How to use Strawberries for Your Skin's Benefit

Strawberries

Most of us love the taste of the little red tasty berries known as strawberries but they can be beneficial on the outside of our body as well. Strawberries can clear up oiliness, fight acne, and make skin look younger by rejuvenating it. They are packed full of vitamins and antioxidants and have a high amount of vitamin C in them. Strawberries contain more vitamin C in one serving than an orange.  Vitamin C is found in a large amount of facial cleansers, scrubs, and creams. Vitamin C plays an important role in the production of collagen and helping against wrinkles. They also contain salicylic acid that helps remove dead skin cells and tighten pores.

For Acne

1/2 cup of strawberries
1/4 cup of sour cream or plain yogurt

Combine and leave on a cleansed face until it dries. Rinse with warm water followed by a splash of cool water.

Strawberry Facial Scrub

1/2 cup strawberries
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 tablespoon of sea salt or brown sugar

Combine and use as a scrub.

*CAN ALSO BE USED AS A FOOT SCRUB* I would suggest using the sea salt for the foot scrub because it would be more effective getting the dead skin removed. Your feet will be smoother and flip flop ready for summer. :)

You can also just rub plain strawberries on your facial area and rinse, still getting all the benefits of the little berry.
