Abstract
In the present time both males and females are equally sensitive about their skin. Wrinkles, sun burn, itching, black heads, white heads and un even tone of the skin are the collective difficulties related to skin. Broad use of antibiotics for skin diseases is restricted due to the development of worse antibiotic resistance. Natural components such as fruits, herbs, minerals, leaves, water, land and flowers are now becoming part of skin care and treatment products. Skin care and treatment products are now more advanced, with herbal ingredients to kill infectious microbes and prevent from skin diseases. Herbs contain active ingredients crucial to uphold skin health. Skin products with herbal ingredients are nowadays evolving as a suitable solution to the existing skin problems. In this study anti-bacterial activity of eight different plant extracts was performed against two isolated skin infectious bacteria i.e. Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and E.coli strain was also used. Among eight plant extracts, Azadirachta indica, Curcuma longa, Santalum album, Fumaria indica, Swertia chirayita and Citrus reticulata blanco showed good inhibition of bacterial growth. Afterwards face wash formulation from these extracts was prepared against skin infections.
