Soften elbows with sweet potato

The orange spud is packed with vitamins that penetrate the parched patches of elbow skin to hydrate from deep within, says Wilson. Combining it with coconut oil (its lauric acid locks water into skin’s surface) and sugar (its granules polish off dead flakes) softens skin instantly! ■ TRY IT!
