The watermelon skin is good for your skin, don't throw it away!

When its summer or when weather is hot even, watermelon is everyone's favourite (most people anyways)
Look at those watermelon! So yummy and juicy!!!


When we've eaten the red part we will throw the skin away right? Well from now on don't, keep it for some natural beauty treatment! Suitable for both men and women. :)

Watermelon is like cucumber really cool and refreshing so of course that would be good if you've been under the sun for too long and would like to soothe your skin. We, Chinese people say when you get spot is due to 'heat' in our body, I don't know what its called in English. But according to the Chinese medical theory, the 'heat' (not our body temperature lol) is created from eating too much fried food, wheat products, being under the sun too much. Too mush 'heat' will not only cause spot but also bad breath, sore throat, waking up with lots of those eye boogies thing lol, and apparently we will bite our tongue or inside of our mouth more often. Chinese people have several herbal drinks to get rid of this 'heat' and of course prevent and get rid of spots.  (Just gave you guys a mini lesson about Chinese medicine lol)
As with the watermelon, it will cool down your spots. Make sense? lol

Method:
Cleanse your face first to get rid of dirt and sweat, no need to apply toner after.

The skin should be something like below (You can scrap some off to clean it out a bit if you feel funny about the saliva on the watermelon lol):


Cut into smaller pieces to make it easier to use if you wish.

Simply just rub it against your cheeks, forehead, nose, all over your face basically.
 
After you've done it, rinse it with cold water to get rid of the the bits and juice.

Feel your face now and you would feel that your skin has instantly gone softer like a baby's bum! lol

Pat to dry with a clean flannel.

You can apply toner if you wish (the watermelon is cold and plus you rinsed your skin with cold water so the pores would have shrunk anyway but you can use it to get rid of any dirt from the flannel since it may not be 100% clean- toner not only shrinks your pores also gets rid of dirt on your skin.*)

If you have dry skin apply some moisturizer afterwards.

*An express way to clean your face is wiping toner over your face with a cotton pad


Try it out guys!

  2. It does! My mum is the one who taught me about this, some beautician in Hong Kong taught her this when she was younger. :)
