I would say that the best food would be avocados which is 60% fat. Healthy fats lubricate your skin, brain and arteries. Flaxseeds are a good source of the omega-3 fats that are good for all the above also. But a better source of this is chia seeds. You can digest the whole seed whereas if you swallow the itty, bitty flaxseed whole, you cannot digest it.
Eat more healthy food and less unhealthy foods that clog the pores like junk food, food with trans fats like in fast food restaurants, dairy and meats. Eat more foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds and get plenty of sunlight. Do not put chemicals on your skin like sunblock. For soap use Dr Bronner's soap sold in health food stores. Get the one with tee tree oil in it. The other ingredients are like olive oil, coconut, hemp and jojoba oils (all fats in foods) and citric oil (from fruits).
Here is a question for you. Which is more nutritious? Large potatoes, large apples and large peaches or the small potatoes, small apples and small peaches. Pound for pound, the latter is more nutritious. That is because the smaller ones have a higher ratio of skin and under skin to the rest of the fruit. Potatoes and fruits have more of the nutrition in the skin or right under the skin than the center of the fruit.
