The cosmetic properties of licorice

The beneficial properties of licorice have been known since ancient times, but only few know that it is also used as a beauty remedy for the skin. Let’s dive into the subject and discover the YA.BE products that contain this precious ingredient.

 

The benefits of licorice for your skin

We are familiar with licorice since we were children, although we usually associate it with the black, intense flavored candies. The healing properties of this plant have been known for millennia; Chinese doctors already used it 5 thousand years ago to treat coughs, liver disorders and food poisoning. But maybe you don’t know that licorice also has important qualities for the health and beauty of your skin.

In cosmetics, licorice is used for its action as a depigmenting agent and for its multiple healing, soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. Licorice extract helps counteracting hyper-pigmentation by lightening the skin, as it limits the production of melanin and is therefore effective in treating skin spots and soothing the effects of sunburn. Its healing and anti-inflammatory properties make it suitable for treating acne and pimples, and even for affections such as psoriasis, eczema and dermatitis. Recent studies have also shown that it is very useful for counteracting wrinkles, especially the ones caused by photo-aging due to excessive exposure to sunlight.
