The season of mangoes is finally here and I for one, cannot stop gushing over the different varieties to choose from. The antioxidants present in a mango help prevent us from heat strokes and tanning. Vitamins such as A, C, and E help keep our skin glowing and keeps our scalp moisturized. They also improve our complexion and help produce new skin cells. The king of fruits, aka mangoes, are probably a summertime fave for everybody!
While you can eat mangoes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert, not everybody loves the taste (👽). Did you know that you could make a DIY mask out of this summer special fruit?
