Benefits Of Neem For Skin

Neem proves to be a miracle for people with problematic skin, thanks to its anti-fungal and antibacterial properties. Neem is a boon for people with sensitive or oily, acne-prone skin.

Neem contains Vitamin C, which helps in getting rid of skin problems like blackheads, pigmentation, dullness and aging, thus leaving the skin with a youthful glow. Here are some ways in which you can use neem to get that glowing skin you have always wanted:

1. Clears Acne & Dark Pigmentation

Boil  about 20 neem leaves in half a liter of water till the leaves are soft and discolored, and the water turns green. Strain and store in a bottle. Use this liquid as a skin toner by just dipping a cotton ball into it and wiping your face with it every night. Regular usage will help in clearing acne, scars (2), pigmentation and blackheads.

2. Prevents Recurrence Of Blackheads

In case you have a very sensitive skin and are suffering from blackheads, dilute neem oil with water and apply it over the blackheads (3). Make sure that that you don’t use more than 2-3 drops of neem oil. Applying this regularly will help you in getting rid of blackheads and also prevent them from coming back.

3. Treats Skin Infection

To get rid skin of infection, prepare the concoction as mentioned above and add about 100 ml of it to your bathing water.

4. Prevents Acne Breakout

To get rid of acne, take about 10 neem leaves, boil them with small segments of orange peel in a little water. When they become a little soft, let them cook a little and then pound them into a pulp. Apply this to your face and let it sit till it starts drying after which you can rinse with cold water. This face pack will help in clearing acne and prevent breakouts (5). It also helps in getting rid of whiteheads and blackheads.

Note: In case you have very dry skin, you can add a little honey and yogurt to this pack.

5. For Clear And Glowy Skin


Another effective remedy for acne and pimples using neem is to make a paste of neem leaves and turmeric and use it twice a week. Regular usage gives you a clear and flawless skin. You can also add some grated cucumber to it as well.

6.For Dandruff

 The antifungal and antibacterial properties of neem make it very popular in shampoos and scalp cleansers, as it can help the skin remain hydrated and eliminate dandruff while strengthening your hair and improving the health of your hair follicles due to its antioxidant content. In fact, it is even used in traditional medicine to stimulate hair growth and prevent male-pattern baldness.

7.Fungal Infections

You can apply neem paste or diluted neem oil directly onto infected areas of the body, including Athlete’s foot. The antifungal effects of neem’s active organic ingredients are rapid and highly efficient, leaving your immune system and skin intact.

8.Diabetes treatment

 The exact pathway of this beneficial effect of neem is somewhat unclear, but there is a connection between a lower deman for insulin in the body and the consumption of neem. Neem’s chemical components optimize insulin receptor function and ensure that the body is receiving appropriate amounts of insulin, which protects against the development of diabetes. Furthermore, for patients who have diabetes, neem can be used to minimize the dependence on insulin therapy.


9.Malaria Treatment

There has been some unconfirmed research that neem can effectively treat malaria symptoms and minimize the danger of the disease, but neem’s more common relationship to malaria is as a natural insect repellent that is nontoxic and highly effective in repelling mosquitoes, which are the main vectors of malaria.

10.Gastric Health

 Consuming neem has been directly connected with a reduction in inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract, which helps to reduce ulcers and a wide range of other intestinal issues, such as constipation, bloating, and cramping. It can also be used as a quick healing antidote for stomach flus and infections that can destroy beneficial bacteria in the gut.

Also, always try and use fresh neem leaves. The neem leaves start losing their benefits as soon as they are plucked from the tree.
