Can glycerin be used to clean your tongue?

Glycerin pulls moisture into itself until it reaches equilibrium, and it will pull moisture from the skin to accomplish this ... that is what is happening when it feels "hot". That "hot" sensation is from the stimulation of the nerve cells in the skin as water is being depleted from the surrounding area and fluids are then replaced from deeper within the skin that are more ionic in nature.

Cosmetic companies claim this is a good thing, drawing nutrition from the deeper dermal layers, while many dermatologists feel it is a bad thing ... drawing important nutrients called "growth factors" from stromal cells.

If you use glycerin products that are fully hydrated then they will not feel warm or hot and they will retain their moisture. The molecule is too large to soak into the skin very deeply, but it can help seal in moisture, especially as it continues to absorb moisture from the air, but equilibrium states that it will not pull moisture from the air and impart it to the skin below so it's utility is to keep a moisturized face moisturized, not add moisture to it despite advertising claims.

my question as embarrassing as is, some stores sell products with glycerin in such as flavored hot gel that people use on one another for intimacy purposes. Someone I know became very ill after having this applied on their body parts. To the point that he nearly passed out. Was it possibly another medical condition or did this lotion, which is hot to the touch, cause him to break into extreme sweat, get dizzy and almost pass out? If so, why sell the product.

My hands always seem to breakout with little water blisters that itch when I use a product containing glycerin. It doesn't happen all the time? I wonder if it depends on how much glycerin is in the product. This has been happening for years.
