Strawberries contain natural fruit acids (AHA’s), such as salicylic acid – which is found in most over-the-counter acne treatment products. This acid works as a gentle exfoliant that helps in removing the dead skin cells – making strawberries an ideal natural ingredient for using on dull or acne-prone skin.

The straw berries are also rich in vitamin C – even surpassing oranges! Vitamin C helps get rid of free radicals & improves collagen production, giving your skin a major boost!

Read on here the 4 strawberry face mask recipes (plus a bonus recipe) for normal, oily, combination, and acne-prone skin, which can be made easily at home. As the strawberries are seasonal fruit, you can buy frozen, organic strawberries and store them in your freezer. You can use them in making these facemasks, all year-round. Allow them come to room temperature before applying on to your face skin.
