- The chemical name of glycerol is glycerol, which has strong water absorption.
Usually we use glycerin with 20% moisture. Apply it to the skin in winter to moisturize the skin without cracking. If pure glycerin is used, it can absorb a lot of water due to its excessive water absorption, which makes the skin dry and burning. Therefore, it is not suitable to use pure glycerin skin care in winter.
- Can glycerin be used on sensitive skin?
Sensitive skin can use glycerin. Glycerin is a kind of oil. It is non-toxic to human body. It has no irritating effect on eyes and skin. It can be applied directly to the skin. Even sensitive skin will not be uncomfortable. Glycerin, also known as glycerol, is very absorbent and absorbs moisture from the air, so it is often used as a body lotion. However, this method is only suitable for use in the south because the air in the north is dry and there is not much water in the air. Glycerin will absorb water from our skin.
- How to use glycerin for sensitive skin
Bottom the water film
Mix glycerin and water in a ratio of 1:2. Apply a layer of primer before applying the water film to enhance the hydration effect of the water film. Because glycerin has water absorption, it can help the skin absorb the water in the water film. .
- Glycerin should be diluted to use
If you buy an aqueous solution of glycerin that has been diluted, you can use it directly on your skin. If you buy pure glycerin, you need to dilute before you can use it. Because the concentration of pure glycerin is too high, it will be irritating, and because the moisture absorption effect is too good, it can be directly used on the skin instead of directly absorbing water from the skin. It is sensitive skin, so pay more attention to dilution. In addition, the place where the skin is broken must not be used, because glycerin will stimulate the wound.
