Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup watermelon juice (freshly squeezed is best!)
- 1 tablespoon aloe vera gel (look for a 100% aloe vera gel)
- 1 teaspoon hyaluronic acid (available at most drugstores and online)
- 1/2 teaspoon glycerin (optional, but adds extra hydration)
- 5 drops of your favorite essential oil (optional; lavender or chamomile are soothing)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Watermelon Juice: Cut a small watermelon into chunks and blend until completely smooth. Strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any pulp. You only need a quarter cup, but feel free to enjoy the rest!
-
Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, gently combine the watermelon juice, aloe vera gel, hyaluronic acid, and glycerin (if using). Stir until well mixed.
-
Add Essential Oil (Optional): If using essential oils, add them to the mixture and stir gently to distribute evenly.
-
Transfer to Container: Pour the mixture into a clean, airtight container. A small glass jar works perfectly.
-
Refrigerate: Store the homemade watermelon glow night treatment in the refrigerator. This will keep it fresh for up to a week.
Application:
After cleansing and toning your skin in the evening, gently apply a thin layer of the treatment to your face and neck. Allow it to absorb completely before applying any other products or going to bed. Wake up to brighter, smoother skin!
Tips for Success:
- Fresh is Best: Using freshly squeezed watermelon juice will yield the best results.
- Quality Ingredients: Opt for high-quality ingredients whenever possible. This will make a difference in the overall effectiveness of the treatment.
- Patch Test: Before applying the treatment to your entire face, it’s always a good idea to do a patch test on a small area of skin to check for any allergic reactions.
- Adjust to Your Skin Type: If you have oily skin, you might want to reduce the amount of glycerin or omit it entirely.
Variations:
- Add a touch of Vitamin E: Incorporating a few drops of Vitamin E oil can provide extra antioxidant benefits.
- Niacinamide Boost: A few drops of niacinamide serum can further enhance the glow and improve skin texture.
