How much glycerine are you supposed to use? I've been thinking about getting some for my upcoming meet but can't figure out how much to take. Also, it's just the vegetable glycerine right? I don't see anything about ingesting it.
Edit: Also, congrats on the meet and qualifying for RUM. That's huge!
This is gonna sound really weird but buy some glycerin and before you set your foundation/concealer with powder dip your sponge in it and dab it around your face like you would with a face powder and then set it. Glycerin helps lock in makeup like nobodies business! I use this one

I made my own menthol additive, so I can freeze my face off with any soap or post-shave.
For example, I added a single drop to my brush today after loading Mickey Lee's Ruby's Green, and then lathered directly on my face. It was the perfect cooling sensation.
Then I added two drops into my palm before splashing Stirling's Coniferous Witch Hazel/Aloe on my face. Intense! (but awesome)
This is what I used:
I put some menthol crystals in a ziploc bag and crushed it with a rolling pin until it was a fine dust. I then put it in a small bottle (I used an empty travel-sized hand sanitizer bottle) and added a small amount of coconut oil to dissolve it, but I consider this optional because the menthol resolidified once the glycerin was added (since requires a certain concentration of oil to stay dissolved).
I don't care to use chemicals like Polysorbate 20 to keep the menthol dissolved, so I just shake the bottle before I use it and it works very well. I don't know if the coconut oil adds anything, so I'll probably skip it next time I make a batch.
You can buy 100% glycerine and apply it to damp skin, and then follow up with a moisturizer.
