Glycerin is a ‘humectant’ that retains moisture in the skin. It helps to penetrate deep into the skin and repair damage.
1. Glycerin and Lemon Juice (Skin Brightening)
This is the most effective way to remove dark spots on the face and enhance color. The vitamin C in lemon juice acts as a bleaching agent.
How to do it: Mix half a spoon of lemon juice with a spoon of glycerin. Apply this to the area with spots on the face before going to bed at night. Wash it off with cold water in the morning.
2. Glycerin and Rose Water (Natural Toner)
Rose water helps to make the skin softer and brighter.
How to do it: Mix glycerin and rose water in equal amounts and store it in a bottle. Applying this after washing your face daily will help in reducing wrinkles and even out skin tone.
3. Glycerin and Milk Cream
This is great for those with dry skin to get rid of dark spots.
How to do it: Mix a little glycerin with milk cream and massage it on your face. Wash it off after 20 minutes. This will give your face an instant glow.
Things to note:
Do not use directly: Never apply glycerin directly on your face. Always dilute it with water or rose water.
Sunscreen: When glycerin is used with lemon juice, your skin is more susceptible to sunburn. So, do not forget to use sunscreen during the day.
