Strawberry for skin care..........





Excellent Skin Cleanser



The strawberry has great cleansing properties. Strawberry extracts are often used as an ingredient in skin cleansers, face washes, refreshing bubble baths and rejuvenating face-masks as they contain vitamin C, salicylic acid, antioxidants and Exfoliants

 Skin Repair



Vitamin C in strawberries enables the body to grow and repair its tissues as it is involved in making collagen, an important protein needed by the skin and other parts of the body and helps heal wounds more quickly. 



Being water soluble, this vitamin cannot be stored in the body and has to be provided from food sources. A cup of strawberry provides 100% of Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of vitamin C that plays a vital role in repairing skin damage.

Effective Foot Scrub




Strawberries can be effective in giving you soft and crack free feet. 

You can prepare a strawberry foot scrub by mashing 6 to 8 strawberries and mixing them with a few drops of glycerin and grounded oats. Soak your feet in warm water for 10 minutes. 


After taking them out, scrub gently with this mixture to exfoliate dead cells and rough skin. Wash off with clean cold water and moisturize your feet with any cold cream or foot cream.
