I’m 43 with no wrinkles or Botox – my £2 secret to perfect skin can be found in the fridge, & will blow your mind
LOOKING to improve your skin care routine but don’t want to fork out for expensive products?
Keen to banish fine lines and wrinkles but don’t want to use botox or filler?
One woman may have found the answer.
Melanie Sandford shared a skincare hack via a video posted to her TikTok channel @melaniesandford18.
She often uses the account to share anti-ageing tips and advice.
Her videos are popular with social media users and she has amassed over 400,000 followers on the video sharing platform.
Melanie, who is 43, has no fine lines or wrinkles and has said that she doesn’t have botox or filler.
Instead her secret to staying young is to rub watermelon on her face.
She said: “Don’t throw out your watermelon rinds”, she said.
Melanie explained that instead of throwing the rind away you should freeze it and then rub it on your face.
She said: “Watermelon rinds are high in lycopene, which means that they help to fight oxidative stress that leads to signs of ageing.”
The skincare whizz added: “Watermelon rinds are high in vitamin c, which helps to stimulate collagen production.”
She said that the rind will also help to smooth out your skin tone if you have hyperpigmentation.
Melanie said the rind “will work as your toner”.
“The best thing about it is that you can put it in your freezer and use it again”, she said.
Melanie said her mind has been “blown” by the hack.
Watermelon is super cheap, and can be purchased from the supermarket for as little as £2.
What’s more, you get to enjoy eating it as a healthy treat, before using it on your skin.
Melanie’s video has clearly left many impressed, as it has racked up over 43,000 views.
