Description
Straight glycerin on a dry face can leave Black skin drier than it started, and that one mistake is why so many women give up on the cheapest face moisturizer in the drugstore. Here's the way to use glycerin for face care that actually works on our skin.

Janet learned it from a woman behind an old drugstore counter back home: glycerin and rose water mixed one part to three, pressed into damp skin at night, with a thin layer of cream on top to hold the water in. You'll hear exactly how to make the mix, how to store it, and why glycerin for dark spots only works alongside tinted sunscreen and keeping your hands off your face.
She also goes through what glycerin and rose water for skin will and won't do for Black women over 60: softer fine lines, firmer feeling skin, old dark marks fading back to your own brown over months, and which scars need a dermatologist who knows Black skin instead. Along the way, the two hundred dollar cream with glycerin fourth on its label, the lemon glycerin serum that darkens our marks, and the hydroquinone fade creams the FDA finally pulled from the counter.
