Everyone’s favorite red berry is now the hottest skincare ingredient. Strawberries are more than a tasty snack-time treat because their beauty benefits are just as sweet as their taste! The benefits of strawberries make a long list, including hydrating, brightening, exfoliating, and protecting your skin. While oranges are typically the go-to for vitamin C, an antioxidant great for protecting your skin against environmental stressors, strawberries deliver greater amounts of vitamin C, folate, and potassium. Including strawberries in your regular diet is a fantastic health boost, and now, you can give the same boost to your beauty routine.
