Who doesn't love strawberries? They look so pretty and so delicious... But did you know that they are also great for fighting blemishes and brightening your skin?
Strawberries contain salicylic acid which is a really popular ingredient used in many skin care products. Since it is an excellent exfoliant, it effectively removes all dead skin cells. It moisturizes and softens the skin from within.
But most importantly, strawberries contain alpha hydroxy acids, which clear the top layer of your skin, as well as ellagic acid, which is responsible for whitening those dark spots and lifting overall skin tone by inhibiting melanin production in your skin. Here's how we like to use our strawberries.
