Homemade Mango Face Masks

By Tiffany Moore

Mango is one of my all-time favorite fruits, and I love pampering my face with it. The beautiful thing about using mango in skincare is, the mango pulp is extremely rich in beta-carotene, which is a powerful anti-oxidant. Dermatologists use beta-carotene in retailed skin care products to increase cell turnover, and enhance skin appearance by increasing skin suppleness.

You don't have to fork out hundreds of dollars to look good and feel great. These luscious yet affordable home facials will leave your skin radiant and restore healthy cell vitality.

The natural fruit enzymes in mango helps to heal chaps, soothe irritations, and protect your skin from free radical damage while immersing you in a heavenly halo of sweet scent... It's delicious natural skin care good enough to eat!

Mango and Honey Face Mask Recipe

Honey retains moisture so your skin feels hydrated and fresh. It also absorbs impurities from the pores in the skin, making it very effective for treating acne.

1-2 teaspoons honey

1½ tablespoons almond oil

Instructions:

Place all ingredients in a bowl; mix well.

Apply on your clean face and neck. Leave the face mask on for 15-20 minutes. Rinse off thoroughly with lukewarm water. Good for all skin types.

Homemade Mango Mud Facial Mask

Mango mud mask is a great way to get spa quality facial on a tight budget. While the fruit is slightly astringent, the combined action of oats, almonds and whipping cream in this homemade mango face mask gently cleanses, smooths and exfoliates your skin.

¼ ripe mango (peeled and seeded)

2 tablespoons finely powdered oats

2 tablespoons finely powdered almonds

2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream*

Place all ingredients together in a small blender, and blend until you get a smooth and creamy mixture.

If the mixture is too thick to spread on your face, you may want to add a few tablespoons of distilled water or hydrosol. If it's too runny, simply add 1 tablespoon of finely powdered oats.

Apply the mask on your clean face and neck. Leave it on for about 15-20 minutes. Gently massage your skin while washing it off with lukewarm water.

Suitable for normal or dry skin. *If your skin isn't so dry, you can use whole milk.
