Besides the fact that this vegetable can make our stomach happy, potatoes can also do wonders for our skin. Starch and sugar, key ingredients in potatoes, work in tandem to remove dead skin cells and promote new growth.

Vitamin B6, vitamin C, potassium, zinc and phosphorus - minerals that stimulate the production of collagen by skin cells - are also found in this root vegetable.
