Does glycerin clog pores?

Does glycerin clog your pores? Well, the answer will NOT surprise you: yes, it does, and if you don't believe me, just look at its texture and composition!

You have to understand that most natural oils are going to clog your pores to some extent because they contain glycerin, which is a thick substance that's very dense in texture, and which also will clog your pores dramatically.

Does this mean that you should avoid using glycerin?

Although I highly recommend that you avoid using glycerin, unfortunately, you cannot since it is present in most beauty products and most creams sold nowadays, that's why you have to stay away from cheap brands as much as possible because they tend to offer products that contain too much glycerin for your skin, and which you will harm it and which can be very dangerous for your pores and also for your overall skin health.

Yes, glycerin is a comedogenic substance, in other words, it's going to clog your pores, however, if you want to use it, then, you need to apply a good face wash on a weekly basis, this will be more than enough in order to unclog your pores and to also help your skin breathe and stay healthy.

I know that this is going to go against many beliefs some people have that multani mitti is very healthy for their stomachs and when you start eating it, it's going to help your skin and your hair as well, but this is absolute rubbish in my opinion! First of all, you don't have the necessary equipment, meaning your stomach and intestines to absorb nutrients found in multani mitti. The second thing is that multani mitti is "dirt", in other words, it's a rock, it can contain lots of minerals and lots of elements that can be very dangerous for your intestines and stomach as well, and even though you may argue that you are going to only eat a few grams a day, you should completely avo
