Strawberries contain antioxidants and natural acids that exfoliate and brighten your skin. 

According to Kelly Fox, a retired aesthetician, strawberries contain salicylic and malic acids, which resurface the skin and improve texture and tone.

Salicylic acid unclogs pores and removes debris, while malic acid polishes the skin and locks in moisture.

In addition, according to Healthline, strawberries contain vitamin C, which protects and brightens the skin and boosts collagen.

And all these actions pave the way to clear, youthful skin.
