The Skin Benefits of Berries

The first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions berries is of course is that first sweet, juicy bite into a strawberry or blueberry grown to perfection. The second thing that should come to mind, especially to the super smart readers of the Beauty SEAcrets blog, is that berries hold wonderful benefits for the skin!

• Berries are known for their natural brightening properties.
• Berries do double duty as exfoliants and peels.
• Berries are super nourishing.

Berries Good for Your Skin

Strawberry – Often called “nature’s candy”, strawberries are known to be high in vitamins C, B6, K, fiber, folic acid, potassium, and amino acids. They are a perennial plant, the only fruit containing seeds on the outside, a great source of nitrate.

Blueberry – A sweet, tiny berry that packs a punch, blueberries are known to be nutritional powerhouses! They contain one of the highest natural antioxidant levels of any food, and are rich sources of vitamins C, K1, and manganese. Flavonoids, responsible for many of the unique qualities of the blueberry, are present in plentiful amounts too! This includes anthocyanins, quercetin and myricetin.

Beetroot – We include beet root in our professional Berryfina Facial, but don’t fret because it’s not a berry (psst… strawberries aren’t technically berries… mind blown?). Loaded with fiber, manganese, potassium, vitamins c and b9 (folate), beets are sweet for your palette and can help improve the appearance of your complexion. Beetroots contain inorganic nitrates, and a color so strong it is used to dye tomato paste a deeper red.

Berry Face Mask 

You know you want to introduce this amazing ingredient into your routine, but don’t know where to begin? Introduce an at-home berry face mask, like our FUSION Berryfina Brightening Mask, into your skin care routine. With deep cleansing kaolin clay, your skin will be dirt-free, all the better for the berries to do their brightening brilliance.

Berry Facial

If you prefer to be in a professional environment and have the treatment and its benefits explained to you, FUSION Berryfina Facial is also available as a facial at fine spas around the country! It can be experienced as either an express facial, or combined with peels and body treatments for a full-fledged spa session. Prepare for a wow sensory experience as the calming aroma of berries fills the air, combined with deep massage techniques and a precise professional touch.
