Hola Everyone!
Hope the weeks going along fine ๐ Today I have got a really simple and a very effective recipe for skin lightening and pigmentation. Now this oneโs coming straight from my kitchen! Well there is one ingredient which is almost always mentioned in any of skin lightening/brightening products which is โLiquoriceโ also sometimes written as โlicoriceโ. I thought of experimenting this powerful herb with another powerful ingredient and it indeed turned into a potent mixture!
So read on to find out which is the other magical ingredient that will finally answer your prayers for a lighter/brighter skin and an effective anti-pigmentation face pack.
Ingredients for skin lightening and pigmentation face pack:
- Yastimadhu or Mulethi or Liquorice powder โ 1tbsp
- Cooked oats โ 1 tsp (cooked in water if you have oily skin and cooked in milk if you have dry skin)
- Your favourite natural toner or rose water โ to form a paste (I have used my Auravedic toner here to add onto the benefits)
Procedure:
- Cook the oats in water or milk as mentioned above and let it cool
- Add the liquorice root powder and mix well
- Add rose water or any liquid to make a thick paste
How to use this Skin Lightening and Pigmentation Face pack:
- Wash your face with warm water and ensure it is clean
- Apply the pack evenly and massage into skin for 5 minutes
- Leave it on for another 15-20 minutes
- Wash it off with Luke warm water
- Rinse last with cold water and moisturise
- Use this daily or at least thrice a week for 1 month to see the results
Benefits of the ingredients in this skin lightening and pigmentation face pack:
Liquorice:
Liquorice is a great herb in Ayurveda which is not only great for health and throat but also beneficial for skin and hair
- Liquorice as a natural element has a mild smoothing and brightening action
- Used in serums, spot treatments, cleansers, and moisturizers, it helps in the fading of hyper- pigmentation and sun damage for all skin tones in a safe manner
- It blocks melanin production to prevent the formation of hyper-pigmentation. Its usage leaves the skin brighter, hydrated and clearer
- The root extracts are potent for red, acne-prone skin as well as for dull complexions and dehydrated skin
Oats:
- Oats are known for their skin lightening effects as well as improving the skin tone and texture and smoothing out blotchy areas
- They are great skin cleansers as they contain โsaponinsโ
- It creates a protective barrier for your skin and makes your skin very soft and smooth to touch
Bonus tip-Additional Ingredients that you can add:
- Rice Powder โ Great for soft and bright skin
- Raw organic honey for amazing moisturising effect
Donโt make it too complicated by adding various ingredients keep it simple and use it consistently for at least 1-2 months to notice the results. This is one of the best recipeโs to lighten your skin, tan and pigmentation. Also works effectively on dark circles!

Hi! Yes, you can use aloevera gel instead ๐
Hi, great information on licorice powder. Can I mix it in my daily mosturiser? Please advise? Many thanks. Jatinder (UK)
Hi!
Yes you may add it to your daily moisturiser. However, in the moisturizer licorice oil may work better ๐
CAN I USE ANY ‘LICORICE POWDERโ LIKE OTHER BRANDED AYURVEDA COMPANY TOO?CAN I USE IT IN ANY FACE PACK I USE WHICH IS HOME MADE AND HERBAL?PLEASE REPLY.
Hey!
Yes you can use Licorice powder of any brand you trust. Absolutely! you can add it to any homemade DIY skincare you like ๐
Can you tell me a Liquorice powder pack for underarm whitening as well please??? The skin around my armpit is dark and I wanna lighten it I have been trying lemon from past 4 months but itโs just not a HELP AT ALL :((
Yes, you can use oats and licorice for under arms. Hope it helps ๐
Will it work if I just lemon juice add and tomatoes with the powder and make a paste?? And how long does it take for the armpits to get lighter???
Hi Hifza,
Tomatoes and lemon juice are too acidic, it is not advised for armpits! You might end with darker armpits. So please donโt use straight lemon.
You can dilute the mixture by adding aloevera and oats. But lemon only 2 drops not more. Armpits can take upto a month of 3-4 times a week application, to show results.
Can i use only Licorice powder without oats on face ….
Hi Jayshree,
Yes you definitely can ๐
thanx vidhi v…I will try this….
๐ Good Luck!
Hello from Sweden!
I pray to god you can help me!
I have red pronomen skin,no acne.
Licorice in a serum,and facecreams is what is absolutely most effective in reducing the redness.
My question:can i buy Licorice root powder from herbstore(that is designer for using in food) and mixtrat in my facecream???
Or doesnt have to be some sort of liquid licorice??
Cause this is getting expensive,and if i could mix myself it would save me money,cause im far from rich.
It would really mean the world to me ifyou could be so nice and answer.
Have a WONDERFUL day,best wishes Sasha
Hi Sasha!
Thank you for stopping by ๐ ABSOLUTELY YES YOU CAN! Yes, liquid licorice gets expensive and the root powder works fine as well; though not as fast as the liquid one but this will work at a slow pace. You can also mix it in your face masks ๐
Thank you sooooo much ,you ate an Angel!
Iwill order NOW licorice powder that ismeant to be in food from supplement store and just put that in my serum or facecream.
Again,thank you so so much for the answer.
By the way,liquid licorice root in supplement store,isthat ok putting in face cream .
I mean does it have to be purified somehowwith alcohol in it?
Have a splendid summer from Sasha in Sweden
Alwaysssss welcome :* :* :* I havenโt really used liquid licorice from food stores.. but your creams also might have some amount of required preservatives in it so may be its ok to use it. What I would suggest is use it fresh every time. So may be you can mix a few drops with your cream every night before using it!? Guess this should be better ๐ you too have a super fun day! Love :*
Thank you!!!!!
You are so kind hearted!
Avery special woman.
I will do asyou say,starting forst with powder,then try just a feeew licorice drops.
I saw the onewehad in Sweden had alcohol licorice and something else in it i cant remember.
But its a superb Idea,taking my facecream putting fewdropsand mix it together in my palm.
I wish you get more credit and more recognition.
Cause far from everyoneanswer fast and at all likeyou do.
You have a fan in me!!!
Love andhapinessto you,bless you.Xo Sasha
wow! Sasha… Thank you SO much … Talk to you soon :)) :*
I was bit dark since birth… will it show me any benfit… at least some benfit???
Hi Santoshi.. If you are blessed with a wheatish complexion since birth, it means it is genetics and in fact you should be proud of it ๐ But yes this will improve your complexion and your skin texture.. You can also add pure homemade orange peel powder for added benefits ๐
hi..how much quantity of orange peel powder should b used??and how to cook oats in water??they should b cooked in hot water or just mixed in cold water???my face hands and feet are 3 shades darker than my rest of body…i tried many remedies but they all failed to improve my face complexion:(
Hi!
Orange peel powder 1 tsp. Cook oats in water over a flame till they are nice and soft. Switch off flame and let it cool (Keep a little water extra while switching off the flame, since one cold oats will thicken) Once cool, use it in your mask ๐ Use this regularly; iโm sure it will work ๐
Am going to stat using this from today . Thank you ๐
Great! Thanks Anu ๐
I have been using licorice powder nd fullerโd earth in
equal amount mix with raw milk of india Cow.
Is it right process?
Hi Rakesh,
Yes the process is absolutely correct ๐ But try adding oatmeal to it.. it will improve the benefits you get :))
after using this pack can we apply any face cream or foundation to our face and we required to use soap during this pack
Hi.. Yes you can apply cream .. No problem in that. DO NOT use soap to wash your face ๐ Also, you only need to rinse your face with water no need to use face wash as well ๐ Avoid foundation if you can, but if you have to go out then no problem..
Ami yestemodhu ta kenta chai .
Hi..Thank you for commenting, but iโm sorry I did not understand your comment ๏ฟฝ?
I have tried it,but I feel diziness after using this pack..may be thatโs because of the licorice fumes,is anyone else also out there facing similar problem?
