Beauty of a strawberry

Before we get into the benefits of using strawberries, i want to share with you some interesting facts about them:

The first garden of strawberries was harvested in late 18th century in France

European monks were using strawbeeries in their illuminated manuscripts

These fruits treat depression

They contain acetylsalicylic acid, known as Aspirin

Egyptians used them as masks to treat acne

It has gender flowers and only the female ones produce the fruits

Pretty cool, huh? Now, let's see what are they good for:

Reduce sun damage

Tighten pores

Remove impurities

Teeth whitener

I just came from grandma's place so i have plenty of strawberries to play with (i even placed some in the freezer for future face masks).

You don't need much for the masks. For the one below i have used (besides strawberries) some honey and 2 Tbs of clay (from Aslavital). Just make a mush out of them, them mix with the other 2 ingredients.

On the face, it looks like this below. The bumps and lumps are from the strawberries. I always apply the mask on the neck as well, he needs some love too, hihi! After it has dried (about 15-20 minutes) wash it off with warm water. After that, apply a rich cream or vitamin serum. This time, i chose to apply the Planet Spa serum from Avon. It gets in the skin fast and you don't feel oily.

So, there you have it ladies! Nature's way of helping us stay pretty, fresh and healthy. Please like/ share if you think the info above helped you.

Toodles!
