After whipping up that cranberry relish, you've got some leftover berries. What to do? Consider mixing together an exfoliating scrub.
Cranberries are packed with antioxidants and B vitamins to protect against environmental damage and enhance cell turnover, resulting in a fresh complexion, says Marianne Zullas, a skincare expert and owner of MZ Skincare in Brookline, Massachusetts.
Mix together her cranberry face scrub and use it once or twice a week. She recommends making extra for homemade gifts; simply package in glass jam jars tied with a ribbon.
