Notes
Vitamin A and C in mangoes play an essential role in collagen production. Collagen is a necessary protein to keep your skin cells healthy.
It helps protect your body’s connective tissues and the blood vessels, thereby enhancing your skin's glow and elasticity, and slowing down the natural aging process.
Bradykinesia, an enzyme found in aloe vera, helps reduce inflammation when topically applied.
Disclaimer: Please do a patch test to check if these suit you. In case of sensitivity or allergy, you will notice a rash/redness/itching on the area. If you have no symptoms, you are good to go. If you have a skin or hair condition, keep your healthcare expert in the loop before trying anything new.
