Hey Dolls!
I have a few Beauty Recipes for you all today!
P.S. I'm totally drinking a Watermelon Smoothie while typing this.
Mmm... Beauty + Watermelon = To be a Perfect Summer Time Rinse & Mask.
So I have a watermelon themed beauty rinse & a couple beauty mask recipes to share with you.
Watermelon is the perfect summer fruit so sweet,  has a delicious crunch and refreshing summertime yummy addictive juice. This healthy fruit is also packed with antioxidants like lycopene and vitamins like A and C, so next time when you buy some watermelon, remind yourself that you can create a gorgeous super natural beauty create a natural & revitalizing mask.
Watermelon juice makes such a great facial rinse is because it is filled with healthy things like.. antioxidants and vitamins. It's also filled with malic acid, which is an alpha-hydroxy acid that will exfoliate your skin and help heal it. (YAY!)
So want to learn the recipes?
Well here they are:

Cleansing Rinse
2 Cups of watermelon (seeds removed)
Clean bowl

Add two cups of watermelon into a clean bowl and use a fork to mash the flesh. While lying down, apply the pulp to clean skin and let it sit for 10 minutes. Rub the pulp in circular motions to gently cleanse your skin thoroughly. Watermelon's natural fruit acids will also help exfoliate. Rinse the mask off with cool water and follow up with your normal skincare routine.

Moisturizing Mask
1/2 Cup of watermelon (seeds removed)
1/4 Cup of papaya
1/2 Cup of banana
2 Teaspoons of whole milk
Clean bowl

In a clean bowl, use a fork to mash all the ingredients together into a paste. You can use a blender but be sure not to overmix and have the mask become too runny. If the mixture is too thick, add a little bit more milk to dilute it and if it's too thin, add a bit more banana. On a clean face, apply a thin layer of the mask over your face for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse it off with cool water and follow up with your normal skin care routine.

Glowing Mask
1 Cup of watermelon (seeds removed)
1/2 of a ripe banana
1/2 cup of plain yogurt
Clean bowl

In a clean bowl, use a fork to mash all the ingredients together into a paste. You can use a blender but be sure not to overmix and have the mask become too runny. If the mixture is too thick, add some water to dilute the mask and if too thin, add a bit more yogurt. Pour the mask into a clean container and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least an hour prior to use. On a clean face, apply a thin layer of the mask and leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse it off with cool water and follow up with your normal skin care routine.

A tip for everyone: Be sure to patch test beforehand to see if you have skin reactions, as this tip goes with any homemade recipes you may try.
