Watermelon's Many Benefits for Your Skin

Not only does watermelon taste great, but it also has tons of health benefits. It’s a tasty summer treat and many use it on their skin to treat a variety of conditions. Watermelon facial mists or sugar scrubs can produce glowing radiant skin. 

Watermelon is chock full of antioxidants, lycopene and vitamin C that help combat free radical damage and improves the skin’s elasticity. Vitamin C increases collagen, smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles, and brightens dull looking skin. The tasty fruit will help your skin appear firmer and more radiant.  

Watermelon is even good for breakouts as it increases the production of nitric oxide in the body, thus speeding up the healing of pimples and cuts.  

It's definitely one snack you can feel good about eating all summer long!
