Beauty | Flawless Skin with Neem!*

  

For half of my puberty my mom harassed me to drink this herb because it cleanses your body and helps with menstruation issues.. What she never mentioned was clear skin! I would have been chugging!

I spent my teens with pretty pink little breakouts all over my face with the occasional clear skin which lasted a second and a half.. And like many others, an irregular menstrual cycle..

Fast forward 10 years later.. Magic potion rediscovered! The one thing that works for my skin.. I introduce to you, the fabulousness that is the herb called Neem..

In the past, I used to use the Margo Neem soap but that dried my skin out instantly.. It works nonetheless, but it was a continues worry whether or not I was drinking enough water, moisturized enough and whether or not I had dry flakes and patches on my face..

So, since the end of last year, I have been using Neem again just like I used to do in my teens but with a twist.. You're supposed to boil the leaves in some water and drink it like tea but chile, it tastes disgusting.. It's very bitter..

What I do instead is, I take a lot of leaves to boil, I make it very concentrated and instead of drinking a cup, I shot it.. So, I instead of displeasing myself with the ugliness that is the taste.. One shot, one swallow and chug some water behind it and all is well in the world..

Of course I don't do all that work for just one shot.. I take the rest of the herb juice after it's cooled down, bottle it and keep it in the fridge.. I take one shot every day and I use it as a toner.. After washing my face, I take a cotton pad, wet it with the magic potion and bless my face and neck with it.. Let it dry and done!

I have noticed a huge difference in my skin, it's like I'm glowing from within.. My skin doesn't feel dry like when I was using the soap but drinking a lot of water is key to keep your skin naturally hydrated and supple.. It helps so much with reducing pimples, dark spots and pigmentation issues.

Also, make-up applies better and you'll need less.. I only apply concealer under my eyes to hide my designer bags, other than that, my face Gucci!

If you're on the island, there are Neem trees all over, you just need to be able to recognize them.. Are there any other natural magic potions I'm unaware of? If so, feel free to share!
