidants! Additionally, they can help control the visible side effects that allergic reactions cause the skin.

Not all dairy type cause breakouts, and yoghurt is definitely one of them! The probiotics that yoghurt contains actually helps to prevent bad bacteria from forming on your body. Acne and breakouts would occur a lot quicker without this advantage.
