Can glycerin be used for oily skin?

Many people have oily skin, which can be troublesome when washing their face, because people with oily skin often have problems with blackheads, large pores, pimples and acne. So everyone must pay attention that people with oily skin should wash their faces a little more frequently than the average person. In addition, when choosing a moisturizer, try to choose plant-based ones to reduce irritation to the skin. Can glycerin be used for oily skin?

Function of glycerol:

The function of glycerin is to absorb moisture in the air and keep the skin moisturized. Pure glycerin cannot be applied directly to the skin for moisturizing, because if pure glycerin is applied directly to the skin, in addition to absorbing moisture from the air, it will also absorb moisture from the skin tissue, which will make the skin drier and even cause burns. Therefore, when buying glycerin, you must first ask whether it is pure glycerin or hydrated glycerin. If it is pure glycerin, 20% of water must be added before it can be used for moisturizing the skin. It cannot be used as a facial mask.

Mix white vinegar and glycerin in a ratio of 5:1 and apply it to the skin frequently (2-3 times a day). This can moisturize the skin, reduce melanin deposition, and the skin will become delicate, white and tender after one month. (This method is also effective for genetically dark skin)

Drug action:

Medically, glycerin is a lubricating laxative. It can lubricate and stimulate the intestinal wall, soften stool and make it easier to pass, with a mild effect. Made into suppositories, it takes effect in 30 minutes. When made into an enema, it not only has a lubricating effect, but also can stimulate the rectal wall, causing bowel movements reflexively. It is suitable for the treatment of constipation, especially for children and the elderly and infirm.

Industrial role:

Glycerol is an important chemical raw material and can be used to make plastics, synthetic fibers, explosives, etc. Interestingly, people have long ago used a mixture of nitric acid and sulfuric acid to treat glycerol to produce an aqueous solution of nitroglycerin, which they used to treat heart disease. However, later people wanted to remove the water from the nitroglycerin aqueous solution to produce pure digestible glycerin, but a violent explosion occurred during the experiment. Only then did people realize that nitroglycerin was a powerful explosive. As a result, people began to use glycerol as raw material to produce nitroglycerin in large quantities for use as explosives.

Functions of glycerin:

Because the sebaceous glands and sweat glands of patients with ichthyosis are severely atrophied, the sebum and sweat they secrete cannot effectively moisturize and moisturize the skin. The drug Qingyu Qinglin San also has a certain inhibitory effect on the secretion of sebaceous glands. In addition, the increase in the number of baths, dry skin may exist for a long time before the functions of the sebaceous glands and sweat glands are restored to a certain level. Therefore, attention should be paid to the maintenance and care of the skin.

Glycerin is the best choice for ichthyosis skin care. It has good water absorption properties and is beneficial for skin moisturizing. It is soluble in water, does not stain clothes, and is easy to clean. It is easy to use and does not cause any discomfort. It is inexpensive and simple to prepare.
