GLYCERIN

Today, am back to the ingredient list.. Lets talk about the benefits of GLYCERIN on your skin.

Glycerin attracts moisture onto your skin which is why it is considered a humectant.

Moisturizing

Glycerin absorbs water from air and retains it on your skin making it soft. .

Smoothing

As skin ages, it cannot retain moisture as well and this causes rough, dull skin that is prone to irritation and redness, but using glycerin regularly can prevent these problems associated with dryness. It also helps your face seem smoother by filling in the microscopic cracks in the dry skin.

Healing

A study in 2002 showed that a cream with 20% glycerin was able to successfully treat skin that was dry and eczematous without the irritation associated with traditional treatments.

Protecting

Because of its dual ability to hydrate the skin and fill in gaps in dryer skin, glycerin is able to protect your face by keeping the outer layer of the skin intact. This layer is essential as it is the natural barrier protecting you from pollutants and disease-causing organisms.
