It's very expensive to buy watermelon here in the Philippines. That is why I only buy this 'once in a blue moon.'It only gets cheaper during rainy season.I have heard many benefits from this they said it can make you loose weight and rehydrate.But one thing that make me curious is the glutathione which this contains and we knew that sideeffects of too much of intake can decrease our melanin production which leads to skin whitening.So that means it's not only by taking capsule using soap and bleaching are the only way to achieve whiter complexion but through simple eating of these fruits too.Do you agree with my mylotters? We can achieve whiter skin but eating watermelon everyday too. and also beneficial for our health and most especially good for our skin .

I don't understand why the watermelon will be expensive in Philippines. Since it is a tropical country, it shall be suitable to plant the watermelon there. And since Thailand is close to your country, the imported watermelon shall not be so expensive, too. I am not sure whether the watermelon will be helpful to whiten the skin, but I have heard that cucumber and lemon have obvious effect in this aspect. Perhaps they are not so expensive and you can try them instead.

I agree with you, @youless. I don't know why @fearlessgara find watermelon expensive. Is it because you buy the seedless ones and those yellow watermelon? Well, their price is higher compare to other types of watermelon but still it's not so expensive.

yes for it contains vitamin c which doesn't only an antioxidant but gives whitening effect to skin,while too much glutathione we only get whiter if it's overdose for it's sideeffect is skin whitening.

The only fruits known for whitening skin are papaya ,pineapple and the members of the citrus family. watermelon can just re-hydrate skin and get rid of eyebags. On the other hand, Watermelon is actually good for weight-loss, its a fruit you can overeat without worrying about calories. I don't remember any findings that says it can lighten skin.
