Licorice lightens the skin naturally. This is because it contains an ingredient called glabridin. Glabridin inhibits skin pigmentation. Skin redness will be visible on your first use of licorice and aloe gel face mask but will eventually subside after 1-2 days. Skin’s renewal process takes time, so it would take around one month for the skin to lighten. Consistent use of a licorice mask is recommended for at least 28 days before you start to see results.
Benefits of Licorice Roots on Skin
Reduce Dark Spots
Licorice Reduce Inflammation
Licorice has anti-inflammatory properties, so it treats several conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis. It helps to reduce swelling, itching, or the burning sensation caused by such conditions. Some patients suffering from eczema also drink licorice tea and apply licorice cream to reduce their symptoms.
Increase the Skin’s Elasticity
Licorice helps to stimulate elastin and collagen production, which makes the skin bouncier and more elastic. It also moisturizes and rehydrates the skin making it appear plumper and healthier.
Licorice Control Oil Production
Licorice helps to control oil production and therefore reduces acne. It also reduces any redness caused by rosacea and helps the skin to heal faster.
