The build up of oil can cause irritation and redness, and bacteria can multiply rapidly. The bacteria can cause infection. Neem provides antibacterial properties and contains aspirin like substances that reduce redness and inflammation. Neem, with its healing properties, can assist in bringing balance and healing to acne prone skin.

Acne is best dealt with in three steps: cleanse, treat and protect. Cleansing your skin, removing bacteria buildup, is the most important step. Most medicated cleansing products use a harsh chemical called salicylic acid which can be drying and irritating. Ideally, cleansing should be done with a mild moisturizing soap, with no abrasives or alcohol. Neem soaps are great for acne because of neem’s antibacterial qualities. It is important however to review ingredients carefully to check for a neem oil base and natural moisturizing ingredients as found in JustNeem’s all natural soap products.

My aunt introduced me to JustNeem soaps about a year ago as a gift. We were both surprised to find it helped my acne. I have had problems with acne for years, and tried many products, including Proactiv without much success. The coconut neem soap has worked wonders! The redness and breakouts have improved greatly. I would recommend JustNeem to anyone who is seeking an all natural, mild soap to improve skin irritations. The extra benefit is knowing the product’s goal of helping families in Mauritania. What a deal!
