Fun and Innovative Watermelon Beauty Products
Watermelon is one of our favorite summertime fruits, but as it turns out, watermelon is packed with antioxidants, while the pulp is loaded with water and is great for hydrating dry skin. According to medical experts, watermelon may also help prevent free radical damage from UV light and exposure to various environmental elements, as well as promote the production of healthy collagen, and brighten and even skin’s complexion.
