Glycerin


My ultimate beauty secret is Glycerin. I can't get enough of this stuff.


I use Glycerin in alot of different products. Body lotions, conditioners, water mixes. I also use a glycerin- based soap.





What is Glycerin?


Glycerin is a humectant, meaning it attracts moisture to your skin.

Glycerin is a water-soluble conditioning alcohol and is an extremely effective moisturizer and humectant. This means that all the usual things to be aware of regarding humectants, curly hair, and the weather are applicable when using glycerin.
Its viscosity and clarity make it a great ingredient to give definition to curls and to smooth the fly-away hair.
Use it in combination with another conditioning agent if planning to use heat-styling methods.
Do not use glycerin right after using a permanent dye on the hair, and consider avoiding it if you use semi-permanent or red color on your hair.

If your having issues of dry skin, or dry hair, this is a product worth looking into. HTH
