Neem is an herb that can be used in myriad ways. Whether you want to get rid of that stubborn acne, treat that irritating rash, or need an antiseptic for your wound, neem is the answer to everything.
Neem Face Pack Benefits
A study reveals that neem oil can treat signs of aging that includes wrinkles, dryness, and thinning of the skin. The study was conducted on hairless mice that were exposed to UVB rays.
Neem oil is effective in treating acne. It contains lecithin and solid lipid nanoparticles that kill acne-causing microbes.
Another study published in Brazilian Journal of Microbiology reveals that Neem extracts have antifungal properties. It’s anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, contains antioxidants, and has anticarcinogenic and antimutagenic properties.
Neem is rich in essential fatty acids and vitamin E. And that’s why neem oil can penetrate deep into your skin to treat dryness. Also, it boosts collagen production, which gives you younger looking skin.
Neem is truly a magical herb. Here are a few face pack recipes that are suitable for all types of skin and that will help you bid farewell to your skin issues.
