I’ve never seen Anushka Sharma show any signs of pimples or post-acne scars. No cap, Anushka’s skin is pristine even when looking at her in person, so I’m obviously curious to know about her skincare secret.
The Bollywood actress who is soon to debut at this year’s Cannes Film Festival has a hack up her sleeve, and it’s perfect for treating summer skin concerns.
Anushka Sharma’s Herbal Beauty Secret
In an interview, Anushka expressed her love for herbal skincare and home remedies. The star said, “I am quite fond of herbal skin cures and often apply a homemade neem face pack to detoxify my skin.”
If neem is in Anushka’s skin routine, it’s no wonder her skin is so clear and radiant. Neem is an ayurvedic herb that has been used in India from ancient times to the present day.
Benefits Of Neem For Skin
There are tons of benefits of neem for skin. Neem is antibacterial and soothing and is often used as a remedy to calm skin itchiness during bouts of chicken pox.
Neem also helps reduce excess oil production, clears the pores of bacteria, heals wounds, fades acne scars, boosts collagen production, and is detoxifying. It is a boon for oily, acne-prone skin and it is also a great detox and healing remedy for all skin types in the summer. It is also my personal favourite remedy for treating pimples.
A great way to test out the benefits of neem for your skin is by trying the Organic Harvest Organic Aloevera Gel With Neem & Cucumber Extract for clear skin and hair.
How To Use Neem On Skin?
The easiest way to use neem on your face is to turn it into a DIY face pack like Anushka. You can take fresh neem leaves and grind them to a paste. Mix the paste with a bit of besan and water for oily skin or honey for dry skin and apply it on the face. Rinse it off after 15 minutes.
If you can’t get your hands on fresh neem leaves, stock up on this Khadi Natural Neem Leaf Organic Powder as it is easy to use in DIYs and has all the skincare benefits of the fresh leaves.
Not big on DIYs? Try an OTC neem face mask like the St. Botanica Oriental Botanics Neem, Tea Tree And Basil Anti Acne Clay Mask.
