DIY Cranberry Glow Rinse: Your 60-Second Winter Brightening Treatment

Winter weather can leave your skin feeling dull, tight, and lacking its usual glow. But nature gives us a beautiful, ruby-red secret weapon: cranberries.

Packed with vitamin C, antioxidants, and gentle fruit acids, cranberries help brighten the skin’s surface, refine texture, and add a healthy, natural rosy glow without harsh exfoliants or irritation.

  1. Mix the cranberry juice with warm water.
  2. Dip the cotton pad into the mixture.

✨ Why Cranberries Work for the Skin

Cranberries are naturally rich in:

  • Vitamin C: Brightens and supports collagen
  • Gentle fruit acids: Smooth rough texture
  • Antioxidants: Protects against winter stress

Together, they create a subtle brightening effect that makes your skin look fresh, revived, and glowing.  Perfect for those dry, chilly days.
