Multiple Uses For Strawberries

I buy huge shells of strawberries at Costco.  Costco is how I buy the great majority of my food quite frankly, and while I only buy a few things at a time, the things are so big that you don’t always make it all the way through before it goes bad, especially with fresh fruits like strawberries.  Frankly, I love strawberries, and so when I buy a shell I have multiple uses.  I make pies, eat them fresh, make shortcake, and I make facial masks.  Strawberries have always been prized for their extreme levels of vitamin C for one thing, and that’s good considering I am too picky about my quality of oranges and orange juice in general.  Too much one way or the either in ripening tastes funny to me.  But when used on your skin, vitamin C is one of those vitamins that you can never get too much of.  Plus, it has salicylic acid, which is an extremely cheap and common, yet effective ingredient in fighting acne.  Frankly, when combining it with honey, it works even better for its antibacterial properties among other things.  Strawberries in general are one of the best foods you can use for your skin, and it makes it a lot easier for me to deal with those huge shells and everything else.
