Sure you can, and it is a great way to clean your face in the morning!

I certainly don’t want whiter skin as noted in this article.

Then certainly don’t use anise!
The article clearly refers to getting rid of dark spots. You will not get bleached.
Please appreciate the effort for correct and unbiased information about herbs and leave the political correctness where it’s needed.

I am making a tea of anise seed. Even though I am a black woman my hair does not respond well with oil however I do need to add some oil to my hair when using tea mixture daily. 1 cup of anise seed course ground 2-3 cups of water in Mason jar sealed. Put on low very low heat. Fill pot half way with water put Mason jar in water let simmer 4-6 hours. Strain seeds with cheese cloth or an old t-shirt
