Benefits of Glycerin on Skin And Hair

Glycerin is used as a natural emollient and leaves your skin with a cooling sensation. It also has the capacity to hold water and hence helps the skin to retain moisture. Another positive point is that it can be used on hair too.

Although it can be applied topically on skin, putting it directly on to your hair will result in a gooey mess. Here's how you can make the best of it.

Curly hair

Having a curly hair is desired b many people but it requires heavy maintenance. The word frizz frightens every curly haired girl. Glycerin helps in drawing air into the hair  shaft. It also works great as a conditioner because curly hair get drier quicker than other hair types because of the shape of the hair shaft.

How To: To make a hydrating glycerin spray mix vegetable glycerin and water in equal quantities. Mix it well and then apply a few drops of it on our hair after taking shower.

Skin

Glycerin intensely moisturizes and keeps skin cells healthy. Healthy skin cells are essential for a radiant appearance. It also fastens the skin healing process and thereby reduces bruising and accelerates the tissue repair process.

How To: Take one part of honey, two parts water or milk and one part glycerin and mix well. To this add oatmeal to get a thick texture and then apply on face. Keep it on for about twenty minutes and then rinse it off. By highly conscious if the climate is non-humid. In such conditions undiluted glycerin will extract moisture from your skin and hair ending up with blistered skin and brittle mane. So don't forget to dilute glycerin with jojoba oil for great effects.
