Beauty uses for Strawberries in Nairobi

Here at Jade Gardens Farm, we love strawberries.
Strawberries - yum!
They are mostly eaten in salads, with whipped cream or in smoothies or juices. They can also be used for beauty reasons like on your skin.

Strawberries are good for your skin while applied topically. They are packed with anti-oxidants. Anti-oxidants help skin look younger & brighter, they repair skin that has been burnt by the sun. They also effectively and efficiently deal with oily skin and acne.

Strawberries also have AHA's (Alpha Hydroxy Acids); they have excellent exfoliating capabilities. This means they remove the skin's dead cell build-up which leaves your skin glowing.

Here are tow Strawberry scrub ideas you can use at home:

FOR PUFFY EYES:

- 1 large Strawberry

Directions
- Slice the strawberry in half and place the slices on your eyes.
- Remove the slices and follow up with a gentle moisturizer.

FOR SOFT SKIN:

- 1T Organic Honey
- 3 ripe, mushed medium Strawberries
- 1T Heavy Cream

Directions:


- Mix it all to make a paste and apply it on your face.
- Leave it on for 10 minutes. Rinse off with cold water.
- If you have sensitive skin, substitute the cream with yoghurt.

Try this out at home and promise you'll feel great afterwards and your skin will thank you ^_^!
