How Chai Sweet Potato Soup helps dry skin

• Sweet potatoes are super high in vitamin A which strengthens and protects the skin.
• Sweet potatoes are also high in vitamin C which smooths out wrinkles by boosting collagen production.
• Onions are high in sulphur containing compounds that help keep the skin smooth and youthful.
• Soup is also very hydrating, and a common cause for dry skin is dehydration.

Chai Sweet Potato Soup is full of herbs and spices like garlic, cinnamon, cloves and ginger. I cover the health benefits of all of these herbs in my new FREE eBook Healing Herbs and Spices.
