Glycerin is a humectant, which means that it lessens the loss of moisture by absorbing moisture from the air. Thus, adding glycerin to your lather might help prevent it drying out. However, if the humidity is low, even glycerin will have difficulty remaining hydrated.
The most obvious solution for dry lather is to add more water. Your lather might be too dry to start with. Even if your initial lather has enough water initially, you may still need to add water before lathering for subsequent passes.
If adding more water does not solve the issue, use the product to wash your hands or body.
