Fresh Strawberries

Fragaria vesca

Full of antioxidants, this fruit is the perfect one to pick when you want your skin to feel fresh and toned.

Botanists do not class strawberries as berries, as their seeds are embedded on the surface, rather than protected within.

Strawberries are considered one of the world's healthiest foods. They are a natural source of minerals, folic acid, omega-3 fatty acids and powerful antioxidants, nourishing the skin with power food. They also contain a higher concentration of vitamin C, per weight, than oranges. Strawberries contain both malic and citric acids, also known as fruit acids (AHAs) keeping the skin clean and bright.

They need to be handpicked and used fresh because of their delicacy and fragility.
