Sweet Potato: A Secret Ingredient for a 'Miraculous' Beauty Mask

Beyond being a healthy food, sweet potato can also be used as an ingredient in a homemade beauty mask. It is rich in vitamin A (beta-carotene), which has antioxidant properties and helps fight the signs of aging. It also contains vitamin C, which boosts collagen production, making the skin more elastic and reducing wrinkles. To make the mask, you will need the following ingredients: 1 boiled and mashed sweet potato, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1 tablespoon of yogurt. The ingredients are mixed well until a smooth paste is formed, which is applied to a clean face and left on for 15-20 minutes. Then, rinse with lukewarm water.
