Natural Ingredients: Licorice and How It Will Benefit Your Skin?

Hi Klevies! Have you ever heard about licorice? This is one of the natural ingredients that you might have found on your daily life. But, do you know what licorice is and how it will benefit your skin? Let’s dig further about this ingredient below!

Licorice is a herbal plant that is often consumed and has had medical benefits since the ancient era in Southern Europe and parts of Asia like China. The extract of this plant also has a myriad of benefits for the skin and is considered one of the most popular skincare ingredients.

Not only is sensitive skin-friendly, but licorice extract is also rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties to help fade dark spots. Furthermore, when used in a long term, it can provide a brightening effect for the skin!

Licorice contains glycyrrhizin, an acid that increases steroid hormones in the skin naturally, able to fight several skin disorders such as rashes, swelling, itchiness, and redness due to dermatitis conditions. Licorice extract is also able to soothe skin irritation caused by certain skin care products and medications.

Rich in anti-inflammatory properties, cleansers, face creams, and any other skincare products that contain licorice can effectively treat skin conditions like rosacea, eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis by as much as 1 to 2 per cent. Using licorice consistently can not only brighten your skin but also able to disguise dark spots and blemishes. The glabridin content in licorice plays an amazing role in reducing hyperpigmentation and other skin damages caused by sun exposure.

Potent antioxidants in licorice extract can fight skin-damaging free radicals. Other brilliant ingredients in licorice, licochalcone also acts well to control oil production in your skin and is very helpful to act as anti-acne due to excess oil production and clogged pores.

Overall, licorice doesn’t potentially irritate the skin or cause any allergic reaction to the skin. But just like any other skincare ingredient, it depends on how it mixed well with the other ingredients contained in one product and how acceptable it is for your skin.

Sea Buckthorn Cleansing Gel and Sea Buckthorn Essence Toner is absolutely the right choice when you want to claim all good benefits from licorice as your daily treatments. For even better results, we recommend you to spare 10-15 minutes of your free time to relax and deep-cleanse your skin 2-4 times a week with Rose and Sea Buckthorn Pink Mask that is capable to brighten, deep cleansed and diminished acne scars and dark spots with its wonderful licorice content!

So Klevies, from all the benefits above, which one do you think you need the most?
