Aloe vera gently brightens the complexion while soothing and hydrating the skin. It is perfect for sensitive skin prone to redness or hyperpigmentation.

4. Lemongrass – For a clear and luminous complexion

Antibacterial and toning, lemongrass helps reduce excess sebum and tighten pores. It visibly improves the radiance of the complexion.

5. Neem – Purifying and brightening

Used for centuries in Ayurveda, neem helps eliminate impurities, purify the skin, and fight against blemishes, leaving skin clearer and healthier.

6. Chamomile – Gentleness and radiance

Anti-inflammatory and brightening, chamomile is perfect for sensitive skin. It calms redness and promotes a soothed, radiant complexion.

Peppermint stimulates blood circulation and provides an immediate healthy glow. It tightens pores and helps even out the complexion.
