Watermelon Wonders

Michelle Allan



Lately I have come across some interesting beauty facts the biggest being the health properties of a watermelon. That’s right girlies this cheap summer fruit is not just useful laden with vodka at barbeques. Firstly it is a healthy nutritious snack and secondly it can also be used to make great home-made beauty products.

The youthful face pack:
Simply apply one cup of watermelon pulp on to your face and neck and leave it for 15 minutes. This will leave your face soft, youthful and full of vitality.

The Sunburnt face pack:
Mix together equal parts watermelon and cucumber pulp, leave it on your skin for 20 minutes. This will cool and sooth your sunburn and will also help take down the redness.

Cleanser:
Mix watermelon and fresh mint leaves together, put the mixture in to ice cube moulds and freeze. If you rub these cooling cleansing cubes over your face they clean pores and leave your face feeling soft and cleansed.

Exfoliate:
Squeeze out the juice from grated watermelon, mix the grated pulp with a pinch of gram flour, leave this on the face for 15 minutes then wash off. This is cheaper and better than any face scrub or peel.
