Strawberries are not only delicious but are also one of the best natural beauty ingredients this summer season.

“Strawberries are rich in the antioxidant ellagic acid, which increases your skin’s elasticity. They are a good source of the B vitamin biotin, needed for healthy nails and hair,” healthy living expert Dr. Ro, author of “Dr. Ro’s Ten Secrets to Livin’ Healthy” and “You Healthy and Happy” explains.

What’s more, if you rub strawberry pulp on your teeth it helps whiten them and to de-puff your eyes, place a few strawberry slices on your eyelids and relax for 10 minutes.
