Take Care of Your Skin with A Watermelon Body Scrub

Not only refreshing to eat, but also nourishing to your body! Watermelon can be truly beneficial to your skin’s health, hydrating and helping skin regain their collagen and elastin, which will be helpful to prevent skin sagging and even hyperpigmentation. Skin cells need the extra boost to repair z–especially if they’ve been burned by the sun!  

This recipe uses watermelons from our friends at Melon 1, who are growing watermelons with family, and farming families, right here in the USA! If you don’t know about watermelons and how terrific they are, dig into our sister site Farm Star Living and check out Melon 1 and the amazing health benefits of watermelons! 

For example, watermelons help fight free radicals, are great for your hair, nails, aids in digestion, may help reduce cholesterol, and more – and are packed with powerful vitamins including Vitamin C and A!

When we consume watermelon, we absorb the healthy benefits in our bodies, but unfortunately our skin doesn’t really absorb that much of these benefits. In Fact, only 1 - 3% of the benefits of watermelons end up attributed to your skin. So, applying watermelon directly in a scrub like this is beneficial for your skin!
