My skin got brighter!

Hellosunshine · #1 Apr 27, 2008, 07:38 PM

I am so close to evening out my skintone! I've been applying licorice extract mixed with green tea and distilled water everyday for three weeks and I've noticed great improvements. My skin is so clear and glowing from the antioxidants in the tea and my skin is also brighter from the licorice extract.

I also use a exfoliant to remove dead skin cells. I've gotten great results and will definitely continue this regiment. To be honest, I wasn't expecting great results.

What Do You Use> Wear Do You Get You Sutff From?

I use non-alcoholic licorice extract that I bought from amazon.com along with loose green tea. I put a high dose of licorice extract along with distilled water in a spray bottle. Then I add loose grean tea in to make a mixture. I also exfoliate. I put it on at night on my face and neck and sleep with it. I don't remove it.

Have patience but you notice you glowing skin right away!

Hey, how do you apply the solution. Do you spray it on your face? i dont get it

How many shades have you lightened?

Hellosunshine · Apr 30, 2008, 10:58 AM

I just use the spay bottle as a container to hold the mixture. What I really do is just spray the product on my hands then just apply generously to my face. You could use any container really.

As of now I would have to say I've lightened 1/8 of a shade. It doesn't seem all that much, but trust me It felt like 2 shades lol. I think I will just keep sticking to it. I am also planning to take vitamin c pills. The more potent you mixture is (meaning higher percentage of extract), the better the results.

what happens if you put 90-100% extract on your skin?
