While we know the beneficial effects that neem and turmeric have on our health and skin, however, very few of us have adopted them in our lifestyles. Mansi & Aditi Vyas, co-founder-Azafran, explains you how to make the most of these two ingredients.

As the dreadful summers are closing in on us, so are the nasty germs caused because of our sweat. Our skin is exposed to pollutants and dust every day when we step out. It is extremely crucial to be gentle on your skin but it is also necessary to get rid of the toxic pollutants that can cause uneven, dull and irritated skin.

Neem is said to be an age-old ingredient mentioned in Ayurveda for its antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Turmeric, on the other hand, helps in dealing with a range of skin problems with its healing and anti-inflammatory properties.

Neem and Turmeric have been proven to contain incredible properties that are extremely beneficial for our skin. The antibacterial properties alleviate skin infections, giving a healthy and natural glow. Many brands these days have been incorporating these two powerhouses of ingredients into their products to help fight many common skin conditions such as redness, itching, irritation, etc. while also repairing your skin from within.

As we step into the scorching summer heat, using a soap infused with the goodness of neem and turmeric is good for our skin and has nourishing properties that will elevate your bathing experience. Neem is a great source of vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids needed for healthy skin. It can help treat a plethora of skin issues. Another amazing quality of the neem leaves is that they are suitable for all skin types. Turmeric on the other hand has anti-inflammatory properties. It helps reduce acne and dark circles while also helping fight signs of ageing. Turmeric hydrates and rejuvenates the skin, making it perfect for dry skin types.

When these 2 ingredients are combined, their magical properties can make the skin naturally healthy, setting the base for flawless skin. These skin-benefiting qualities of Neem and Turmeric make them the ideal ingredients to be added to skincare products.

Few other advantages that these two products offer when combined are as follows:

Anti-Bacterial: Turmeric has a compound called Curcumin (that gives it the yellow colour) and it is known to fight against many pathogens.
