Creating your own watermelon-yogurt facial mask at home must be definitely one of the more effective money-saving and simple ways of pampering your face. To top it all, you are secure in the knowledge that you are using safe ingredients for your facial mask, and that it is unlikely to bring any adverse effects to your skin.

Watermelon is considered as one of the best summer fruits that is capable of keeping the hair, fingernails and skin healthy and radiant. Furthermore, this thirst-quenching fruit is believed to contain powerful antioxidants that help fight against free radicals, thereby eliminating the most common signs of skin aging like wrinkles, fine lines and age spots.

In addition to its skin moisturizing, rejuvenating and revitalizing effects, watermelon (when eaten) acts as a natural diuretic that helps the body get rid of unwanted toxins. Some studies revealed that this summer fruit contains potent unsaturated fatty acids, such as linoleum and oleic acids that exfoliate the skin, and make it appear radiant and healthy. Furthermore, these acids work best in keeping the skin well-toned, free from acne, firm, soft and moisturized all the time.

More importantly, watermelon makes an effective hydrating facial mask because 92% of its content is water. This helps in keeping the skin healthy and hydrated most of the time. When the skin is constantly hydrated, it results to better production of collagen which promotes firmer and younger looking skin. When pulp of watermelon is applied on the skin, especially on face and neck, it results in smoother complexion and softer skin.

Watermelon is also an excellent source of health nutrients like phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, potassium, omega 6 fatty acids, calcium, copper, B vitamins and iron which are proven to be beneficial to the fingernails, hair and skin. With this, scientists believe that regular intake of watermelon is effective in reducing one’s risk for different types of sun-related skin damage by as much as 40%. This fruit is also a leading source of lycopene that reduces free radicals which trigger the occurrence of wrinkles and sunburn.
