Introduction
Licorice is also known as liquorice, and its scientific name is Glycyrrhiza Glabra. Its powder has been used for ages as a home remedy for skin care. The main active compounds, contained in Licorice, that are very beneficial for our skin are Glabridin, Liquiritin and Isoliquertin. Thanks to them, liquorice has skin lightening properties, including dark spots, scars and uneven pigmentation.
Magic of Licorice Powder
The benefits of licorice powder for skin
1. Glabridin reduces the damage to our skin, which comes from UV rays. If you happen to be under the sun for an extended period of time, apply a licorice based extract on your skin to ‘reset’ its color back to normal.
2. Liquiritin is the flavonoid, which lightens the skin, including scars and blemishes.
3. Liquorice has anti-inflammatory properties, so it can reduce any skin inflammation.
4. It fixes problems with skin pigmentation, and lightens dark patches that were caused by melasma.
5. If you make a face pack containing licorice powder, it will improve the hydration of your facial skin, making it brighter and plumper.
