Oi! Oi! Neem

Neem leaves are traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine to cure almost any skin ailment. In India the Neem tree is called as the "Heal all" tree.
It is believed to have anti fungal, antibacterial properties and is a popular ingredient in face care products that target acne prevention and cure.

Herbal face wash - Ayurveda for your skin, gets rid of bad skin karma!

This face wash prevents pimples. It really does. I use this on those days when I know what I've done is going to result in a pimple ( we all know - right after too much fried food, right after a day in the sun, right before your period and so on). This is suitable for all skin types. 
The feel of it - its a soap free gel based face wash. The after effect is clean, soft and supple skin and no over drying. 
Key ingredients - each gram contains 50 mg extracts of Nimba ( Azadirachta indica) which is Neem and 5 mg of Haridra (Curcuma longa) which is Turmeric 
It contains no harmful chemicals in it.
It is an Ayurvedic proprietary medicine.
Cost - 50 ml costs INR 45 ( Almost 1 USD) and its available at your nearby super market
What I love about it - the fact that it really actually works on preventing pimples, I would combine this with a satvic ayurvedic diet - it just makes  you feel right 
Flip side - doesn't work on existing pimples rapidly. It is an ayurvedic product , it doesn't work as a chemical that will zap out your zit. But that's also what we love about it !
Rating  - 3/5 - I don't feel like using it all the time because my skin isn't acne prone.
