The Korean Skin-Care Secret You’ve Been Waiting for Just Arrived MAY 26, 2017 As Memorial Day approaches—and with it the promise of three full months of sun, long days, and carefree good times—there’s no better time than the present to think positive summer thoughts: bikinis! swimming! watermelon! The sweet, juicy fruit that often accompanies outdoor picnics and dusky barbecues is perhaps the ultimate warm weather symbol. But it’s also packed with antioxidants and free radical–fighting lycopene, meaning the delicious treat happens to be really good for your skin, too. Unsurprisingly, that has helped make it “Korea’s favorite fruit,” Glow Recipe cofounder Sarah Lee reveals in Vogue’s new June issue. Inspired by the DIY recipes she grew up with that leveraged the melon’s effectiveness at soothing heat rash, acne, and sunburns (“my mother used to grate cold watermelon rind to put on my face as a cooling mask,” says Lee), she and partner Christine Chang just launched their own Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask, a gel-textured, radiance-boosting hydrator and exfoliator in one. Here, they’ve also provided a few ideas on how to multitask your leftover watermelon this weekend following an outdoor barbecue for eight—or an indoor self-care party for one. Glow Recipe DIY Watermelon-Rind Mask Step 1: Slice watermelon into discs and quarters, creating 2-inch-thick triangular wedges. Step 2: Remove pink flesh so that only a hint of it remains on the rind (cube flesh and save for snacking). Step 3: Chill rind in refrigerator for at least 10 minutes. Step 4: Using a mandolin, slice the rind into paper-thin pieces and apply directly to irritated skin until the cooling sensation subsides. Glow Recipe DIY Watermelon-Rind Mist Step 1: Slice watermelon into discs and quarters, creating 2-inch-thick triangular wedges. Step 2: Remove pink flesh so that only a hint of it remains on the rind (cube flesh and save for snacking). Step 3: Chill rind in refrigerator for at least 10 minutes. Step 4: Finely grate the rind and strain through a cheesecloth. Step 5: Place clear liquid into a spray bottle and mist onto irritated skin.
