Skin Healthy Watermelon For You!

Insights

When it comes to beauty and skin care, fruits rule the roost. No other ingredients in skin care are as popular, beneficial and widely used – natural or extracted, eaten or applied! At mySkin, we love all our fruits; however, we dedicate this article to the most humble, simplest, and a whopper of a fruit – the WATERMELON!

Watermelons are 93% water and are packed with Vitamins A, C B1 and B6, potassium and magnesium. They have a rich antioxidant content of lycopene. The seeds of the fruit are as beneficial for the skin as its flesh is. The seeds of watermelon have unsaturated fatty acids like linoleum and oleic acid. Watermelon is good for all skin types. If this has not made you ‘watermelon curious’, these 5 reasons surely should!

Oomph up your skin moisture– With 93% of water content, this fruit is great for keeping your skin hydrated – in summer or any other season. It also works as a natural toner and gives your skin a glow. For dry skin, applying a pack of honey and watermelon juice does wonders to keep the skin’s moisture locked in.
Zap the zits– The Vitamin A content in watermelons works to reduce excess oil produced by the sebaceous glands, reduces pore size, and thus helps in reducing the occurrence of acne. Watermelon packs are good for oily skin.
Enjoy the sun – Watermelons are cooling and are perfect for sun-damaged skin. When applied as a pack to the face, the water and antioxidant content can help in healing sun burns and reducing sun damage, including reducing sun tans.
Look youthful– Packed with anti-oxidants like Vitamins A and C and lycopene, watermelons are good for reducing free-radical damage on the skin. It works to smoothen out wrinkles, fine lines and age spots.
Your skin savior– Oil extracted from the watermelon seeds, Kalahari oil, helps in preventing skin infections and certain types of skin cancers.

The watermelon simply isn’t a big, round, juicy, red summer cooler. It’s a great skin saver, with numerous benefits for your skin – right from dehydration to sun damage to blemishes and everything else in between!
