When it comes to beauty, there is a wide variety of products with different prices, brands, and styles; however, many times nature is our great ally, as many elements extracted from the environment provide properties that are very beneficial and useful for both health and cosmetics.

Strawberries, besides being delicious, are very beneficial for the body, as they have a low calorie index, high energy value, high levels of vitamin C, help balance cholesterol, provide vitamin B, and are natural antioxidants and anti-inflammatories. They strengthen bones, improve vision, and promote blood circulation.

However, they are also very effective in beauty treatments and here we will teach you how to use them to improve the appearance of your skin.

As mentioned earlier, strawberries contain a significant level of vitamin C and ellagic acid, which help combat the damage caused by free radicals, such as dryness, expression lines, and sagging. By including them in your daily diet, you can contribute to delaying the effects of aging from the inside out.

In addition, strawberries also have a high content of salicylic acid, which is a great ally when it comes to combating acne breakouts and regulating the production of facial oil.

Here are some masks you can make and use at home; they are easy to prepare and you will see that they will be very helpful for the appearance of your skin:

- Deep cleansing
Use half a cup of ripe and clean strawberries and blend them with ¼ cup of cornstarch until you obtain a thick paste. Apply it to your previously washed face, leave it on for twenty minutes, and then rinse.

- Exfoliant
Add one egg, half a cup of strawberries, one tablespoon of natural honey, and one tablespoon of lemon juice until you get a mixture that you should apply to your face, avoiding the eyes and lips. After 10 minutes, rinse with cold water.

- Anti-acne
For this mask, you need to mix ¼ cup of clean strawberries with one tablespoon of sour cream and apply it to the affected area of your clean and dry skin for 10 minutes, then rinse. You can use this mask twice a week for better results.

As you can see, these fruits are not only delicious and nutritious, but they also help us look beautiful. A true gift from nature, don’t you think?
