The weather is the only thing that should be dry during the winter months. You don\u2019t have to let the cold dictate the appearance or health of your skin. How do you keep you skin hydrated, though? There are simple natural ingredients, like neem oil, which have been used to promote healthy skin<\/a> in Ayurvedic and Unani medicine for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Neem Oil?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Referred to as \u201cthe village pharmacy\u201d in India, the neem tree grows in tropical climates and produces fruits and seeds, from which neem oil is created. The flowers have been used to treat bile disorders and the leaves have been able to prevent ulcers. Even the bark was used to benefit the central nervous system<\/a>! Neem oil has a potent smell and it has been used to remedy a variety of skin conditions<\/a>, from regular dry skin to eczema and psoriasis<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wonderful thing about the body butter<\/a> in this article is that it contains the tag-team duo of neem oil and lavender essential oil. Both of these oils have anti-inflammatory and analgesic (pain killing) properties. Lavender oil, when used topically, has been known to reduce redness, swelling, and promote the healing of burns and cuts. The combination of lavender and neem oil may be exactly what you need to get through the dry winter<\/a>. Plus, the rest of the ingredients are pretty amazing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
