Glycerin in cosmetology for facial skin. The benefits and use of vitamin E and A from wrinkles. Masks and creams recipes

Due to its beneficial properties, the chemical substance glycerin, which has no color and has a sweet taste, is a popular product used in many cosmetic skin care procedures.

In combination with vitamins E and A, this viscous liquid helps moisturize the skin, smooth out bumps and scars, and even out skin tone, thereby achieving a rejuvenating effect. Before use, it is important to read the rules for the use of glycerin so as not to harm health.

The action of glycerol on the skin

Often, in recipes, it is recommended to dilute liquid glycerin with filtered water. Thus, the process of moisturizing the epidermis can be enhanced several times. The use of this substance has a quick and noticeable effect of eliminating wrinkles. With regular use, the aging process stops, and a moisturizing film is created on the surface of the skin, filling the pores.

Facial skin acquires a healthy appearance, dryness is eliminated and traces of aging and dehydration are eliminated.

Beneficial features

According to cosmetology studies, glycerin has such properties for the skin:

• Deep hydration of the skin. Moisture is absorbed from the environment, after which glycerin actively delivers it to all skin cells.
• Protection. A protective layer is created that protects the skin surface from various negative environmental factors. Glycerin also helps improve exfoliation of keratinized particles, which leads to an equalization of the epidermis.
• Elimination of skin diseases. It copes well with acne, as it has an antiseptic effect and speeds up the healing process of small wounds. Reduces acne and makes minor skin defects less noticeable.
• Hypoallergenicity. The use of the product does not provoke allergic reactions, irritation or peeling of the skin. Well cares for thinned and hypersensitive skin.
• Lifting. Even after 2-5 glycerin treatments, noticeable smoothing of small wrinkles is noted. Pores are actively filled with moisture, which leads to a visual smoothing of the skin surface. The smoothness and elasticity of the skin increases.
• Improving the effectiveness of cosmetics. The unique composition makes glycerin a kind of stabilizer, so the cleansing abilities of cosmetics for facial skin care significantly increase.
• Whitening. After applying glycerin, the skin acquires a lighter and healthier tone.
• Activation of metabolic processes. From pores, fat and dirt are eliminated much faster, possible infections are neutralized.

Precautions and contraindications

Glycerin procedures can be used for all skin types, but there are cases when glycerin is not recommended. Some people may have an individual intolerance to this substance or an allergy to it. In these cases, the use of the drug is not recommended.

It is also undesirable to use glycerin in the presence of minor skin lesions, such as scratches or small wounds. You can not combine this product with silicone, as this can lead to inflammation, overdrying, peeling of the skin. In order for the substance to have an exclusively positive effect on the skin of the face, safety rules must also be observed.

Do not use glycerin in hot weather and in rooms with low humidity.

No beneficial effect will be noted in the cold season, especially when staying in the cold. It is also forbidden to use products in which the concentration of glycerol is too high.

Face glycerin for wrinkles with vitamin E and A is often used in the form of lotions made on the basis of rose water, lemon juice, peppermint and other ingredients. Lotions perfectly moisturize the skin, contribute to the rapid absorption of nutrients.

How to flush glycerin

In each recipe, a method is indic
ated on how to properly wash off the glycerol-based product. By following the instructions, you can avoid problems and increase the effectiveness of the tool.

If the recipe does not indicate how to wash off the glycerin mask, lotion or cream from the face, you can follow the general recommendations:

1. Any glycerin-based product should be kept on the skin for at least 20 minutes. After this time, you should wash your face thoroughly.
2. If the composition of the product, in addition to glycerin, includes oil, you can not rinse it off. In the morning you will need to wipe your face with a cotton pad dampened in water or chamomile infusion or with a damp cloth.
3. Tools that include protein, it is better to rinse with warm water.
4. In other cases, glycerin is washed off with the help of cold water.

Course of application and duration of procedures

Glycerin for the face from wrinkles with vitamin E and A will give a more pronounced effect if, when choosing the duration of the procedures and the course of use, age is taken into account. If in 20 years the skin retains moisture well and does not need deep hydration, then in 45-50 years it is much more difficult to bring moisture to all skin cells.

• Up to 25 years of age, it is undesirable to use masks and other means with glycerin, since skin dryness rarely occurs at this age. From 25 to 35 years, masks and other products containing glycerin should be used at least 1 time per week. If you want to get a quick and pronounced effect, it is best to use glycerin procedures 2 times a week. The duration of each procedure should not exceed 20 minutes.
• At the age of 35-45 years, the skin becomes drier, the first noticeable wrinkles appear, so the duration of the use of masks and other products based on glycerin should be at least 30 – 40 minutes. Moisturizers with glycerin can be used daily.
• The skin of the face of women 45 – 55 years old is often thinning, so the aging process is reflected in its condition more actively. Often women at this age are faced with the appearance of dry skin, weakening of facial muscles, the appearance of age spots and wrinkles. To increase the effectiveness of glycerol-based products, it is better to make masks at least 3 times a week. For normal and sensitive skin, you can reduce the frequency of glycerin treatments up to once a week. But you should avoid getting such funds on the skin around the eyes and lips, as otherwise noticeable swelling may occur.
• After 55 years, the epidermis loses its natural glow and healthy glow, since insufficient collagen is produced. In order for moisture and beneficial substances to enter all skin cells, you need to keep the glycerin mask for at least 40-50 minutes, not forgetting to steam the face before using the product. In this case, it is advisable to carry out glycerin procedures daily.

Possible side effects

Sometimes the use of glycerol leads to allergic reactions. To prevent them, it is important to test before using the selected product. To do this, apply it on the inside of the brush. If redness or a rash appears within 60 minutes, it is better to refuse the use of glycerin.

After applying glycerol-based products, significant depletion and lightening of the skin can be noted, which is explained by the active washing out of pigments during the procedure.

Sometimes glycerin leads to clogging of pores, as a result of which inflammations and acne can appear. However, in most cases, undesirable manifestations cause an excessive amount of glycerol in the composition or individual intolerance to this substance.

Recommendations of cosmetologists on the use of glycerin

• Self-prepared products should not include too many oils, since glycerin is almost insoluble in them.
• Means containing glycerin are best used in the evening, but not at night.
• Masks and creams with glycerin, offered at an affordable price in a pharmacy, often give a more pronounced effect than counterparts prepared at home. Therefore, self-prepared products are best used only if the cosmetic rather than therapeutic effect is more important.
• To avoid addiction, it is advisable to use glycerin in courses. It is not recommended to use glycerin during periods when there is an increased activity of the sun (summer, late spring, the first month of autumn).
• It is not necessary to immediately throw away the remnants of the product with glycerin, because you can apply them to the skin of the neck or in the decollete. The skin in these areas will also become healthier and moisturized.

Glycerin is an indispensable tool in the composition of masks and creams for facial skin. When used correctly, it is safe and allows you to quickly get the effect of rejuvenating the skin.

Delivering moisture to the cells of the epidermis, it helps rejuvenate and improve skin color. And in combination with vitamins E and A, the product allows you to get rid of wrinkles, scars and small scars, eliminate signs of aging.
