#WinterLifeCheck-in Season#Applying glycerin in winter can protect the skin of your hands
In winter, the temperature is low and the air is dry, and the human skin is prone to dryness, itching, cracking and other uncomfortable symptoms. The skin of the hands is one of the areas most susceptible to the external environment, so special attention needs to be paid to protection and care. Applying glycerin is a common skincare method that does protect the skin on your hands.
Glycerin is a star moisturizer that absorbs moisture from the air, forming a protective film that prevents moisture loss and thus keeps the skin moisturized. Glycerin also has the effect of softening the stratum corneum, promoting cell regeneration, and delaying skin aging. Therefore, applying glycerin can help keep the skin moisturized and reduce uncomfortable symptoms such as dry and itchy skin.
There are a few things to keep in mind when using glycerin:
Wash your hands before glycerin. Glycerin will effectively lock in moisture, but if there is dirt or oil on the hands, glycerin will not penetrate well into the skin, and it will not achieve a moisturizing effect.
Choose all-natural glycerin. There are many types of glycerin products on the market, but not all of them are natural. Some glycerin containing chemicals can have a negative impact on the skin, so you need to pay special attention when shopping.
Glycerin should be applied at the right time. It's best to apply glycerin immediately after washing your hands or bathing to ensure that your skin hasn't completely lost moisture, and that glycerin locks in moisture and keeps your skin moisturized.
Be mindful of the amount of glycerol used. Excess glycerin can clog pores and cause skin breakouts and other problems. In general, the amount of glycerin used at a time should be limited to one teaspoon or half a teaspoon.
All in all, applying glycerin can indeed help protect the skin on your hands from uncomfortable symptoms such as dryness, itching, cracking, etc. But at the same time, you need to pay attention to the use and amount of glycerin to avoid negative effects on the skin.
