Avoid using the mango pulp close to the mango skin. It should be perfectly fine if you peel the mangoes properly; but if you still feel that the fruit is not suiting your skin type, do not use it for your skin care treatments.

  1. sych a wonderful article and the last part where you advised.

  2. Great Article. I’m going to try the tan removal recipe..but do I use wheat flour or maida? ?:) ?:) ?:)

  3. I get bad acne if i eat mango therefore refrain from eating it…..just imagine my plight 😥 😥 but nice compilation somreeta :waytogo: :waytogo:

    1. If you are getting acne while you eat mango, make sure you dip the mango for 3-4 hours in water. If you want it cold you can dip the mango in water and refrigerate it and enjoy it without worries.

      It helps remove the heat from the mango that is generated. I can understand your situation as i used to get lots of acne if i eat mango without dipping in water. Since now when i have started doing this, i get no acnes at all.

      So you can try too. Haven fun, njoy the summer with mangoes. I hope this tip was helpful
