If you’re unhappy with your current set of beauty products, and the way your skin looks and feels, then we have a solution for you. How about switching to home remedies to take care of your skin? Yes ladies, DIY methods are a natural way to get beautiful and glowing skin. Wondering if there is anything you can use to keep your skin radiant? We think glycerin is the answer!

Glycerin is a humectant, a moisturising agent that traps moisture in the skin and keeps it hydrated. That’s why it is widely used in cosmetic products, but you can use it as it is to take care of your skin. After all, it comes with benefits galore.

Here are some ways to use glycerin for the face:
1. As a cleanser

To keep your skin free from dust and dirt, a powerful cleanser is required. In such a case, what could be better than a glycerin cleanser? Use glycerin in combination with milk, and see the magic. That’s because these two powerful ingredients can leave your skin clear and healthy. 

Here’s how you can use it:

Mix three tablespoons of milk with one tablespoon of glycerin. Now, wet your face first and apply the mixture all over your face with a cotton ball. Leave it on overnight.

2. To exfoliate your face

You need to exfoliate your skin at least once a week to remove all the dead skin cells and keep your pores clean. Glycerin scrub not only adds glow to your face, but also effectively exfoliates your skin. You can make a great facial scrub with glycerin and these ingredients:

You’ll need:

1 tbsp sugar;

2 tbsp glycerin;

Few drops of lavender oil.

Here’s how you can use it:

Mix glycerin, lavender oil, and sugar together. Stir until the sugar is almost dissolved. Gently rub it on your face to exfoliate it. With this homemade glycerin scrub, you can remove all the dead skin cells, dirt, and other particles.

Add one part glycerin and two parts rosewater, and mix well. You can add the mixture into a spray bottle. Now spritz it on your face whenever it feels dry or rough. This can hydrate your skin naturally.
