This One Ingredient Can Solve All Your Beauty Problems

If you’re ready to banish dull, dry skin for good, then you need to welcome Glycerin into your life! It’s a clear liquid made from plant oils, and has a thin, syrup-like consistency. A master of hydration, vegetable glycerin can soothe dry and irritated skin since it attracts and locks in moisture. There’s a reason it’s often the star of skincare products, and DIY beauty junkies are starting to take notice.

Since we could all benefit from a little more hydration, here are eight at-home beauty recipes to try:

Pair glycerin and rosewater to create an amazing skin toner, which will help smooth the surface of your skin by drawing in water, and help it retain moisture.

2. Take the Day Off

Glycerin is a common ingredient in makeup removal products because it doesn’t dry out the skin and creates a soothing effect. Simply mix glycerin and water on a cotton pad, and wipe away your makeup.
