Belonging to the genus Mangifera that contains numerous tropical fruiting trees, the mango is native to South Asia. It is the national fruit of India, Pakistan, and the Philippines and also the national tree of Bangladesh. Mango extracts were found to act against the UVB-induced skin aging in mice. Mangoes are rich in beta-carotene and vitamin A, and as per a German study, these carotenoids can help enrich skin health. The polyphenols in mangoes exhibit anticancer activity and hence can prevent skin cancer. Vitamin A has also been found to reduce oil production on the skin. The vitamin can also aid skin growth and repair, and reduce fine lines as well. Mangoes are rich sources of vitamin C, and hence promote collagen production for healthy hair. Mangoes are also known to provide nourishment to hair and treat dandruff due to the presence of beta-carotene.
