Water. Yes it's so important and I know you already drink it but do you drink enough? A woman should be drinking 3 litres of pure water every day. And for every half an hour you exercise, you should drink a further 500ml.I would recommend buying a 1.5 liter bottle and then refilling it every day at the office to make sure you drink enough.Back up: green tea as it's full of antioxidants.

Fish contains Zinc which is key for keeping your skin soft and supple, and for repairing damaged skin. It is said to protect it against UV rays and can also help acne sufferers as it reduces the amount of natural oil produced in the skin.Back up: red meat (Woohoo!)

As it's summer the next skin treat is very appropriate - strawberries. They like many other berries are a good source of vitamin C which aids in the production of collagen for keeping the skin firm It is also said to help skin repair itself and its antioxidant properties slow the rate of fine lines and wrinkles!Back up: oranges.

Avocado is rich in Vitamin E which is another good antioxidant and therefore it helps protect you against the elements that damage collagen causing wrinkles and skin dryness. I know Avocado isn't many people's favorite food so a good back up would be hazelnuts - think Nutella!!

Tomatoes are also good for your skin. They contain selenium which can help to protect against skin cancer, sun damage and age spots. An alternative to tomatoes would be brazil nuts.So, where do you find these things cheaply?
