Posted by Manjeri Skincare Team on

Benefits: Sweet potatoes are rich in beta-carotene to brighten the skin, maple syrup adds antioxidants, and a touch of coconut milk nourishes from within with healthy fats.

Skin Concern: Dullness, dehydration

Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 30 minutes | Serves: 4

Ingredients:

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

  • 1/3 cup coconut milk

  • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
