Glycerine or glycerol is a well-known humectant that suppresses trans-epidermal water loss to lock in precious skin hydration and attract water to the skin. Pastry cooks use it in Royal icing to bind the water to the sugar and stop it from hardening. Unlike oils, glycerine is not occlusive or oily and so is attractive to all skin types. It is a soothing way to prevent dry skin and leave it hydrated and smooth. One of the oldest and most respected toners was made by blending rose water with glycerine. It can be blended with fresh pulped fruits and vegetables to make face masks that nourish and plump the skin with maximum hydration and zesty freshness.
