There are many vegetables that benefit the skin, especially those rich in vitamin C and vitamin E. Recommended options include tomatoes, cucumbers, broccoli, green peppers, bitter melon, and nori—all excellent sources of vitamin C. Vitamin C not only helps enhance skin elasticity but also promotes collagen synthesis, resulting in firmer and smoother skin. Additionally, vegetables such as spinach, carrots, cabbage, lettuce, yam, and kale are rich in vitamin E, a nutrient hailed as the "natural protective shield for the skin." Vitamin E protects against free radical damage, slows skin aging, and helps fade dark spots and wrinkles. Increasing the intake of these vegetables in daily diet provides ample nutritional support for healthy skin.
