WATER MELON CLEANSER


Did you know that the rind of the water melon can be used as a cleanser?  Yes, indeed.  This part of the fruit is packed with vitamins and minerals, and has natural collagen-enhancing properties such as citrulline, an amino acid that aids the skin’s healing and regenerative processes. What I usually do is rub the rind against my face to cleanse it.  For your information, the juice from a watermelon also makes a great astringent and helps fight pimples.

Here is how you can use water melon as a face wash.
Watermelon Wash

1. Squeeze the juice from a slice of watermelon and grate the rind.
2. Apply to face for 15 minutes.
3. Wash with hot water, then splash with cold water.
