Glycerin For Your Face - Page 2

Pure glycerin would be sticky, wouldn't it? Think of the texture and feel of a glycerin soap bar.

But a spray with water makes sense to me.

Many vitamin C serums (l-ascorbic type) feel a little sticky on the skin b/c they contain glycerin to help keep the VC from oxidizing. That's how I use to make my diy VC serums, with glycerin.

OK, I bought some glycerin yesterday and used it last night. Not sure of the order in which to apply it tho. Since it's taking the place of HA, I used it after my toner. Toner was first after washing and using the Tatcha Rice Polish. When using HA, I apply it to a wet/damp face that I've just sprayed with an essence. I applied the glycerin to a wet face too. Do I need to do that? I can't see that it would hurt anything.

Treat glycerin like you would a moisturizer.

OK, I'll do the spray bottle. I just used it like I do snail snot. Put some in the palm of my hands, rubbed them together and applied to my face. It's a little sticky but no more than snail snot

I have a beauty fridge in a bathroom closet. I can make it up and store it there. Could I mix the glycerin with my Missha essence?

@FLgardener

That's where I got mine.

90% of everything I put on my face is for hydration. I can't wait to mix it with water, keep it in the fridge and use it thru out the day Thanks!

My moisturizer is the 2nd to the last thing I put on. The last being Marula Oil to lock in everything. Is Glycerin replacing my moisturizer?

Glycerin could replace your moisturizer and that way eliminate a step in your routine. It's part of the ingredients in most lotions and creams anyway.
