NEEM, who uses it? In what and for what?

[Skila_Skila]

I have swapped for some Neem eye cream, but I don't see any reviews for it. I visited my Indian Bazaar and saw that they had bottles of it, it's a thick oily and bland colored extract (it separates in it's pure form?). Anyway, I am curious as to what else it can be used for besides eyes.

It's quite affordable in its raw form, and I would like to see what I can do with it. If it helps firm up eye tissue, I may just put it in some cheap lotion and spread it all over my body!

I use Neem shampoo which is GREAT!!! It's for dry scalp - I alternate it with my usual as I don't generally need it but just in case... it smells gorgeous and really keeps my hair glossy and scalp flake free... yay!!!

I only know about the neem powder and oil for your hair and also skin. And what I have heard about it, is that it is very good. I think i am gonna use it also, because of all the raves.

Neem is an ayurvedic plant extract, although i may be wrong. It used to be used directly on the skin in the form of paste (neem powder mixed with rosewater) and applied as a face mask , and washed when dried. It helps dry up pimples/acne and clear up skin. It is still sold in powder form, and people still use that as a mask by making a paste out of it by mixing it with water/rosewater-rosewater works better. A lot of the indian websites/stores have powders in the form of neem, rose powder, sandalwood powder, tulsi, etc etc. They work great, when used as face masks after mixing them with rosewater. Although nowadays Neem as far as i know is mixed in a lot of products creams, lotions, toners, shampoos etc.

I personally love mixing it with rosewater and applying it as a mask on my face and washing it when its dried up. You can also mix the powders to have an multi effect. I hope that helped. It is certainly supposed to be good for ur skin. Although before applying it directly as a paste (rosewater+neem powder) i would first just do an allergic test by applying a little paste on ur elbow... i know the first time i applied it on my face it got a little red, over teh years my face has gotton used to it.. i dont see that reaction anymore. It is strong, however it works!!
