benefits for helping to keep your skin healthy. The fruit is full of

1. Rich in vitamins
Think of watermelon as a giant cocktail pill of vitamins. Watermelon
contains vitamins of A,C, and B6, all of which are great for helping you
to maintain firm, soft, healthy and fresh skin. The vitamin C not only
helps to protect from sun or air pollution exposure, but can even help
to balance out your skin complexion, too. The vitamin B6 that this fruit
contains can even help clear up your skin if you suffer from acne.
Vitamin A and C are other important nutrients that help protect your
skin from infection and sun exposure. Additionally, these vitamins can
even help us to age gracefully -- after all, getting saggy and wrinkly
skin is not something the majority of us are looking forward to.
Surprisingly, the vitamins A and C in watermelon are great for helping
to fight against the woes of aging like sagging and wrinkly skin.
watermelon may be the secret to having lasting youthful looking skin.
2. Naturally tones
Another fun fact about watermelon is that the fruit itself can be
used as a toner. You can literally take a slice and rub it all over your
skin. The cool feeling of the melon's juices easily soak into your skin
and can feel incredibly refreshing.

3. Hydrates skin
One of the simplest ways to take good care of your skin is to stay
hydrated. As we know, being dehydrated is not fun, you feel like crap,
your skin gets flaky, dry and itchy. Watermelon is a great pick-me-up as
it contains so much water. In addition, consuming water in general is a
great way to help the body rid itself of toxins. Remember, a healthy
body means healthy skin!
4. Balances oil production
If you have very oily skin, watermelon might especially be helpful to
try. The vitamin A works to shrink your pores to help fight against the
excess secretion of oil that your body produces.

5. Naturally moisturizes
Not only will watermelon hydrate you, but it can also be an
incredible moisturizer for your skin in keeping it soft, firm, and
glowing.
As you can see, watermelon can give you so much more than
just a tasty summer snack. This magical fruit is full of benefits that
we wouldn't even think of. Everything from fighting excess oil,
protecting, hydrating, and moisturizing.
