What Are the Functions and Benefits of Medical Grade Glycerin?
Medical glycerin has the functions of softening stool, stimulating intestinal peristalsis, improving constipation, and moisturizing the skin. Glycerin is relatively mild in performance and is a very safe product. It can be used by the elderly and children who suffer from constipation. In addition, patients with psoriasis and ichthyosis can also protect their skin through glycerin, which can improve their condition.
Dynamic Moisturizing
Glycerin does not release water after absorption. However, dynamic moisturizing can regulate water content based on the environment. If the skin lacks water, the emollient will release the absorbed water. However, if the water content in the skin increases, the wetting agent cannot continue to absorb water. Like hyaluronic acid, betaine wetting agent can also regulate the water content in the skin and release water. This can effectively moisturize the skin.
Appropriate Skin Feel and Hydration
Millimeters refer to hydration. In fact, water is not absorbed by the skin. Water can only evaporate on the surface of the skin, so it is incorrect to believe that hydration is achieved. Let's get back to the topic and talk about some precautions when using glycerin for beauty:
- As mentioned above, glycerin does not have dynamic moisturizing ability, so I do not recommend using glycerin in dry climates. Otherwise, glycerin may absorb water from the skin to achieve balance.
- Replacing facial cleanser with glycerin cannot truly moisturize the skin. The oil in the detergent can form a film on the surface of the skin to prevent water evaporation.
- The glycerin we usually buy is not 100% pure, but a glycerin solution diluted with water. This is because 100% glycerin can feel sticky.
