Oi ! Oi ! St John's Wort extracts

Image sourced from healthyfellow.com

Such a saintly effect on your skin! It heals your wounds, it soothes inflammations and irritations, has excellent anti microbial effects and apart from that, the flower is so unbelievably lively ! And guess what? It makes your skin feel exactly the same!
If you buy skin care oil which has this extract it works as an excellent rejuvenator. It also aids in cleansing & toning your skin.
It has strong anti microbial properties and obviously works against acne and blemishes.
A little caveat though - as sunny as the flower looks, it tends to cause your skin to be sensitive under harsh sun. So please use this with your night cream and night skin care routine or winter skin care routine.
This also helps in restoring the skin's natural oil  balance and has a dramatic effect on closing up those angrily open pores.
The extract will look like this - HYPERICUM PERFORATUM EXTRACT

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.
