Reveal Your Radiant Summer Complexion
Posted on July 01, 2024 Written by: 100% PURE®
Summer fever is heating up as quickly as body sweat, and if you’re like most of us coming out from dry, hot, or humid-filled days with dull, congested skin, pay close attention! One of the most overlooked steps in a skincare routine is exfoliation. Dead skin cells build up without an exfoliating product, leading to dull, sad skin.
But don’t sweat it! The key to exfoliating is using a natural scrub. Otherwise, you might fall prey to using conventional exfoliants that are too harsh or ineffective, leaving skin parched and irritated. Exfoliation happens to be the best extra step to the glowiest complexion! But there’s one little thing to take care of first: What type of exfoliant works best?
Summer skin calls for summer-friendly products that can help you maintain a hydrated, glowing complexion – and that includes summer’s favorite staple, strawberries! Imagine achieving a glowing, smooth complexion with the power of fruits!
We’re part of that berry-loving patch, too! Discover the superfruit power of our Strawberry Brightening Scrub designed to brighten and rejuvenate your skin naturally. It’s summer excitement meets feverishly berry radiant skin for a summer win!
Why Strawberry?
Strawberry cheesecake, strawberry smoothie…who doesn’t love these sweet, juicy berries? Seeing as strawberries are the country’s most favorite fruit, it’s no wonder why we’d want to be part of that berry special patch, too. Aside from their scrumptious taste and fragrant scent that evokes thoughts of family picnics and summer festivals, strawberries have superior skin powers!
Packed with powerful antioxidants and healthy nutrients, strawberries are very berry-ficial for your complexion and have impressive benefits for many different skin types and concerns:
Anti-aging: Strawberry is high in vitamin C. As a potent antioxidant, vitamin C has been shown to help counteract the damaging effects of free radicals, thereby playing a pivotal role in maintaining the skin's health, brightness, and youthful vigor.
Acne-fighting: Strawberry is a natural source of salicylic acid, which sloughs away dead skin cells, purifies clogged pores, and eliminates excess oil and other impurities and breakouts. Acne-prone skin types will love how strawberry helps moisturize and balance skin while eliminating blemishes.
Skin-brightening: The salicylic acid in strawberries will help to gently resurface your skin, banishing dullness and revealing a radiant, more youthful complexion. Its vitamin C content will help to stimulate cell renewal and circulation, resulting in a healthy glow.
UV protecting: Some research suggests that strawberries and their content of anthocyanins, which give the superfruit its vibrant red color, can help to protect skin against UV rays, helping to reduce the risk of photodamage to the skin.
Hydrating: The antioxidant, ellagic acid, in strawberries can nourish and hydrate the skin. Additional moisture encourages your complexion to develop and maintain its resiliency and flexibility.
Anti-inflammatory: Strawberries have anti-inflammatory properties, which can soothe and calm irritated, sensitive, and acne-prone skin.
Skin boosting: Consuming strawberries as part of a healthy diet can improve the health of the skin, making it look more radiant and youthful.
Antioxidant protecting: Strawberries contain antioxidants like vitamin C and ellagic acid, which can help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals. Ellagic acid also promotes gentle exfoliation and skin brightening.
We can’t express enough the bountiful benefits of strawberries for a glowing, smooth complexion! If you have specific skin issues like fine lines and wrinkles, strawberry is an anti-aging all-star ingredient! Strawberries are loaded with powerful antioxidants and polyphenols, which help protect against UV damage and defend against signs of premature aging.
The extract’s rich source of ellagic acid and alpha hydroxy acids gently exfoliates skin for a smoother, brighter complexion. Vitamin C also helps to brighten and even your skin, and lessen the appearance of dark spots. Let’s just say strawberry is jam-packed with skin-efits and the best brightening face scrub has a glowing reputation for radiant skin!
What Makes the Strawberry Brightening Scrub Special
By now we’ve all had our fair share of all kinds of exfoliating scrubs. Ranging from sugar to salt scrubs - and let’s not forget the plastic microbead and chemical scrubs - there’s an assortment of different types of exfoliating scrubs. While some of these should be scrub-a-dubbed away for good, others are more potent and specific to a skin type – unless it’s a natural exfoliating scrub!
Unlike many conventional exfoliants made with synthetic dyes, plastic beads, toxic perfumes, or large particles like walnut shells that can create microtears or irritation in the skin or damage the environment, the Strawberry Brightening Scrub combines the brightening power of strawberry with gentle exfoliating lemon and other fruit acids to exfoliate and brighten the skin.
This berry brightening facial scrub features small exfoliants, including strawberry, grape, and cranberry seeds as well as a blend of natural fruits, including pineapple, papaya, cranberry, and gentle lactic acid, which are all great for gently providing an additional exfoliating effect and removing impurities for a soft, glowing complexion.

How to Use the Strawberry Brightening Scrub
Strawberries are naturally sweet treats with no shortage of substance: we’re talking vitamins, antioxidants, and alpha hydroxy acids to name a few. They’re not only fruits that are good for the skin, but they’re great for virtually all skin types and concerns. With that kind of compatibility, it’s no wonder you’ll find strawberries in our best brightening face scrub and more skincare products ranging from cleansers to scrubs – even a DIY mask!
Remember we mentioned earlier about the importance of that ‘one’ extra step in your skincare routine to get summer hot girl, glowing skin? It’s with our Strawberry Brightening Scrub and it’s very easy to use and add to your regular skincare routine. Here’s how!
Step-by-Step Application:
Instructions: Apply a small amount to damp skin, gently massaging in circular motions. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Follow with a natural skincare routine for your skin type.
Tips: Use 2-3 times a week for best results.
Daily Routine Integration:
Step 1: Cleanser: Start by removing impurities from your skin with a gentle cleanser.
Step 2: Exfoliator: Remove dead skin cells and purify pores, while smoothing and brightening skin with the Strawberry Brightening Scrub.
Step 3: Toner: After exfoliating, balance skin and replenish moisture with a gentle toner.
Step 4: Serum: To maximize skin radiance, add a Vitamin C Serum to even and brighten skin and boost collagen production.
Step 5: Moisturizer: Rehydrate skin and lock in hydration with a lightweight moisturizer.
Step 6: Sun Protection: Protect skin from UVA/UVB rays and sun damage with SPF.
Generally, natural skincare products like toners and serums with strawberries are suitable to use twice daily for most skin types. However, in addition to the ingredient’s gentle exfoliating properties, scrubs that include the famed red berry and other exfoliants, such as surgery, and grainy scrubs, might irritate sensitive or reactive skin. If you have super skin sensitivities, you may want to do a patch test first.
