We take a look at Rosemary and Licorice Root:

A brief history on Rosemary and Licorice Root:

Rosemary is not just found in your kitchen cabinet! Rosemary has been making its way into our skincare products. The name Rosemary originates from the Latin word Rosmarinus officinalis, which translates to “dew of the sea.”  Rosemary is an evergreen shrub with needle-like leaves and blue flowers that can easily grow to six feet. Rosemary is a member of the mint family and is very aromatic. Now that we know a little history about Rosemary, let’s talk about how this fragrant herb can benefit your skin! 

Licorice Root is the root of the Glycyrrhiza glabra. Known as “sweet root,” licorice root is 50 times sweeter than sugar! Licorice root has been used since ancient times and possesses a ton of skin care benefits. Interestingly, much of this root was found bundled in King Tut’s Tomb, as it was believed to be a remedy for many ailments.  Licorice is a perennial herb and a member of the legume family. Licorice Root is native to Southern Europe and Asia. Now, let’s look at the skincare benefits this sweet herb has to offer!

•  Eat a well-balanced diet that includes vegetables of different colors, healthy fats, complex carbohydrates, and lean meats. Avoid or limit processed foods and foods that contain sugar.
• Apply sunblock and avoid exposure to direct sunlight. Did you know that your skin is exposed to UVA rays while you are driving in your car? UVA rays can pass through glass so be sure to apply sun protectant daily.

• Give it time and be patient. It may take several weeks to see a difference in your skin’s appearance.
