These leaves are effective in helping reduce inflammation and kill acne-causing bacteria.

Brilio.net - Acne is a skin disease characterized by swelling of the skin with blood and pus. This generally occurs due to blockage of skin pores by a combination of dirty dirt, sebum and dead skin cells. This blockage triggers bad bacteria on the skin to multiply rapidly, causing inflammation.

In the process, inflammation can cause the skin to form acne. One main condition that can trigger acne is large pore size . Hot weather conditions accompanied by pollution can stimulate the opening of skin pores, making it easier for dust to enter and causing blockages and inflammation in the skin.

Apart from that, significant hormonal changes during puberty or menstruation can also stimulate the production of excess oil which widens the pore cavity, making it easier for pore-fighting female acne to form. If not treated properly, acne can lead to wounds in the skin. This is because continued inflammation can damage the skin barrier or the walls of the skin follicles that surround the pores.

If the protective layer is damaged, this will lead to wider tissue damage and cause deep wounds to form. If you face this problem, you don't need to be confused. The reason is, you can use many natural ingredients which have effective properties in reducing this acne problem. One way is to simply use a mixture of neem leaves and egg white.

Summarized from the NDTV page, neem leaves have many benefits in treating acne thanks to their antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. The ingredients in it, such as nimbidin and nimbin, are compounds that are effective in helping reduce inflammation and kill bacteria that cause acne. Apart from that, neem also contains antioxidants which help cleanse the skin and speed up the skin healing process, so it can help restore the size of pores to tightness.

Egg whites actually contain a high protein component, namely albumin. Albumin functions as a natural tightening agent for the skin. This component can help tighten pores and reduce excess oil production, thereby reducing the risk of pore blockage. Apart from that, egg whites also contain lyzozyme, a natural enzyme that helps fight bacteria and reduces inflammation on the skin which can trigger acne.
