I always had smooth skin and never felt the need to look after it besides the normal skin care routine I was practicing since long,,come 2010 and my face started breaking out like crazy,,It was like a bunch of red spots on my cheeks and rest of the face crystal clear.. :|
Honestly speaking ,, I never took this issue seriously,, I was not bothered much because allot of other stuff in my life was taking my full attention, so it was something that caught my attention quite late.
My problem with acne was this ~ 3-4 Active acne on my face with a bunch of red spots..nothing too severe but yes It started making me feel a bit low because I am that kind of a person who likes to doll up every single day :D LOL
Long story short,,,I wanted to get rid of the acne but did not had the time and patience to go for treatments or even using creams to curb off that issue completely,,in short,,a lazy bum,, ;)
So, I started asking my mum about if she ever had this issue or if any of her sister had it in their young days(I wanted to ask things that dated some 25-30 yrs back because I thought they would be completely natural and nothing cosmetic ),, My mum never had this issue but one of her sister had and she was cured by using Neem leaves,,leaves churned and mixed in hot water and then made to drink. Honestly speaking I didn't had the guts to gulp down Hot Neem water,,but this idea caught my fancy to a great extent.
A couple of days later I came up with this small method which I had used consistently for 3-4 months ,3-4 times a week and voila,,,I am acne free,, ACNE free for last 5 months,,no spots,,no breakouts,,no redness,,completely cured.
But I do use it like once in 8-10 days as it also serves as a great hydrating mask for my skin :)
Enough of blabbering..
Here's the read deal..
Ingredients used :
1. Neem powder or Azadirachta Indica
2. Sandalwood powder or Santalam Album
3. Fresh home made natural yogurt (dahi)
4. Turmeric powder or Curcuma Longa
5. A mixing bowl and a spoon
Step 1.
Take a bowl and add a pinch of turmeric powder (haldi) (Curcuma Longa) in it, just a pinch,,no more than that else your face will turn all yellow :D.
Step 2
Add 2 big spoons of fresh home made chilled yogurt (dahi) into it. Use fresh one, even a day old will also work fine.
Step 3
Add 1 Tablespoon of Neem powder (Azadirachta Indica) and equally add 1 Table spoon of Sandalwood powder(chandan) (Santalam Album) or into it. Use equal quantities please.
Step 4
Mix well..if the consistency is runny then add equal amount of Neem and Turmeric powder. If consistency is thick,,add a spoon of yogurt. It should be like a soft paste- easy to blend but non-dripping.
Step 5
Clean your face, pat dry and apply this paste on your face,,please leave your eye area and your eyebrows.
Leave it until it semi dries off. Wash with normal water and pat your skin dry. No need to use cream after it as the Yogurt is doing all the moisturizer part over here.
Sleep well and let this thing show wonders within a week.
You are going to love it for sure.

Neem powder or Azadirachta Indica powder
(In India, the plant is variously known as "Sacred Tree," "Heal All," "Nature's Drugstore," "Village Pharmacy" and "Panacea for all diseases". Products made from neem trees have been used in India for over two millennia for their medicinal properties: neem products are believed to be anthelmintic, antifungal, antidiabetic, antibacterial, antiviral) source wikipedia
Neem powder ~ Azadirachta Indica |
Neem acts as an antibacterial product on your skin, which not only heals the active acne but also clears all the bacteria within the skin layer and stops skin from breaking out. Result : clear skin without any redness.
Turmeric powder (Haldi) or Curcuma Longa
Turmeric powder is used on skin as it has antimicrobial properties and even anti-ageing agents.
It helps in disinfecting and makes skin color even on your face.
Sandalwood powder (chandan) or Santalam Album
It has antiseptic and antimicrobial properties, and is used on skin to remove blackheads and acne spots.
Sandalwood powder (chandan) or Santalum Album |
