How much mango butter should I use on my skin, and can I use it on my face?

This is a dense emollient, so it's designed for targeted use. For most body areas like elbows, hands, or rough patches, start with a small amount about the size of a pea, warm it between your fingers until it softens, and then gently pat and smooth it onto clean, slightly damp skin. This helps create a nourishing layer that reduces moisture loss. For the face, use even less—an amount roughly the size of a lentil is often sufficient. Because mango butter contains fatty acids that can help replenish the skin's surface layer, it can be suitable for dry patches on the cheeks or jawline. However, if your skin is blemish-prone, combination, or very sensitive, it's wise to patch-test on a small area of the jawline first and wait 24 hours to see if any irritation appears. It works less like a lightweight moisturizer and more as a sealing, finishing step for specific areas of dryness.
