Strawberries And Acne, What The Heck?


Every now and then we get really anxious to do something different to control our acne. We put toothpaste on our pimples, egg whites on our face to act as a mask. Something you probably knew nothing about is the dramatic effect of strawberries on your face. As it turns out, not only are strawberries delicious, but they are also really good for your acne. Who would have thought :)
Strawberries are so great for your skin because they act as a conditioner and toner for your face. A lot of acne solutions contain salicylic acid and strawberries already have salicylic acid in them. Strawberries will help to smooth out your skin and even lighten any dark areas on your face that you may have.
The best way to use strawberries is with a mask, it's really easy. You need just 1/2 cup of strawberries, fresh not frozen, and 1 tablespoon of sour cream. Stir them together and apply to your face like a mask. Don't remove for about 20 minutes then rinse off with warm water and pat dry. The strawberry juice will leave your skin feeling tighter and the sour cream with hydrate your skin. You don't have to use sour cream you can use a strawberry all by itself, just rub the inside juices on your face.
Some more strawberry information for you.
Strawberries are also useful in making your teeth whiter and freshening your breath. To whiten your teeth, just rub half a strawberry all over your teeth and leave it on there for a while.
I hope you enjoyed this post on strawberries. Just try not to think about some of the uses for strawberries when you are using strawberries for anything romantic :) perfect skin can be achieved in so many different ways and you should aim to find a workable program for you.
