The days are warmer now and times like this I definitely get a craving for watermelon. It\u2019s refreshing and delicious. The watermelon fruit itself is 92% water and is rich in vitamin c\u2026 but did you know you can extract a very nutritious oil from their seeds? Let\u2019s talk about it!<\/p>\n

A note: there are two main types of watermelon seed oil usually found in skincare products \u2014 citrullus lanatus seed oil and citrullus vulgaris\u00a0seed oil \u2014 and though there’s no major difference in the benefits of either, the former refers to wild watermelon.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/span>Inner Beauty Benefits of Watermelon<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

I\u2019m going to talk a little about the benefits of the watermelon flesh as although we\u2019re talking about the benefits of watermelon seed oil \u2013 we can\u2019t ignore that it makes a refreshing snack! Eating watermelon is a great way to \u2018eat your water\u2019, helping you to hydrate. Like the seeds, it is rich in vitamin A, potassium and magnesium and also has the added benefits of vitamin c and Vitamins B1, B5 and B6. This antioxidant rich snack helps protect cell damage from free radicals, it\u2019s anti-inflammatory and may improve heart health.<\/p>\n

Yes, I know we usually spit the hard little seeds out when munching on our watermelon, but with a little work you can make them edible and a healthy snack \u2013 rich in vitamin B, potassium, magnesium, and zinc. To do so \u2013 you soak the seeds overnight and then wait until they\u2019re visibly sprouted. At this point, you can dry them in the oven, dehydrator or under the sun\u2026 then they\u2019re ready to eat.<\/p>\n

You can also buy watermelon seed oil to consume \u2013 it\u2019s also known as ootanga oil or kalahari oil and can be cooked with or drizzled on salads.<\/p>\n

I become curious about this Kyushi power of ten face oil a few months ago, initially yes I liked the look of the brand packaging but more importantly I was curious about the fact that it is a blend of 10 powerful plant based oils. The oils used are known for their ability to calm inflammation, nourish, soothe, plus many of them are antioxidants so are able to protect the skin from free radicals damage.<\/p>\n
