We have previously told you how, instead of throwing away watermelon rind, you can use it for consumption. That is right, you can make a delectable smoothie, or a dessert, or even a pickle out of it.

So the next time you think of throwing it away, just stop and read this article on how you can freeze them, make little cubes, and give your skin the much-needed pampering. Here is everything you need to know.

Method
