Whitening Olive Moisturizer

My skin is light beige with yellow undertone, but like most Asian women, I'm always looking for a way to have lighter skin. Whitening Olive Moisturizer is basically a variation of the Olive Moisturizer, licorice extract (I've used my homemade licorice extract) has been added to provide a skin lightening effect.


This cream is not my latest creation, but I've used a few batches last summer (yea, I'm lazy and I didn't blog about it until now....). I actually like this cream very much!!! Like the Olive Moisturizer, it's perfect to be used in hot summer days. The texture is light, very easy to be absorbed and provides a weightless base for my makeup. The scent of the licorice extract is quite strong although it doesn't bother me at all (Strangely, I like the smell of Chinese herbs), some people might not like that. And for the whitening part, don't expect drastic result in a short period of time, but it does help to even out my skin tone a bit.

Ingredients: Distilled water, EVOO, Licorice Extract, Glycerin, Creagel, Preservative
