Skincare Tips

One of the beauty secrets geisha have been using for more than 300 years is bright skin licorice root to brighten their skin and even their skin tone. Now, it’s available to you in a fabulous booster serum. Licorice root was used in ancient Egypt thousands of years ago. Its medicinal properties have been used continuously by healers in all parts of the world ever since. While it treats a multitude of health conditions, Eminence Organic Skin Care has discovered it improves and enhances the appearance of your skin. Exactly what is it about licorice root that improves your skin? The juice of licorice root is a very sweet, syrupy liquid with plant sterols. Plant sterols work on your skin the way they do on the plant – they make it more elastic and fight inflammation. As we age, our skin loses its elasticity, causing it to sag. As our skin swells and shrinks in response to our environment and health, this loss of elasticity prevents our skin from springing back to its normal position and results in wrinkles. Whatever we can do to promote skin elasticity is important in keeping, or restoring, young-looking, firm skin tone.

Powerful Boost Against Inflammation with Bright Skin Licorice Root

Bright skin licorice root also contains glycyrrhizin, an acid that promotes the production of natural steroid hormones our skin generates, replacing these hormones lost as we age. Finally, licorice root soothes the inflammation. Inflammation is the redness, swelling, rash and itching that results as our body attempts to expel infection when exposed to irritants. Licorice root gives your skin a powerful boost against inflammation, so your skin is clear, calm and glowing. Licorice root has also been used in fading dark spots and scars and lightening, brightening the skin. One of its ingredients is glabridin, which has a dual benefit: it lightens darkening skin and it blocks the enzyme found in your skin that causes your skin to darken when exposed to the ultraviolet rays of the sun. Licorice is a green leafy plant – the medicinal qualities are in its root. The licorice that we eat as food, or use in flavoring foods and drinks is not the same.

Natural Gifts Come from Bright Skin Licorice Root

Eminence Bright Skin Licorice Root Booster-Serum uses only pure licorice root and not the confectionary parts of the plant. It is not uncommon for many skin products advertised as having licorice to actually contain the herb anise, which is often used as a cure for flatulence and food flavoring because its smell is so similar to licorice. The booster-serum also contains lemongrass and stone crop. Lemongrass is antimicrobial, antibacterial, anti-fungal and a natural astringent. An herb originally grown in India and Sri Lanka, it has a sharp lemony fragrance. It is a proven antiseptic that will knock out any microscopic “bugs” planning to attack your skin! It’s even used as a natural deodorant because it’s effective against body odor. Stone crop is an important part of the booster-serum because it, too, works to brighten your skin. It evens skin tone as it hydrates and nourishes your skin with antioxidants. The booster-serum contains the unique Biocomplex formula. It infuses your skin with antioxidants, coenzyme Q10, vitamins and minerals to help reduce the signs of aging and let your skin radiate with health. Treat yourself to the beauty that comes from the natural gifts of the Earth and release the geisha in with Bright Skin Licorice Root Booster-Serum.
