While dry skin is common, especially during winter, it can be effectively managed, resulting in comfort and a pleasant complexion. Some natural remedies can help alleviate these problems and restore moisture to your skin. Two such ingredients are glycerin and honey, which have incredible nourishing power to combat dry skin.


Glycerin: The Humectant Hero
Glycerin, also known as glycerol, has been used in skincare for centuries due to its incredible moisturizing properties. It is a hygroscopic ingredient, which can absorb and retain moisture from the environment, making it a popular ingredient in many skincare products.


One of the main benefits of glycerin is that it acts as a protector for the skin. When used on dry skin, glycerin works by absorbing small droplets from the surroundings, and the skin feels nourished and smooth.

Honey: Nature’s Liquid Gold
Honey is a natural sweetener and culinary delight but has amazing skin care properties. Honey contains natural sugars that help retain moisture, preventing dry skin from becoming overhydrated. It is an excellent emollient, softening and soothes the skin.

Honey is packed with antioxidants and has antibacterial properties, making it an ideal product for the skin’s health. The antioxidants in honey can protect the skin from environmental damage, which can lead to dry skin. Additionally, its antibacterial properties can help reduce inflammation and soothe skin irritation, a common occurrence during dry seasons.

The Power of the Duo: Glycerin and Honey
When combined with honey, glycerin is a powerful combination that can do wonders for dry skin. Moisturising glycerin and soothing honey complement each other perfectly, providing the perfect solution to dry skin problems.

Ekta Makhijani, a Lifestyle Influencer, said, “My skin used to get chapped and it used to look dull, especially during winters but ever since I have started including glycerin and honey in my skincare routine, my skin has been softer than ever. I would recommend adding these two ingredients to your daily skincare routine.”

Glycerin and honey are two natural ingredients that have amazing nutritional value for sensitive skin. Glycerin’s moisturising properties help lock in pores, while honey’s soothing, hydrating properties help keep skin soft and healthy. By incorporating these two ingredients into your skincare routine, you can harness their full potential to help your skin stay supple and smooth. So, the next time you’re looking for a solution to your chapped skin, reach for glycerin and honey to experience their natural skin-nourishing magic.
