While strawberries are known for their skin-beneficial properties, including exfoliation and brightening, it's not recommended to rub a raw strawberry directly on your face.
Here's why:
- Skin Sensitivity: The acidity of strawberries can irritate sensitive skin, leading to redness, itching, and even rashes.
- Potential for Allergic Reactions: Some individuals may be allergic to strawberries, and direct contact can trigger reactions like hives or swelling.
- Uneven Application: Rubbing a strawberry directly on your face might lead to uneven application of the fruit's juices, potentially causing uneven skin tone or irritation.
Instead of direct application, consider using DIY strawberry face masks or store-bought products that contain strawberry extract. These methods ensure a controlled and balanced application of the fruit's benefits without risking skin irritation.
