Skin Benefits Of Watermelon



Watermelon is more than just a refreshing fruit to quench your thirst. It is rich in vitamin A, C and antioxidants, vital for skin health. Its high water content hydrates your body, resulting in radiant skin. The various watermelon benefits for skin are given below.


1. Anti-ageing:

Free radicals in the body are responsible for causing signs of ageing such as fine lines, wrinkles and age spots. Watermelon is a rich source of antioxidants like lycopene, Vitamin A and C. These help reduce free radicals in the body, thus preventing signs of ageing. Watermelon can be applied on the skin topically and consumed too for getting the best results.


2. Natural toner:
This juicy red fruit is a natural astringent that enhances the appearance of our skin by acting as a natural toner. For the best results, massage your skin with a fresh watermelon slice or blend it with honey. If you have oily skin, you can add hazelnut powder to watermelon juice extract and apply it on your face and neck to keep it well-hydrated.


3. Moisturizes and hydrates skin:

Dehydration can make our skin appear dry and dull. If you have dry skin, you can apply watermelon with honey to keep it properly moisturized and hydrated. This fruit must also be included in your diet for a supple skin.


4. Cures acne:

Watermelon is one of the best natural remedies for acne. If your skin is prone to acne or pimples, simply massage your skin with watermelon juice every day. To use:

Cleanse your face thoroughly
Dab a cotton ball in watermelon juice
Apply it to your face.
Leave for 15 minutes
Rinse off with cold water


5. Removes excess oil from the skin:

Watermelon is a rich source of vitamin A which is vital to the health and vitality of our skin. It reduces the size of the skin pores and minimises the oil secreted by the sebaceous glands.


6. Treatment of sunburns:

Watermelon can be also used to treat sunburns. To use:

Prepare a face pack by mixing equal proportions of watermelon and cucumber pulp
Apply the pack to your face evenly
Leave it on for 20 minutes.
This will not only help heal the sunburns but also lighten your complexion.
