Ok ladies, here is the test i just did tonight !<br />
I used Neem powder to make a light paste and apply it to my face</p>
<p>Here are the stuff i used<br />
- 1 tbs Neem powder<br />
- about 3 tbs of warm water<br />
- 1/2 tbs of grape seed oil</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold; color: #cc0000;">Neem powder</span></p>
<p>Neem powder is highly anti-bacterial, and the leaves have been used for centuries to make anti-bacterial washes and poultices. Add neem powder to cosmetic clays to make a face pack or body wrap that is suitable for acne prone skin. Add neem powder to salt scrubs for skin problems such as eczema and psoriasis.<br />

<p><span style="font-weight: bold; color: #cc0000;">Choice of grapeseed oil</span></p>
<p>I was looking for the oil that would have the properties to fight the dryness of the powder, and i remembered that grapeseed oil is a preferred cosmetic ingredient for damaged and stressed tissues, possessing regenerative and restructuring qualities which allow for strong control of skin moisturization.</p>
<p>It can help skin retain the normal structure of epithelium cells and nerve cells via supporting the cell membranes.<sup class="noprint Template-Fact" style="white-space: nowrap;" title="This claim needs references to reliable sources from February 2007">[<em><a title="Wikipedia:Citation needed" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed">citation needed</a></em>]</sup> It is noted to be especially effective for repair of the skin around the eyes. Used as an all-over skin moisturizer, grape seed oil is known to reduce the look of <a title="Stretch marks" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stretch_marks">stretch marks</a>.</p>
<p><span id="more-56"></span>A light, thin oil, grape seed oil leaves a glossy film over the skin when used as a carrier oil for essential oils in aromatherapy. It contains more <a title="Linoleic acid" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linoleic_acid">linoleic acid</a> than many other carrier oils. Grape seed oil is also usable as a lubricant for face <a title="Shaving" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaving">shaving</a>. In addition, grape seed oil applied to the feet each morning clears up many foot problems such as itching, scaly flaking and odor.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold; color: #cc0000;">My experience</span></p>
<p><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oGrfdGG8fCU/SrP8swvn7VI/AAAAAAAAAKM/rbwPmNHexlc/s1600-h/IMG_3995.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382923825566969170" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oGrfdGG8fCU/SrP8swvn7VI/AAAAAAAAAKM/rbwPmNHexlc/s320/IMG_3995.JPG" border="0" alt="" /></a>This is the wet product on my face. It feels very powdery, and as i haven&#8217;t mixed it well, i still have small lumps in it&#8230; whatever, it is ok.<br />
the scent is weird and gets stronger as it gets dryer&#8230; But i am fine with that as i like Indian products scents &amp; perfumes (ok not all of them, hahahaha)</p>
<p>Product starting to get dry.</p>
<p><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oGrfdGG8fCU/SrQAOwVjt0I/AAAAAAAAAKc/zu0jxmyBO_Q/s1600-h/IMG_4003.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382927708108076866" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oGrfdGG8fCU/SrQAOwVjt0I/AAAAAAAAAKc/zu0jxmyBO_Q/s320/IMG_4003.JPG" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />
I think i applied a way too thick layer so it was taking long to get dry.<br />
I rinsed with luke water, and as i was feeling the grapeseed oil, i decided to do a light skin cleansing with my Medimix soap (check out my video on the tube for that one <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfdeGZQApL0">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfdeGZQApL0</a> )</p>
<p>RESULTS :</p>
<p>My skin is sooo soft, so smooth ! my oh my ! i def think i will do that 1 x week, i kept the rest of my mix in the refrigerator<br />
Look at this close up of my skin after rinsing it out</p>

<p>Ladies if you have the opportunity try it and let me know what you think of it</p>
<p>Ps : try to avoid getting some in your mouth, blaaaah, tastes horrible <img src='http://www.nunaavane.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
