August - watermelon time. Adults and children are in a hurry to enjoy this sweet and fragrant berry. The juicy tender pulp of this fruit quenches thirst in the best weather. We eat watermelons and do not think that taste and aroma are not their only advantages. If we study the chemical composition of this product, we can conclude that its use can help in the treatment of certain diseases.
After all, it contains a large number of vitamins A, PP, C, group B, as well as
vital trace elements (phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, potassium). The red color of the pulp is due to the presence of the substance lycopene, which has a beneficial effect on our body. Suffice it to mention that this element is used to create anti-cancer drugs. To use this wonderful fruit is useful not only inside, but also outside. So, face masks from watermelon can help women solve their skin problems. Consider several options for creating such care products.
Classic watermelon mask
The flesh of this wonderful berry is very juicy, watery. It is extremely difficult to make gruel from it for application to the face - a lot of juice stands out. Therefore, you need to apply face masks from watermelon to the skin in a special way. We do this: take clean cheesecloth, put it in 4-5 layers, make cuts for the eyes and nose, moisten with the juice of our berries and apply to the face. It is necessary to keep the mask for 15-20 minutes. After that, remove the gauze, rinse your face with water and apply any suitable nourishing cream for us. Such a mask refreshes the skin well, tones it and prevents the appearance of age-related changes.
