The Azadirachta indica, commonly known as neem, nimtree or Indian lilac,[3] is a tree in the mahogany family Meliaceae. It is one of two species in the genus Azadirachta, and is native to the Indian subcontinent. It is typically grown in tropical and semi-tropical regions.
Neem trees also grow in islands located in the southern part of Iran. Its fruits and seeds are the source of neem oil. They are not only used as a cure for fever and malaria.
Neem leaves are the ultimate natural remedy for pimples, acne and skin infections because they have antiseptic, antifungal, antioxidant, astringent and anti-inflammatory properties. Application of neem oil or paste of neem leaves helps in rejuvenating the skin and repairing the existing damage.
If you are using neem oil, just dab it directly on the pimples, wait for 30 minutes and wash off with water. And if you are using neem leaves, then make a paste of the leaves and apply it on the pimples, leave it on for an hour and then wash it off with water.
