thanks for all the feedback and welcoming remarks! sorry, i should have said "fine lines" instead of "wrinkles"...(gotta get the proper lingo going!) i am on my way to the store for some grapeseed oil right now. oh, and i woke up on day one of the vaseline challege with my skin feeling great. this is so exciting! thanks again!

Wow this thread has really grown since I last looked in here! I'm glad almost everyone is getting great results . As for me I'm still vaselining(lol new word) away and still very happy with results. ESPECIALLY on my burnt eyelashes. I had almost given up hope seeing as it happened over a year ago but they are DEF growing longer and thicker. I stopped with the castor oil about 2 nights after I started because it was really drying out my eyelids and making them flake. I would love to be able to combine the 2 to see if they work even better together. Anyone have tips on how to use castor oil on lashes without getting it all over my lids?

I sometimes use a mascara wand (clean and disinfected) and dip it into the castor oil (remove excess oil) then apply it like a mascara. The other thing I do is pour very little into the lid (the bottle's lid) and dip my finger into the oil and gently apply it to my lashes. With both methods I don't get any oil on my lids. HTH

i have used vaseline occasionally when I have had really dry skin (like today) and it has always worked great. I just don't like the initial feeling of greasiness.

Ladies,

Thank you very much for this thread. I started using Vaseline two weeks ago and I like the results. Yes, the initial greasiness is not pleasant, but I think its worth it. The strangest thing is that I no longer need to blot my T-zone during the day.

I finally restarted the "Vaseline challenge" because I was talked into buying a new night cream and all it's done is leave my face mildly irritated. I have to go return it. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Since I knew that might happen, I brought the Vaseline with me for Thanksgiving at my parents' place where it's much drier than where I live. I've only used it for 2 nights now, but the MONSTER blemish I was getting on my cheek has started shrinking! (The BHA only got it to stop growing). My face feels soft & moisturized, even yesterday when I didn't wash my face after getting up. I walked around all day with the remnants of vaseline on my face & didn't feel greasy at all, just comfortable. I'm so glad I started reading this thread!

Sarahlynn, if your face is dehydrated, that could be a reason for seeing fine lines. I'm 26 also and I just have them around my eyes, but my skin tends to be dehydrated. I may have to try the grapeseed oil though!

I'm still using the Vaseline at night very light coat and it's still working fantastically well for me.

I started putting my moisturizer under the vaseline to make sure I'm not just masking my vase to look and feel soft but treating it as well.

It's working so good for me and my make up is still going on very smoothly and my skin feels so good. My husband can't stop putting his hand on my check and I love it!

 

[sushi-gal]

never thought to use it for face, but it may worth to try, although I don't want my hair and pillow get greasy.

 

[katrosier]

Just pin your hair back. As for the pillowcase it will wash off dont worry .

Or Maybe this one?

 

[AngelaGM]

I would be afraid it would make my face break out as well.

 

[evilprincess]

I wish i would have read this entire thread. I went to a health store and got some emu oil and did see the grape seed oil there. grrrr. anyway. I also stopped and picked up some vaseline from the store as well.

OK, I decided to try this since my skin is acting all crazy from the pre-exam stress. I have been getting both dry, flaky patches as well as pimples. ugh....I cleansed, did an aspirin mask, moisturised witha little bit of Dr Hauschka rose cream and then vaseline. I put on onlt a little and mixed it with some water. I figured it would seal in the moisture in my skin and from the cream. This morning I had high expectations, considering all the raves this has been getting, and I was not dissapointed!! My skin feels more comfortable than it has been in weeks, dry patches and red marks have improved AND my new pimple has shrunk and doesn't feel like it is going to get worse. Hmmm, there is def something about this stuff!!!!!

It's eh...rocking my world today
