The festive season is knocking on the doors. Diwali brings positive energy, prosperity, and a joyous occasion to celebrate light, love, and life. But it also brings the rush to get back your natural glow. So this year, let's break the orthodox pattern of using chemical cosmetics and set a natural skincare regime with the miracle herb; Neem.
Neem is one of the world's most versatile and effective ingredients and may be one of the only few elements with 140 active compounds. As a result, it has many uses, from healing wounds to beautifying skin. Neem is a fruit-bearing tree belonging to the legume family (Fabaceae) and is known for its medicinal and cosmetic uses. In Sanskrit, it's called 'shandilya', which means 'the great destroyer'. Neem has been used as a remedy for centuries by traditional healers and Ayurvedic physicians. In addition, its properties have been documented in ancient texts such as the Charaka Samhita (3rd century BCE) and Sushruta Samhita (6th century BCE).
Neem has been used for centuries to treat various skin conditions. The herb's anti-inflammatory properties help to reduce redness and swelling, while its antiseptic effects kill bacteria, which can lead to acne when left unaddressed. You can also use neem to treat eczema, psoriasis and other skin issues caused by bacteria or fungi. Neem oil is a unique product that combines the goodness of neem with essential oils such as lavender oil and tea tree oil. These two ingredients work together to soothe irritated skin, leaving it hydrated and soft. Many dermatologists suggest Neem oil for the face because it reduces skin breakouts and unclogs dirty pores. The only downside is that you have to apply it every day – but this will become second nature after a few weeks.
Benefits of neem leaves for skin:
Anti-bacterial properties: Neem oil kills germs on contact, especially those that cause acne or other skin infections. It also kills fungus and bacteria that thrive in moist areas like the armpit or groin.
Anti-microbial properties: Neem oil can help fight off microbes that cause infections, such as staphylococcus and candida, which can cause pimples and rashes on your skin. It also helps keep your hands clean while in the shower or bathtub, so you don't get scalded by hot water or soap residue if you use them after a shower.
Anti-inflammatory properties: Neem oil contains azulene, which has potent anti-inflammatory properties and works against redness and swelling associated with acne breakouts when applied topically.
