Glycerin is increasingly recommended for exactly this — and for good reason.

What is Glycerin

How Glycerin helps for dull skin

Dullness appears when dead cells build up on the surface and skin reflects less light. In this scenario Glycerin works with purpose — glycerin is a time-tested humectant that draws water into the outer skin layer. As a result, used consistently, it gently improves the skin for dull skin.

How to use it

• Cleanse with a gentle, non-stripping product.
• Apply glycerin to dry skin, starting 2–3 times a week.
• Seal with a moisturiser to support the barrier.
• Always use SPF 30+ in the morning.
