Cosmtic uses
Blood purifier and beauty enhancer Neem is highly anti-bacterial and
therefore the neem leaves have been used for centuries to make anti-bacterial
washes and poultices. Use the neem leaves extract in face packs, body wraps, and for
acne prone skin. Add to (mild) scrubs for skin problems such as eczema and
psoriasis. Use in a gardeners hand scrub with corn meal to provide
anti-bacterial cleansing after working in the soil. The
neem oil is used in hair dressings; resin is added to skin lotions.
Neem oil, leaves and neem extracts are used to manufacture health and
beauty care products. Some of such products are soaps, bath powders,
shampoos, lotions and creams, toothpastes, neem leaf tablets to increase
immunity, insect repellents, pet care products, etc.
The margosa oil is used for burning and for hydrogenation. Neem tree is
considered a good purifier of air due to its large leaf area. Oil cake,
obtained from neem seeds, is used as a fertiliser and manure. Neem leaves are used to
repel insects and to preserve woollens. Extract of neem tree leaves is used in soaps.
For acne relief try mixing Neem and Sandalwood in equal proportions and
apply this paste to the affected area. For dandruff relief heat coconut oil
and add a bit of Neem. Apply to scalp once a week
