Furthermore, beauty care recipes prepared from strawberries clear up acne and reduce greasiness on skin.
One of the simplest ways to use this fruit on your skin is to rub mashed strawberry pulp on your face and neck as a scrub. Rinse it off with lukewarm water after a few minutes to get beautiful soft skin.
Strawberries are the angels of the earth, innocent and sweet with green leafy wings reaching heavenward.
