I bought some licorice root from 'hollands and baretts' when I heard it helps with skin lightening. I have asian skin which isn't light or too dark but I'd like to even out my complexion. Is there a way I can prepare licorice root to make some sort of cream or oil that I can apply to the face that will work effectively. Please provide simple instructions. I've been advised to chop it up and boil it in oil. I was thinking of adding lemon juice to that too as vitamin C helps with lightening skin.
