KATHMANDU: Mangoes are one of the most loved fruits of the summer season. Known as the “King of Fruits,” they are enjoyed by people of all ages. But for some, eating mangoes can lead to skin issues like pimples, making it hard for them to enjoy the fruit.

If you also face breakouts after eating mangoes, skin experts have shared five simple tips to help you avoid this problem without giving up your favorite fruit.

1. Eat Less at a Time
Dermatologists say people with sensitive skin should not eat too many mangoes at once. Stick to one or two mangoes per day. If pimples still appear, reduce the quantity even more.

2. Avoid Eating Mangoes at Night
Experts suggest eating mangoes in the morning or afternoon when the body’s metabolism is more active. Avoid eating them at night to prevent skin reactions.

3. Pair Mangoes with Healthy Foods
Mangoes are high in natural sugar, which can lead to oil production and pimples. Eating mangoes with foods high in protein or fiber, like soaked chia seeds, sprouts, or salad, can help balance sugar levels and protect the skin.

4. Choose the Right Variety
Not all mangoes are the same. Some are very sweet and low in fiber, like Alphonso mangoes, while local varieties may have more fiber. High-fiber mangoes help control blood sugar, reducing the chances of pimples.

5. Try Raw Mangoes
Raw mangoes have less sugar and may be gentler on the skin. If ripe mangoes are causing issues, try using raw mangoes to make chutneys or pickles.

By following these simple steps, you can enjoy the delicious taste of mangoes this summer—without worrying about your skin.
