How to make a moisturizer using glycerin

My hands are soft in the summer, but they become dry and rough when the cold season comes. When I apply hand cream, it doesn't absorb and leaves an uncomfortable, slippery feeling, so I'm not satisfied with it. That's why I make my own to use.

When I was in college, my friend's mom was a pharmacist, so she made and used her own cosmetics. That's how I learned it.

Please prepare one 360ml bottle of the cheapest soju. If you use it as a facial toner, you will need the whole bottle, but if you use it as a moisturizer for your body or hands, you will only need about half a bottle.

If you go to a pharmacy, you can purchase a 100ml bottle of glycerin, which is used to make cosmetics, for about 1,200 won.

An empty bottle left over from using a mist a while ago, a 300ml empty bottle

If you don't have an empty bottle, you can buy one at Daiso for 1,000 won.

Add half a bottle of soju and a whole bottle of glycerin to that, shake to mix, and it's done. I only added half a bottle of soju because I plan to apply it to my body or hands.

As mentioned earlier, if you want to use it as a facial toner, you can put in the whole bottle.

If you make and use it this way, just one application will keep your skin moisturized for a long time without any stickiness. You might be worried about a soju smell.

Soju is volatile, so the scent dissipates quickly. If you add herbs or Houttuynia cordata when making it, it will smell nice.

Also, depending on your skin type, you may reduce or increase the amount of soju.

This is my hand without moisturizer.

This is the hand where I applied the homemade moisturizer. You might not think there is much difference when looking at the photo, but I personally can feel the moisture without any stickiness. I make it this way, and my whole family uses it as a moisturizer.

My husband makes it by adding a bottle of soju and uses it as a facial toner. So, I find it useful as a hand cream, body moisturizer, and facial toner.

That concludes my personal beauty tips.
