The neem plant is a medicinal plant used to treat several body disorders including those of the skin. Soap and beauty products manufacturers add it as an antibacterial ingredient in their products. Its extract is commonly used for treating scabies caused by mite infection. It soothes the skin from itching and decreases the redness at the bite spots. You can also use the extract to soothe the itchy sores from herpes simplex virus infection or reduce the symptoms of eczema, which include redness, cracked skin, dryness, and excessive itching. Apply the extract directly on the affected areas for immediate results.

Coriander, also referred to as cilantro, is an aromatic herb commonly used as a spice. The leaves and stem contain a mix of minerals, vitamins, acids, and essential oils that are beneficial to the skin. It is effective in treating blackheads and acne when applied along with lime juice. The leaves also have antiseptic and anti-fungal properties and absorb oil from oily skin, which helps reduce blackheads and control pimple flare-ups. To deal with blackheads, apply the leaves directly on the skin or squeeze the leaves to get some juice. Alternatively, make a paste by smashing the leaves using a mortar and pestle and adding milk. Apply the paste directly on the affected part and let it stay on the skin for about fifteen minutes.
