5 Top Neem Face Packs For Oily & Dry Skin

Neem face packs have wonderful skin care benefits and since neem has wonderful anti-bacterial properties, it is effective for treating almost all the skin problems. I love to use neem face packs often, they help treat acne, dark spots, pigmentation and also helps fade scars and blemishes. The market is flooded with neem based face packs and creams but in my humble opinion, it is best to use fresh neem extracts for the treatment to be effective. These neem face packs can be used for both oily and dry skin.

What Is Neem?

Neem also commonly called margossa is a large tree that is native to India. All parts of neem have wonderful benefits and they are widely used in all forms of Indian medicine like Ayurveda, Homeopathy and Unani and many important Indian herbal formulations contains neem as a base ingredient. For skin care, neem powder, neem oil and neem juice are used, we can use them in the form of face serums, face packs and face scrubs.

Neem Face Packs Benefits

Since neem has anti-inflammatory properties it helps reduce inflammation very fast, if you are suffering from painful pimples it will help reduce both the pain and inflammation. All parts of neem have wonderful antioxidant properties and using antioxidant-rich ingredients is key to glowing skin.

For natural acne treatment, neem is the best and the most effective. Many teenagers suffer from acne which can be very traumatic. Acne is caused by bacteria and since neem is antibacterial and that too an effective one, makes it one of the best for treating acne. Though you can use neem in the form of soaps and scrubs that you get in the markets, using it the raw form is the most effective.

Here in our village, we combine neem with turmeric and use it for fading chicken pox scars. Neem and turmeric face pack I have given below is one of the most effective remedies for fading scars. Neem treats skin allergies and helps reduce itching. If you are suffering from any skin problems, you can apply the neem and aloevera pack that I have given below. It will help soothe the skin and also will help treat it.
