“It’s amazing for your skin and will change your life.”

The water and vitamins A, B6 and C in watermelon keep the skin soft, smooth and supple.

Vitamin C stimulates collagen production, which improves skin elasticity, while Vitamin A helps prepare skin cells and prevents dry, flaky skin.

Vitamin B6 helps against pimples.

And besides eating the popular fruit, you can also rub the peel on your skin, whicha reduction of redness, calming of inflammation and even acceleration of the cell renewal process.

Gigi also shared that she uses a micro-exfoliant on her skin.

Micro-exfoliation removes skin cells in a gentler way than regular exfoliation, polishing the skin and making it look smoother and more radiant.

You can buy a No 7 micro exfoliator from Boots for £8.95.
