The Watermelons and...

Melons are great fruit that we enjoy during the summer months. Except for those that live in warmer regions that is (lucky you). But today I am not blogging about how tasty watermelons are or how we should all eat them or what not, I am talking about watermelons in skincare! I first personally tried watermelons on my skin this summer, when I made a homemade watermelon mask just for fun. My skin wasn't exactly at it's best and I felt it needed a refreshment. So I got a pretty standard recipe which I will share with you today.
You will need:
1 cup of chopped watermelon (Eat the rest)
1/2 of a small container of yogurt
1 tsp of Aloe Vera juice and...
a blender!
How simple right? So what you is you blend these together and you apply it generously to skin. Some may want to substitute yogurt for sour cream which will make the mask thicker and less leaky. I used Organic plain yogurt. I kept my mask on for quite a bit, I think nearly half an hour. When I washed the mask off I was amazed with the results. My skin looks so much brighter, and already felt suppler.
  That was when our company decided to create the line of Antioxidant Watermelon Facial care items with CoQ10 coming out the first two weeks of January! So to talk a little bit of the products that we formulated, and analytically tested for our great customers: All of these products of course contain Organic Watermelon Extract (Citrullus lanatus). Watermelon extract is abundant in vitamin C and naturally occurring amino acids. Already those are very important aspects for our skin. But that is not all, the extract also supports the UV-stressed immune system of the skin and can be used to prevent photo-aging. Added to that it helps to protect the skin from every day toxins and promotes cell-renewal and elasticity of the skin. Along with Watermelon extracts this line of facial care items is infused with Watermelon seed oil. The oil has a rich composition of essential fatty acids that help to restore elasticity to the skin. It, therefore, is wonderful for all skin types, including dry, oily, acne-prone or maturing skin. So there we go, watermelon is really amazing on the skin. Added to the watermelon, our third main ingredient is CoQ10 which is an amazing natural anti-oxidant. Studies show that CoQ10 can effectively counteract free radical damage and provide significant protection against UVA-induced depletion of cell membrane. In other words, it will prevent damage to collagen and elastin production process and help you avoid wrinkles. CoQ10 is so powerful, it is able to reduce cancer tumors and minimize stroke consequences that are due to suddenly increased levels of free radicals. So when applied topically, it can provide extra protection for your skin and produce a dramatic anti-wrinkle effect. We found this to be a great combination providing great results for wrinkled skin. However even if you do not have wrinkles this is still a great regimen to use because it is so enriched with antioxidants and nourishing fruit oils that it will help you retain young, and bright looking skin naturally. Did I also mention that watermelon extract works great on blemishes?
So the products that we are going to offer are as follows. As always every product is 100% Natural, vegan, and Organic.
  1. Watermelon and CoQ10 Moisturizer - SPF 20 1.7 oz - $32.00 US/$34.00 CAN
