How Do You Make Homemade Licorice Extract Skin Lightener?
Licorice extract is used in many beauty products because of its ability to lighten and even out skin tone. According to freebeautytips.com, licorice extract contains glabridin, which inhibits activation of the pigment-producing enzyme tyrosinase. The good news is that you don’t have to run out and purchase expensive beauty products. Whip up this simple skin-lightening mask in your own kitchen. Chop 1 cup very fresh cucumber. Place it in a blender or food processor and liquefy. Spoon the liquefied cucumber into a mixing bowl. Add 1/4 cup pure licorice extract and 1 cup sandalwood powder. Mix well with a spoon until a thick paste is formed. Apply the paste to your freshly cleansed face or body. Leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes, then rinse it off thoroughly with cool water. Apply moisturizer to the treated areas. It’s important to keep your skin well hydrated while using skin lighteners. Remember to moisturize well following each treatment. Repeat one to two times weekly until desired ski
