Vegetable Glycerine for the Skin


Sometimes, I get so caught in my hair regimen, that I will forget to (re)evaluate my skin care regimen. A little known fact about me is that I hate the feel of lotion on my skin. Most lotions (with the exception of the expensive Curel brand) seem to make my skin feel clogged up and dirty. I often skin the lotion step altogether. Most times I just use oils to moisturize my skin. Recently, I read of a woman who used coconut oil and vegetable glycerine as moisturizer for her skin. I can vouch for coconut oil. The only time I have use VG for my skin was on my hands, and I remember it making my skin very supple and moisturized. I have been thinking of using a 50:50 mix of VG and an oil for my skin care. VG is hypoallergenic and has antibacterial qualities. Here is a link to the many benefits of VG, and you can decide for yourself if it will be a good addition to your skin care regimen.

  1. Thanks for the link sis!
    I have to try this as blackheads have been my face's best friend since puberty and this sounds like it would uproot and remove the blackheads from sight~
