Phytotherapeutic Approach to Skin Care: A Study on the Efficacy of a Herbal Facepack Blend

Background

Skin is an important protective organ and is continuously exposed to environmental pollutants, ultraviolet radiation, microorganisms and other factors that may contribute to acne, pigmentation, dullness, altered skin texture, dryness and other cosmetic skin concerns. Herbal medicines have traditionally been used for maintaining skin health because of their diverse biological properties. Several medicinal plants possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities that may be beneficial in topical skin care. Turmeric and neem, for example, have been investigated for their potential dermatological applications. However, clinical evidence for multi-herbal facepack formulations remains limited.
