Vaseline: anti aging?

[Leony]

This thread is really interesting to read.

actually i found vaseline to have a soothing effect on skin. when i put on an area thats red and irritated at nite in the morining the redness and itching is gone. if u r scared to use it all over ur face than you can apply it only on ur problem areas.

Hmmm, this sounds really tempting to try. I just worry I would mess up my pillowcase! Having glowing skin does sound like a reason to mess up a pillowcase though...

Just as an update.

I got three potential cyst type zits when my period started. One of these I just carried on applying vaseline to. It went away without ever becoming big or painful. The other two – well, this is embarassing, but I attacked 'em with my fingers

And they got red and sore.

BUT I then left them alone and carried on applying vaseline, and they're fading.

I'm not saying it's a miracle cure, but it's doing no harm. I'll see if I get more non-hormonal zits now.

i`d like to ask.... after putting on the vaseline, how did you remove it?? i mean isn`t it hard to remove?

 

[katrosier]

you don't remove it , by morning its disappeared , Im guessing most of it comes off on the pillowcase.

If you are uncertain about using at night I suggest you put a little during the day now that it is cold and windy!! It protects my skin from flaking.

When I was a kid everyone had vaseline and it was used everywhere!

And the older ladies always had the best skin from this and using the ponds cold cream and good ol cocoa butter!!!

wow, how much this thread has grown since I checked last time!

I'm glad to hear it's working wonders for some of you girls.

My skin is starting to freak out again, so I might give this one a shot over the weekend.

Keep us updated with your results!!!

Actresses Nia Long and Vivica Fox, use it as an all over body moisturiser by slathering down with it and wearing a warmup suit around the house for several hours or overnight. I hate to say this, but this makes me think of Burt Reynolds in the movie Striptease with Demi Moore. I don't think I ever laughed so hard watching him run around in his boxers and cowboy boots with Vaseline all over his body.
I think I'm going to give the OCM a try. I have some of those oils left over from some lip balm made and if it doesn't hurt oily skin, I'll be loving it!

The idea of a hot washcloth over my face is VERY appealing!!
