Glycerine is one of the oldest and most common ingredients that can be found in almost any household. It is one of the most effective ingredients to treat dry and skin. Laam Glycerine is extracted from vegetable fat. It is a thick gelatinous sweet tasting odourless liquid. Glycerine can be used on lips as well to keep dryness at bay. I have seen my grandmother using glycerine for her skin. She used to make a mixture of rose water and glycerine and massage it on her face regularly. No wonder she had a super soft and glowing skin all the time in spite of living in the hills where the summer sun was harsh and the winters were even harsher.
