Sweet Potatoes

Beta-carotene, the nutrient that gives sweet potatoes, carrots, and cantaloupe the orange coloring, is used by the body to develop vitamin A, which we already know creates sebum. Deficiencies in vitamin A may cause dandruff. Vitamin A is also a wonderful antioxidant that fights off various kinds of cancer and helps repair damage caused by UV rays. Sweet potatoes also contain a little vitamin E, which can soften your skin and hair.

One serving of sweet potatoes can give your more than 4 times your RDI of beta-carotene. Just remember to eat vitamin A in moderation!
