Mango is my favorite fruit. I often make a smoothie with mango to enjoy in the hot days. Mango is not only good for health but also for beauty care. Mango is full of vitamin C that helps reduce skin aging and promotes skin elasticity. Plus, this fruit comes with antioxidants and phytochemical, which offer the skin the nourishing boosts. So, using mango on the skin will make it become beautifully. You should not skip it to care for the skin. Now let’s take a look at these mango face mask recipes!

1. Mango Face Mask For Hydrating

As mentioned above, mango is high in vitamin C and potassium that keep your skin smooth, supple and soft. So this face mask is best for people having dry or combination skin. It’s advised to follow this mask regularly to make the skin look lustrous and healthy as well. Besides mango, this recipe also contains two more ingredients- honey and yogurt. Yogurt is loaded with B-vitamins, zinc and lactic acid, which help hydrate and moisturize the skin. Especially, the live cultures housed in probiotic yogurt can destroy the harmful bacteria as well as other germs on the surface of the skin. Honey, on the other hand, is natural humectants. The antibacterial, antifungal agents present in honey help get rid of acne caused due to bacterial. Here is the recipe you should try:
