S MAGAZINE ★ 11 AUGUST 2019 19

T

rends often baffle

me. How does

everyone unanimously

agree that one year

we’ll all be wearing

leopard-print midiskirts, drinking

kombucha and asking their

hairdresser for balayage?

This summer, the beauty

industry powers that be

have inexplicably decided that

watermelon is the ingredient

du jour, with a regular stream of

new skin, body and make-up

launches hitting the shelves over

the last couple of months,

packaged in bright, cheery colours

and trailing a mouthwatering fruity

scent in their wake.

There are some claims about

the skincare benefits of

watermelon – hydration, gentle

exfoliation from its acids and a

good source of vitamins and

antioxidants – but to be honest,

it’s really all about the

fragrance or colour. Just

enjoy the juicy scent of

summer 2019 as you

slather these on.
