Glycerin is a colorless and odorless liquid that is derived from plant sources. For long, it has been in use in the beauty world for its incredible skin benefiting properties.

Wet your face and then take a few drops of glycerin on a cotton ball and apply all over. You can also add in three tablespoons of milk to one tablespoon of glycerin and leave it on overnight.
2. To moisturise the skin
For those who constantly have to deal with dry skin, glycerin can help a great deal it locking moisture and keeping the skin soft. It is known to be a humectant that helps in slowing down the evaporation of water from your skin and keeping it hydrated. Moreover, it improves skin permeability and promotes cell growth.
