The chemical name of glycerol is glycerol, which is very absorbent. We usually use glycerol containing 20% water. Applying it to the skin in winter can keep the skin moist and not dry. If pure glycerin is used, it can absorb a lot of water because of its strong water absorption, but it will make the skin dry and hot, so it is not suitable for skin care in winter.

Is glycerol oil or not? Because its appearance is a transparent and viscous liquid, many people mistake it for an oil. In fact, glycerol is an alcohol, which is closer to alcohol. Glycerol is absorbed quickly, which is a good hydrating product for peeling skin, acne scar skin and sensitive skin. As far as I can remember, if the skin is cracked, it will sting a little when I apply glycerin for the first time, but it will ease the next day. In addition to wiping hands and feet, glycerin also has a very good preventive effect on chapped lips. Glycerol containing different ingredients has other functions besides moisturizing the skin. For example, aloe glycerin can prevent facial chloasma and has a slight protection and moisturizing effect on ultraviolet rays; Glycerol containing pearl powder can moisturize and whiten skin at the same time; Glycerol, a component of Ganoderma lucidum, makes the skin look red, smooth and shiny after use. Glycerol containing vitamin C can brighten the skin.
