One woman may have found the answer.
Melanie Sandford shared a skincare hack via a video on her TikTok channel @melaniesandford18.
She often uses the account to share anti-aging 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 she has no Botox or filler.
Instead, her secret to staying young is rubbing watermelon on her face.
She said, “Don't throw away your watermelon rinds,” she said.
Melanie explained that instead of throwing the crust away, freeze it and then rub it on your face.
She said: “Watermelon rinds are high in lycopene, which means they help fight oxidative stress that leads to signs of aging.”
The skincare expert added: “Watermelon rinds are high in vitamin C, which helps boost collagen production.”
She said the peel will also help smooth your skin tone if you have hyperpigmentation.
Melanie said the crust “will work as your toner.”
“The best thing about it is you can put it in the freezer and use it again,” she said.
Melanie said she was “stunned” by the hack.
Watermelon is super cheap and can be bought for just €2 in the supermarket.
Plus, you can enjoy it as a healthy treat before using it on your skin.
Melanie's video has clearly made an impression on many, as it has already been viewed more than 43,000 times.
