The benefits of strawberries on the skin
Strawberries are an excellent source of vitamin E and antioxidants. They enhance the natural glow of the skin and protect cells from radiation while also removing dark circles and puffiness in the eye area. Tip: Put two slices of strawberries under your eyes at least 3 times a week, and you will see visible results.
As for the premature wrinkles that appear around the age of 25, strawberries could not offer anything better than their exfoliating property, removing dead cells, and moisturizing the face. Besides, they are equally helpful for acne and dark spots, while their red color, due to anthocyanins, protects the skin from UV radiation.
Here are two recipes with strawberries for making the perfect facial mask at home:
