Every skin color is beautiful and it will be even more beautiful if it is of even skin tone without any blemishes. This cream will help us achieve an even skin tone while at the same time conditioning our skin well. The base for this cream is mulethi.
Mulethi is the Hindi name and it is popularly called licorice in English. Mulethi extract has wonderful skin lightening properties. One of the big problems with homemade creams is the low shelf life but this cream can be stored at room temperature for weeks together. This cream will treat and nourish even the most dry and damaged skin along with reducing inflammation. It also has anti ageing and healing properties. Regular use will greatly reduce skin ageing too.
LICORICE SKIN LIGHTENING CREAM – INGREDIENTS:
The first ingredient we need for making the cream is mulethi powder. The active compound in licorice called glabridin inhibits tyrosinase which is responsible for causing pigmentation. Licorice also offers skin protection, reduces inflammation and has a soothing effect on our skin. At home, we use the dried licorice root extensively in home remedies and the powder in beauty treatments. It is hard to make liquorice powder at home. When buying liquorice powder, make sure to buy good quality organic liquorice powder. It is also important that liquorice powder is very fine else the cream will be very grainy. If in doubt make sure to sieve if it once before using.
The second ingredient we need is shea butter. Shea butter is a natural butter extracted from shea nuts. Shea butter rich in both vitamin A and vitamin E. It conditions the skin amazingly well and also boosts collagen production. It is a good home remedy for extreme dryness of the skin and people who are suffering from skin problems like eczema and psoriasis will greatly benefit using shea butter. It also has mild UV protective properties. We get both refined and unrefined shea butter in the markets. While buying shea butter, make sure to buy cold pressed organic unrefined shea butter for best results.
The final ingredient we need is a pure unrefined oil. I have tried this recipe using both cold pressed sweet almond oil and extra virgin olive oil, both work really well in this recipe. You can also try other oils like jojoba, rose hip seed oil, argan oil, etc. Whatever oil you are using, make sure to follow the proportion mentioned in the recipe and try to use organic cold-pressed oils.
LICORICE CREAM RECIPE:
Take a teaspoon of mulethi powder in a large deep bowl. Add in a tablespoon of any unrefined oil of your choice. Finally add in two tablespoons of shea butter. I have used raw organic shea butter for
this recipe. Now using an electric whisk or an electric beater beat the
ingredients together well.
If the bowl is not deep enough, the cream will spray all over while mixing. We can make the cream without electric beaters too but we should really beat the mixture hard using a wooden spoon till there are no shea butter lumps and until the mixture gets light and fluffy. At this stage, you can add in few drops of your favorite essential oil if you prefer.
After a few minutes of beating, you’ll notice that the color of the cream changes from darker to lighter color. The mixture also will get light and fluffy. Now switch off the electric whisk and scoop the cream onto a glass bottle and storeit immediately in a cool and dry place. It is important that we store in a cold place away from sunlight else the shea butter will start melting.
To use, take very little amount of the cream and massage it well into the skin. This cream is very very rich and nourishing so use just a very tiny bit each time. This cream will last well for a long time at room temperature, just make sure to store it in a cold place. With regular use pigmentation, scars and spots will start fading very quickly. It’ll also reduce wrinkles and fine lines giving a youthful glow to our skin.
