Preparation of Herbal Face Pack Cum Scrub using Papaya and Neem Extracts

Abstract

More than 85% of youngsters suffer from acne, one of the most common skin problems. Acne normally begins around adolescence and gradually goes away by the time a person is 20 years old, while some people continue to suffer from acne well into their 40s and 50s. It is frequently written off as a self-limiting condition even though it is rarely life threatening. It receives little consideration in undergraduate or graduate education. Despite appearing to be cosmetic, its effects can penetrate far deeper than the skin's surface and can cause patients to experience severe emotional and psychological distress that may be even worse than the physical symptoms. The alteration in the look of the skin could result in a modified body image, which is known to provoke emotions such as rage, fear, humiliation, anxiety, melancholy, embarrassment, and bullying and stigmatisation among peers. Acne's side effects have also been linked to low self-esteem, social retreat, feelings of inadequacy and inferiority, less job chances, functional and interpersonal issues at work, and suicidal thoughts. According to estimates, the decline in quality of life is comparable to that caused by epilepsy, asthma, diabetes, or arthritis.
