According to the book, 'Healing Foods' by DK Publishing House, "Eating fresh, young green vegetables regularly is a good way to cleanse the body and keep the complexion clear." A bowlful of cooked snow peas, spinach, asparagus, and wild garlic along with olive oil can help in giving your skin that much-needed radiance.
