History Of Neem

Benefits

A neem face mask can provide countless benefits to your skin by promoting an even skin tone, reducing blemishes and redness, fading signs of aging such as wrinkles and fine lines, and helping your skin stay healthy. Its antioxidant nature can really benefit people suffering from aged or sun-damaged skin by getting rid of their dark spots and hyperpigmentation.

Neem has Antibacterial and Antifungal Properties: 

Neem’s antibacterial properties help fight and prevent acne, get rid of bumpy and irritated skin, and calm it down without drying your skin out or causing any damage to your skin barrier. In conjunction with its antibacterial properties, it is also antifungal which fights fungal acne and prevents your skin from developing related infections. It decreases the frequent occurrence of blackheads and whiteheads as it extracts the gunk and impurities trapped in your pores and also helps in shrinking them.

Neem for Breakouts, Aged and Damaged Skin:

Neem can also be used to protect your skin from pollution, harmful UV rays, and other damaging factors in the environment. It is also very effective in treating scars left behind caused by previous breakouts and achieving youthful and younger-looking skin as it contains vitamin E that essentially tightens the skin and brings back its natural elasticity. It actively helps calm red, burning, swollen, or inflamed skin as it is rich in antihistamines.

Neem for Healthier Hair:

Neem is also very beneficial for your hair since it treats dandruff and offers relief from all the irritation, inflammation, and itchiness that come with it. It can also be used to prevent the premature growth of grey hair as the antioxidants in neem limit the activity of free radicals.
