Try out these musk melon home recipes for your hair & skin
Muskmelon or Cantaloupe is not only an extremely refreshing snack for the summer, but also a great fruit to make your skin soft and glowing. Along with helping the skin to stay hydrated, the fruit is packed with nutrients such as vitamin A, B and C, which help it to stay healthy, young and supple. Here are ways that you can easily add muskmelons to your beauty regime.
Bright Up Face Mask Recipe:
As Musk Melon is made up of 90% water, applying it to your face helps in reducing any signs of dryness from over exposure to the sun. You can try a cooling mask twice a week, made of mashed melon, yoghurt and oatmeal and apply it to your skin for 15-20 minutes. Gently massage this and rinse it off with tepid water. The antioxidant properties of vitamin C in the musk melon will treat any UV-related skin damage, the zinc in yoghurt will help calm the burning sensation due to sunburn. Lastly, the oatmeal will help reduce any inflammation and reverse skin damage caused by pollution and sunrays.
Lustrous Hair Mask Recipe:
A simple way to condition your hair naturally is to apply a paste of melon after a shampoo, to nourish the scalp and hair shaft. You can also make hair masks with the fruit by combining it with a spoon of coconut or castor oil and applying it for 15 minutes. Remember to rinse the masks off with cold water as that will close the cuticles of the hair and keep it shiny.
