A Herb that Heals-Neem

Benefits of Neem in Beauty Care

By Shahnaz Husain

Neem (Margosa) is nature’s own antibiotic. It has been highly valued in India for its healing and purifying properties. As far as the skin and hair are concerned, Neem contains organic sulphur compounds, which have been found extremely beneficial for the skin and scalp. Neem can easily be used as a home remedy for skin and hair care, not only to prevent problems, but also to soothe and cure.

Neem leaf infusions can be used to wash the skin and hair. To make infusion, first boil water and add the neem leaves to it. Do not boil the leaves, but cover it and let it stand in the water overnight. Next day, strain the water and use it to wash the face and hair. In fact, the water can also be poured as a last rinse on the body. In cases of pimples and acne, or even boils, neem leaf infusion will help. It helps to prevent and soothe heat rashes and prickly heat. In fact, even in itchy conditions, neem leaf infusions will be beneficial. In cases of dandruff and itching of the scalp, neem leaf infusions are very helpful. Use the infusion as a last rinse, after washing the hair.

Neem can also be used with oil for head massage. First heat about 200 gms of pure coconut or sesame seed (til) oil. Take a handful of neem leaves and add it to the oil. Let it stand in the oil for about ten days, allowing it to remain in the sun during this time. Then strain the leaves and keep the oil for use. This is a preventive treatment for rashes, itching and other scalp conditions, including dandruff. It relieves itching and prevents scalp infections.

During humid weather, people with oily skins suffer from increased oiliness. Sweat deposits remain on the skin, leading to rashy conditions. Neem can be used in scrubs for oily skins. The leaves should be dried and powdered and then added to wheat bran (choker) or oats. Add a little rose water and use it as a scrub, rubbing it gently on the skin. It helps to reduce oil and keep the skin free from pimples and spots.

For oily skin, add a few drops of lemon juice to neem leaf infusion and apply on the face. Wash it off after 20 minutes. This also helps to reduce oil and prevent skin problems.

Fruit Power

Use Different Fruits on Your Skin For Magical Results

By Dr. Blossom Kochhar

Fruits have always been the best thing that you can include in your diet to be healthy and fit. And the same holds true for your skin, fruits, especially seasonal fruits can do amazing things to your skin. Including fruits in your skin care routine can give you great results and help you get ‘The, oh so glowing and radiant skin!’. Today I am going to talk about some of these easily available fruits which you can include in your skin care routine, adds Dr. Blossom Kochhar:

1. Papaya – the fruit is magical to remove the dead skin and nourish the skin. Make a pack by squashing 2 tablespoons of papaya, add 1 teaspoon of milk powder to it, mix it thoroughly. Now add a squeeze of half a lemon and 1 drop of lavender essential oil in it. Apply the pack for 15-20 minutes and then rinse it off. You will see your skin will become smooth after the first use only.

2. Lemon – excellent fruit to brighten the skin, it is also a natural lightener for any hair on the skin, therefore acting as a natural bleach. Though, be careful while using it, people with sensitive skin might be allergic to direct use of lemon, so always do a patch test first. Take some sandalwood powder, add juice of 1 lemon in it and finally add 1 tablespoon of lemon. Mix all of it together and apply it on your face and neck. This will lighten all your dark spots; continuous use will lighten the colour of your facial hair as well. This is an excellent pack for oily skin.

3. Avocado – this is a go to for people with dry skin. It has vitamins & minerals that nourishes the skin, so people with dry skin meet your new best friend! To make a pack, smash the avocado into a pulp add 1 teaspoon of milk cream to it and put 2 drops of neroli in it for skin elasticity. Apply the pack on your face for 15-20 minutes. Rinse it off.

4. Watermelon – this mineralises your skin and makes it brighter. Because of the minerals in it, it really gives a natural glow to the skin. Smash 2 tablespoon of watermelon to get a pulp, add 1 teaspoon of rice flour and 1 drop of jasmine essential oil. Apply the pack for 10-15 minutes and your skin will feel so fresh and rejuvenated.
