After the cold weather, many people’s skin is covered with post-acne from colds, and in the summer pigmentation from the sun also appears. It is difficult to lighten the skin without aggressive acid-based products, but they cannot be used in summer, as they increase sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation. Luckily, there is a plant that works more gently and safely.
It turns out that licorice root is a natural tyrosinase inhibitor. Such inhibitors are used in cosmetology to even out skin tone.
Here's what to do:
Pour a teaspoon of crushed licorice root with a glass of boiling water, let it brew for 2 hours and strain. Wipe problem areas morning and evening or use as a compress for 10 minutes.
The method is especially effective for sensitive skin and during periods of active sun. In addition, individual components in licorice suppress melanin production without causing photosensitivity.
