Now, I will explain all the benefits of these foods for the skin one-by-one.
① Walnuts
A walnut is the nut of any tree of the genus Juglans, particularly the Persian or English walnut, Juglans regia. Technically a walnut is the seed of a drupe or drupaceous nut, and thus not a true botanical nut. It is used for food after being processed while green for pickled walnuts or after full ripening for its nutmeat. The walnut is nutrient-dense with protein and essential fatty acids.

Walnuts are very a good source of essential fatty acids which your body cannot make itself. Though walnuts have many characteristics which make them an excellent food for healthy skin but the presence of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Omega-6 fatty acids cause inflammation and omega-3 neutralize it and make the body more neutral which is the cause of healthy skin. Walnuts contain RDI for zinc which is necessary for wound healing and skin repairing. Walnuts also have vitamin C and selenium, antioxidants vitamin E, in addition to 4–5 grams of proteins per ounce.
In short, walnuts are a very good source of vitamin E, vitamin C, selenium, proteins, essential fats and zinc which are the required nutrients for your healthy skin.

② Sunflower Seeds
The sunflower seed is the fruit of the sunflower. There are three types of commonly used sunflower seeds: linoleic (most common), high oleic, and NuSun developed for sunflower oil. Each variety has its own unique levels of monounsaturated, saturated, and polyunsaturated fats.

Any kind of nuts and seeds are a very good source of nutrients which are really good for healthy skin and sunflower seeds are one of them. Sunflower seeds contain zinc, selenium and proteins. Sunflower seeds also contain Linoleic acid which helps your skin to stay moisturized, flexible and thick. Or in other words, it prevents dry and thin skin as a result of ageing. Sunflower seeds have a great amount of magnesium which is essential for our health and its deficiency can cause different health problems.

③ Fatty Fish
Fatty Fish or oily fish have oil in their tissues and in the belly cavity around the gut. Their fillets contain up to 30% oil, although this figure varies both within and between species. Examples include small forage fish, such as sardines, herring and anchovies, and other larger pelagic fish, such as salmon,trout, tuna and mackerel

Fish always has been a source of nutrients for human health in different ways. Fatty fish like salmon is a good source of nutrients for healthy skin. Fatty fish is also known as oily fish. It contains oil which helps in internal moisturization of your skin and prevents your skin from inflammation.
Fatty fish is also a great source of vitamin E, zinc and high-quality proteins. It also helps in the production of new cells and increases the skin health. Omega-3 fatty acids present in fatty fish helps to maintain thick and moisturized skin. The absence of omega-3 fatty acids can cause dry skin. Thus, fatty fish is a good food for healthy skin.

Sweet Potatoes are an excellent source of Beta-Carotene which is a natural source of sunblock. In other words, beta-carotene acts as a sunblock to a skin. Beta-Carotene is present in green vegetables but sweet potatoes are an excellent source of it. This natural sunblock helps to keep your skin healthy and prevents it from sun damage and proves to be a good food for healthy skin.

⑤ Tomatoes
The tomato is the edible, often red, fruit of the plant Solanum lycopersicum, commonly known as a tomato plant. The plant belongs to the nightshade family, which is called Solanaceae.

We often use tomatoes in our daily cooking. Tomatoes are essential in our daily life's cooking but do you know what benefits they have for your skin? Tomatoes are the great source of vitamin C and Lycopene. Lycopene prevents the skin against damage from the sun. It also prevents wrinkles on the face and helps the skin to stay healthy. The rumours about tomatoes are false and the lycopene present in it does not have any harmful effects. Thus, it is a healthy food for healthy skin.

⑥ Dark Chocolate
Dark chocolate (also known as black chocolate or plain chocolate) is a form of chocolate which is made from cocoa butter instead of milk-based butter like milk chocolate, and contains a higher percentage of cocoa. Government and industry standards of what products may be labeled "dark chocolate" vary by country and market.

Chocolate is all time favourite to the people of all the ages. Dark chocolate is a type of chocolate which is made up of only cocoa butter. Cocoa has impressive effects on human skin because it prevents the skin from sunburn. If there are wrinkles on anyone's skin then dark chocolate can be the solution to reduce those wrinkles. It also makes the skin thick and improves the hydration of the skin.
To those who do not eat chocolates, I think this would be the better reason to eat chocolates. But to those who love chocolates, this would be the best reason to eat more and more chocolates.

Green tea is a type of tea that is made from Camellia sinensis leaves that have not undergone the same withering and oxidation process used to make oolong and black tea. Green tea originated in China, but its production has spread to many countries in Asia.

Green tea has such components in it which protect your skin from skin damage and ageing and improves the health of your skin. It also helps in reducing redness due to sunburn and improves the moisture and thickness of your skin which is a very healthy thing.
