Could the queen of refreshing fruit also become the key to an ultra-hydrating beauty regime? According to Pinterest via Popsugar, the search for "watermelon extract" has gone up 229 percent, and in the beauty market products with the new trendy ingredient can be seen in all forms.

So why is this particular extract on the fast-track to becoming a beauty holy grail? The fruit alone consists of 92 percent water and, when extracted for placement in beauty products, it can provide a moisture restorative and antioxidant packed assistant for your skin. The seeds of the watermelon house their own power as well. Dr. Tess Mauricio shared with Shape magazine that the seeds contain linolenic acid, which is "an omega-6 essential fatty acid that plays a vital role in maintaining healthy skin function and appearance." Essential vitamins and proteins are found in watermelon seed oil as well.

Now that you know the backstory, here are some watermelon infused beauty products for you to try at home to bring those sweet benefits to your own skin:
