India, Dec. 6 -- When it comes to skincare, two humble ingredients have stood the test of time: Vaseline and glycerin. Far from the glamour of face serums, or expensive creams, Vaseline, and glycerin have been long-trusted by our mothers and grandmothers for their skin. But if you had to choose one, which one is actually better for your skin, especially during winter, and why?

"Glycerin and Vaseline work best when you think of them as a team: glycerin acts like a moisture magnet that pulls water into the skin, especially when applied on slightly damp skin, while Vaseline creates a powerful occlusive barrier that locks in up to 99 percent of that moisture," Dermatologist Dr Shweta Tripathi, co-founder at MySkindom, tells HT ShopNow.
