The combination of mango pulp and oatmeal is ideal to smooth off rough skin and moisturize your face. The rough texture of the oats help remove dead cells while the mango nurishes the skin.
2 tablespoons mango pulp
2 teaspoons ground oats
Gently rub the mixture onto your face for 5 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.
1. What makes mangoes special:
Mangoes are full of vitamins A and C, to boost the immune system and improve vision. They are also rich in fiber, to assist with digestion. Mangoes have a buttery texture and are less acidic than other fruits, which will appeal to most children.
2. When and where to find mangoes:
Mangoes are originally from southern Asia but have been grown in Florida and California for over a century.
3. How to pick mangoes:
Don’t let the color foul you. The red coloring is not an indication of ripeness. Instead, choose a mango that has a slight give when you press it. You can also put your nose to the end and pick the one that has a fruity aroma.
4. Serving tip:
Wash the mango fruit and slice in halves, lengthwise, avoiding the pit. Remove the pit and place the two halves skin down. With a knife, make a crisscross pattern in the flesh and push the mango inside out so you can eat the little squares directly from the skin.
