For a natural face-lift

What you need: Vitamin E

Celeb fan: Jennifer Lopez

Eating oats can also help boost the production of baby skin cells, which keep your complexion firm and plump, acting just like a natural face-lift! They also work by stimulating the immune system.

Eat a bowl of porridge as a mid-morning snack. You could try topping it with a handful of fresh berries and seeds.

 

For healthy teeth and gums

What you need: Zinc

Find it in: Black and green tea

Celeb fan: Angelina Jolie

Zinc helps build strong bones, keeps our gums pink and healthy, and prevents gum disease.

For sparkling, bright eyes

What you need: Vitamin B12 and lutein

Find it in: Eggs

Celeb fan: Cheryl Cole

They are protein packed and contain lutein, an ingredient the body can’t make, but our eyes need it. Start the day with scrambled eggs tossed with cherry tomatoes, which contain the vitamins the body needs to absorb protein.

 

For less cellulite

What you need: Vitamin A

Find it in: Avocado

Celeb fan: Gwyneth Paltrow

This food is made up of good-for-you oils including oleic acid that acts as a natural moisturiser.

Try mixing up some guacamole by mashing together 1 ripe avocado, ½ small red onion, 1 small chilli,

1 tomato and black pepper and eat with sticks of raw pepper.

For stronger, healthy nails

What you need: Vitamin D

Find it in: Fish

Celeb fan Liz Hurley

Better known as the sunshine vitamin, oily fish like salmon and mackerel, also contain omega-3 fatty acids that keep the nail bed healthy and speed up growth. Vitamin D works with calcium to help nails grow long and stops them from splitting. Try to include three portions of oily fish in your diet each week.

For glossy locks

What you need: Selenium

Find it in: Bananas

Celeb fan: Katy Perry

A must for super-shiny, glossy-looking hair. You can find it in lots of foods, including cheese, chicken, brazil nuts and bananas.

For less wrinkles

Celeb fan: Penelope Cruz

One of nature’s best antioxidants, it’s the betacarotene and vitamin A that helps to prevent toxin damage. Make your own wrinkle-smoothing smoothie by mixing red berries, an orange and a tub of natural yoghurt.
