• Dilute Properly:  Pure neem powder can be quite strong and may cause irritation if used in high concentrations, Always mix neem powder with a carrier like water, yogurt, honey, or aloe Vera gel, depending on your skin type, to prevent potential irritation.
• Consult a Doctor for Chronic Skin Conditions: Neem is beneficial for acne, inflammation, and minor skin issues, but chronic or severe skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis may require a dermatologist’s advice, If you have a pre-existing skin condition, consult with a primary care professional before using neem powder regularly.
• Careful Use in Combination with Chemical Peels or Exfoliants: If you use chemical exfoliants like AHAs/BHAs or have undergone chemical peels, neem powder’s exfoliating properties may cause over-exfoliation, leading to irritation or even skin damage, Avoid using neem powder immediately after chemical exfoliation or any harsh skin treatments.
