Aside from being a delicious source of nutrition, a refreshing slice of watermelon boasts a bevy of beauty-enhancing benefits. Rich in vitamins A and C, the low-calorie superfruit boosts our collagen and moisture levels while delivering natural radiance to our skin. And, according to our Instagram feeds, the refreshing summer fruit also makes for an extremely photogenic prop.
Victoria’s Secret angel Romee Strijd was all smiles in Portugal as she protected her sun-kissed complexion with an oversized straw hat and reflective aviators before indulging in a juicy slice of watermelon. Meanwhile, British model Lily Donaldson showed off a killer set of cheekbones while she enjoyed the revitalizing fruit behind the scenes in Mexico.
Surrounded by cactuses, Swedish model Elsa Hosk sunk her teeth into a colorful slice that complemented the red and green stripes on her cozy knit. Elsewhere, a swimsuit-clad Negin Mirsalehi reached for a larger-than-life portion while taking in the picturesque waters of Cyprus.
Since watermelon is mostly (you guessed it, water), the fruit favorite makes for a welcome source of hydration while soaking up the sun at a poolside retreat. Even pregnant Candice Swanepoel set a half-bitten slice atop her growing baby bump while she worked on her summer glow.
