The Beauty Benefits of Cranberries

By Kristina Henry

If homemade cranberry sauce was part of your Thanksgiving meal then you’ve done your skin a favor. Cranberries are loaded with antioxidants and nutrients. They’re beneficial if applied directly to the skin because they’re known to combat bacteria (which can cause acne). Use your leftover cranberries to make a face scrub! Blend coconut oil and fresh cranberries to make a do it yourself face wash. Add sugar to the mixture after. If you have leftover green apples, be sure to blend them with the other ingredients. Apples are also packed with nutrients and will leave your skin looking radiant and feeling refreshed.
