Did you know there’s more to watermelon than sugar? (You’re singing the song now aren’t you?) Watermelon acts as a wonder fruit when it comes to your skin. How, you ask? Let me fill you in on 3 reasons to eat more watermelon. Your skin will benefit from all 3 reasons.
- It hydrates. There’s a reason I load up my boys with watermelon on summer baseball days. It is super hydrating. But kids aren’t the only ones who benefit from the hydrating effects of watermelon. Hydration is a key compenent to healthy, youthful skin.
- It calms and acts as an anti-inflammatory. The calming impact of watermelon helps your skin battle inflammation and irritation.
- It’s high lycopene content helps protect against harmful UV rays. Meaning you’re less likely to get sunburned after eating a lot of it. Don’t skip the sunscreen of course, but eating watermelon at the pool or beach doesn’t hurt.

All the more reason to indulge in this sweet summer fruit. So go ahead and enjoy that watermelon sugar!
