Make a Glycerin Moisturizer
Glycerin and lime juice moisturizer is suitable for NIGHT application. It has been and currently is used by many Eastern and Spanish celebrities and many others. Glycerin is a clear sweet liquid that can be purchased from any pharmacy or many other stores. During the colder winter months, skin can become dry and chapped, leading to great discomfort and skin itchiness or irritation. Typically, skin that has not been adequately moisturized usually ages faster than usual and becomes wrinkled or creased. Premature aging is largely due to neglect or absence of skin care. An economical and easy to prepare moisturizer using glycerin and lime juice can be whisked in a few minutes. This preparation can be used on the face, neck, and other areas of the body.
