Neem benefits for skin

Loaded with essential antioxidants, neem is also rich in nutrients, loaded with anti-inflammatory properties and a great source of vitamin E. Neem has been used by many for its antibacterial properties and can be found in many store-bought face packs, face wash, and face creams. Most of all, it is perfect to use on acne prone skin. Let us find out how else the humble neem helps your skin. 

  1. It treats acne: 
    Neem leaves are loaded with antibacterial properties that can keep your skin from pimple-causing germs and bacteria and relieve your skin from acne. Neem oil made from organic leaves can leave your skin cool and free from excess oil. You can use neem paste or natural neem oil as a spot treatment to fight acne. You can dilute the neem oil with a carrier oil such as jojoba or olive oil and apply it daily to get that glowing skin you have been coveting. 

  2. It reduces blemishes:
    If you have acne-prone skin, chances are that you are most often left with  scars from  stubborn acne. Using neem for acne is a great idea because it works as a spot treatment to acne and  helps  get rid of the scars it leaves behind. Vitamin E present in neem helps lighten and heal the face from any blemishes and spots. Here’s a quick remedy - Mix a tablespoon of neem powder with a few drops of lemon juice, a pinch of turmeric powder and make  a thick, smooth paste. Apply it on the affected areas  as a spot treatment or as a face pack to keep your skin spotless. You can read all about the benefits of turmeric  for skin care here.

  3. It soothes irritated skin:
    Sensitive skin is prone to skin irritations, rashes, and itchiness. A natural face mask with neem can soothe your skin and relieve it from any ailments. Neem contains higher levels of fatty acids and glycerides, which are meant to calm your skin down. Many creams used for eczema and serious skin-related issues contain neem as its main ingredient. Use neem oil everyday on your face to soothe your skin or apply the neem face mask made out of organic leaves twice a week for 15 minutes.

  4. It fights early signs of ageing: 
    Fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots are all signs of early ageing due to  sun exposure. The moisturising benefits of vitamin E and the antioxidants present in neem help boost skin collagen and improve skin elasticity. Use neem powder or oil as a night treatment or mix it up with sandalwood powder and a few drops of coconut oil  to make a face mask. Include this mask in your skincare routine to reduce signs of ageing. This is also one easy way on how to use coconut oil for acne. 

  5. It deeply moisturises your skin:
    For those without acne prone skin, you can make the most of neem for its moisturising benefits by adding coconut oil into the mix. Use neem and coconut oil for acne fighting benefits. The essential fatty acids and vitamin E are known to deeply moisturise the skin and leave it supple and radiant. People with dry skin often suffer from textured skin with flakiness. Using neem in your daily skin routine can help you get rid of the dryness and enjoy a smooth and supple skin that radiates with a healthy glow. Another good combination of ingredients to moisturize skin is coconut oil and shea butter.
