  • UV Protection - Licorice has natural sun-blocking properties, aiding in UV protection when used alongside sunscreen.
  • Hydration - It helps retain skin moisture, preventing dryness and flakiness.
  • Acne Control - Licorice has antibacterial properties that combat acne-causing bacteria, reducing breakouts.
