Glycerin

How to use glycerin for your skin

Glycerin is a little like rosewater or Vitamin C in that it’s one of those ingredients that performs an astounding multitude of tasks—it just depends what you want it to do for your particular skin.

As we said above, however, the main thing to remember when using glycerin is that unless you’re using it in a product like moisturizer in which it is already mixed, make sure you dilute it with something else like Rosewater or vitamin E. When we say glycerin pulls moisture from your skin, we really mean it, and if you use it on its own, you risk pulling too much moisture out and irritating your skin.

FEATURE'S

  • Glycerin moisturizes – Not only does glycerin moisturize the skin, it pulls moisture up from the lower levels of the skin (the dermis) to the upper levels (the epidermis), essentially allowing the skin to help moisturize itself.
  • Glycerin creates a calming sensation – Plant-based glycerin is extraordinarily gentle on sensitive skin in particular and can help alleviate temporary skin discomfort.
  • Glycerin tightens and firms – Use glycerin for a few weeks or even a few days and we think you’ll find that it plumps and softens your look significantly, especially if you have more mature skin!
  • Glycerin protects – By helping to maintain the skin’s protective layer of moisture, glycerin creates a barrier between the skin and elements that might harm it.
  • Glycerin smooths the skin – Find that your skin is looking a little rough after a summer in the sun? Glycerin’s hydrating properties help create a smoother looking appearance to the skin.
