Product Information

Watermelon in skincare is nothing new, especially to K-beauty fanatics. "Now as a dermatologist, after all these years, I finally have answers to a strange facial tradition my mother used to make me do every time we ate watermelon,” explains Tiffany J. Libby, MD, board certified dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon at Brown Physicians. “My mother would cut off the pulp to expose the white rind, and have me rub it all over my face. We would then quarter them off into little squares and place them on our eyes as you would cucumber slices.” Dr. Libby notes that watermelons have been used in Asian cultures for centuries because of the fruit’s anti-inflammatory properties that work to help reduce redness, inflammation, and repair the skin. “Watermelon is rich in skin-loving vitamins A, C, and E, which also give it its antioxidant power to help neutralize free radical damage and reduce stress on skin,” adds Dr. Libby. Over on the hydration side, the Glow Recipe Toner uses a trio of nourishing plant-based ingredients (watermelon extract to deliver moisture, cactus water to retain it and good old hyaluronic acid) to plump, nourish and create dew. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid that will help boost hydration as well as gentle exfoliants like lactic acid, which also help hydrate, are great ingredients to pair with watermelon,” explains Dr. Libby. “Boosts of antioxidants like vitamins C and E will also pair well.” You've probably heard of salicylic acid already, as it's a popular choice for anyone struggling with breakouts and can be found in plenty of skincare products. Here’s a breakdown of exactly what it does: Do I really need to wipe if off after spraying? Yes! This is of utmost important. Think of this product as a cleanse for your armpits. When you cleanse your face you always wash off the cleanser. Same goes here...You want to spray and then use a tissue to wipe away the bacteria.

The entire watermelon has skincare benefits. “The pulp is loaded with water, which is naturally hydrating for dry skin,” explains Dr. Libby. “The rinds are used to help skin irritations and help hydrate and repair skin. The seeds are made of protein and are fortified with fatty acids to help plump and hydrate skin.” Will this work with any deodorant or does it have to be an all natural deodorant? This product will work with ANY deodorant and/or antiperspirant. This formula acts as a radiance-boosting hyaluronic acid face mask with added amino-rich watermelon extract. The Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask also has pore refining AHAs that help to gently exfoliate the skin. Giving you more of the fruity fan-favourite - the original (150ml) bottle and an adorable mini (40ml) vial - Glow Recipe's limited edition Watermelon Glow PHA + BHA Pore-Tight Toner Home & Away Kit is the perfect way to decongest and tone for a practically poreless-looking complexion. Known as one of the best selling skincare products at Sephora, the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask is not your typical face mask. It’s shiny, slime-based consistency is luxurious and bouncy, which works to smoothen and perfect skin overnight. If you’re worried about staining your sheets, there’s no need to sweat as this mask is pillow-proof.In the Women’s Health Lab, we turned to our panel of 343 women, asking them to trial 26 BHA exfoliating toners to see what impact they had on skin after a one-month period. And remember, always follow up any exfoliating product with SPF, as they can make skin more vulnerable to sun damage. How we test I say it's always a good time to and relatively harmless to add to any skincare routine,” adds Dr. Libby. “Also, the reminder of summer days will be welcome now!” How should you add watermelon to your routine?

Take an individualised approach, as it depends on a few things including your skin type, individual lifestyle, how much makeup you wear, and the strength of the BHA-based product. Everybody's skin is unique,” says Dr Veraitch. First thing's first, what exactly are BHAs? Although the science-y term may sound intimidating, BHA stands for beta-hydroxy acid and includes the likes of salicylic acid in its family.

In short: it’s going to take a second. “You may notice more immediately that your skin may be calmer and less red or irritated,” says Dr. Libby. “But for longer-term effects, as for most skin products, it takes at minimum 30 days before your skin cells turn over and you can start seeing real benefits of using your products.” Is it suitable for all skin types? What skin is it best for? Acne, dry, sensitive?
