The fruit of summer: Watermelon
Yeah we understand that cutting and eating this huge fruit is a pain but then you will not want to miss the benefits it comes with, especially in summers. This fruit which contains water around 93% and has vitamins A, B6 and C can help our skin in various ways and apart from being a dehydrator it can also work as a skin healer. Let us know how it can be the magic to be tried or used this summer:
Look young: We often go out and the moment we step out the dust particles starts settling on our skin, closing the pores. So, watermelon can help you in making your skin look clean and young, all you have to do is apply its pulp on exposed areas like neck, face and arms. For giving a fresh and cool look you can add mint to the pulp.
Also, because of the presence of antioxidants in this fruit, it prevents your skin from any sort of damage that might make your skin look aged. So if you want to make your skin anti-ageing, mix the juice of watermelon with mashed avocado and apply the mix on face. Let it rest for 20 minutes. Wash it with warm water.
Soft and glowing skin: Watermelon because of its water content becomes the best source to hydrate your skin. However, to give your skin a soft touch you can mix watermelon’s pulp with yogurt, as yogurt has lactic acid and enzymes which would exfoliate your skin and clean it. Use cold water to rinse your face.
Remove Tan and exfoliate your skin with Watermelon: Malic acid’s presence in watermelon helps in exfoliating skin. All you have to do is to rub the pulp of this fruit on your skin and leave it untouched for 20 minutes on your face and rinse.
Also, you can use watermelon juice to remove tan on your skins by just soaking the cotton cloth/cotton pads in it and applying on tanned parts of your body. Keep it for 15 minutes and rinse it off with cool water. You can also mix cucumber’s pulp mask along with watermelon to remove sun tan.
Cures acne and controls oil secretion: In summers, acne becomes one hard thing to fight but with watermelon you can address this issue as well with watermelon juice and also, it can be used to control skin’s oil secretion as watermelon is a rich source of vitamin A which is vital for our skin. The watermelon juice reduces the pores size and controls the oil secretion by the sebaceous glands.
So, go out in the market, fetch a watermelon and make your skin beautiful this summer.
