As a kid, momma always pestered me to eat my greens, Which I hated and i am sure all of you did too.
How many times have our mothers said “Apple cheeks, rosy lips?. We most definitely didn’t take them seriously then. Then we grew up. And that lovely baby skin gave way to skin problems and irritation. And I am also sure most of you would have asked yourself why didn’t you just listen to our mother! Just as I did! Fortunately, you haven’t lost that baby skin texture forever.
Here are 8 simple homemade face packs with fruits that will ensure that you regain them.
But before we dive into preparation of homemade packs for glowing skin, here are few tips to make the process easier:
Use fruit packs on cleaned, exfoliated skin.
Blend the fruit well enough so it’s pulpy.
Relax while you have it on your face, because it slides off being all slippery.
Wear not-so-favorite-clothes as your mom will hate staining.
Some fruit masks are too slippery to stay on face. In such cases, add some grounded oats to get a good consistency. This holds good for any runny consistency.
Always extend the mask up to your neck. It gets the same exposure like your facial skin
Mango is the king of fruits, so make way for the “king” in your diet as well as your beauty regime. Mangoes are rich in vitamin A and C, which are anti-cancer antioxidants. They also contain collagen which helps in making the skin smooth and taught, thus reducing pre mature ageing. It is moisturizing, has high hydration power and makes skin smooth and soft. It is suitable for all skin types.
Take a look at following mango face packs and try them at home. These face packs are simple yet very effective.
1. Hydrating Mango Face Pack:
Take out the pulp of a ripe mango. You should be careful while removing the pulp as it should touch the skin of the mango. The skin contains some enzymes which are an irritant to the skin.

Mix them together to obtain a smooth paste.
Apply this pack on the face and keep it for 15 minutes.
