Clears up skin: Blueberries have a high concentration of salicylic acid. Does this sound familiar? Salicylic acid is the main ingredient in many prescription and over the counter acne-fighting products. To make a quick treatment mask, add lemon juice and honey to mashed blueberries and apply to the skin. Leave it on for around 20 minutes and voila!
Improves hair: Blueberries can be used to promote hair growth and even prevent greys! Because blueberries also contain proanthocyanidins and vitamin B12, they are a great candidate to use on hair. Combine blueberry with olive oil to make a hair mask for yourself at home!
Great for weight loss: If you trying to lose weight or not, blueberries are a great snack. While they’ve been proven to have many health benefits, their high-fiber content will keep you full without feeling guilty. Try frozen blueberries for a refreshing summer treat!
