Summer is here and that means mangoes. The delicious fruit is one of the few pluses of the long hot summers in Pakistan. But aside from the obvious fact that they are yummy to eat, mangoes have other beneficial uses as well. It turns out that mangoes are beneficial for the skin if applied directly. This novel information was brought to us by Model Nadia Hussain through her official Instagram page.
Hussain is known for her glowing and flawless skin. In the video below that she posted on Instagram, the super model advises a mango facial for clear skin.
"The nutritional values of mango are in abundance, from vitamins to minerals to antioxidants. It’s a harmless (unless you are allergic) and natural approach to use mangoes to care for and maintain healthy skin. So, what’s so healthy about a mango?," the model wrote in the post accompanying the video.
We all are aware of the benefits of applying lemon to the skin. Lemon juice is great for combating tan due to the fruit's rich vitamin C content and mangoes are also rich in this vital vitamin.
"Vitamin C – this important vitamin reduces the damage induced by the sun’s UV rays, although it’s not a sunscreen, it protects against free radicals. Administering vitamin C topically (through the skin) has a better effect for this than taking it orally. It can likewise reduce inflammation caused by acne and lighten the skin," she added.
The model also said that mangoes are a good source of Vitamin E, which aids in anti-aging process and helps reduce fine lines on the face.
