I would suggest using vaseline, since it is a emollient, to your lips, elbows, feet or hands. It is good for restoring moisture to that area. But the truth of it is that in order for you to have results you would be re-applying it alot. If you are blemish prone I would suggest you not apply it to your face.

I would keep the vaseline off your areas of skin that have a tendency to become oily and only apply it in your areas of skin that continue to be dry. Apply your moisturizer first, wait one minute or less and then apply the vaseline over it. The vaseline will act as a sealant and keep the moisture in.

People with oily skin are said to be less prone to wrinkling skin opposed to people with dry skin...so maybe the oils absorbing into your skin, plays a positive factor in that theory..
i hate my oily skin because my nose is ridiculously shiny every half hour and ibelieve its the reason i break out...but hopefully i'll just grow out these breakouts and later in the future, i'll have nice wrinkle free skin in the far future

I tried using vaseline last night but I didn't see result any different from using my tea tree oil and vitamin E mix. I think I will continue to use the vaseline around my eye and on my eyelashes cause i'm hoping it will help my lash growth.

Vaseline is derived from petroleum and to me that would be a toxin, something I would not put on my skin. I would rather use a natural ointment like coconut oil, shea butter, or combine aloe vera and jojoba oil.
Celebrities have had cosmetic surgery, that is why they look so good at their age. Any others, could have good genes. From the original post, 40 is not that old, you do not have that many wrinkles, sagging at that age, and could still pass for 30.

It depends where you live really. If you live in harsh weather conditions (which they do) you would sag/wrinkle faster than people in a moderate climate.

Great Thread!
I have read a lot of the posts here to see if it's working, the Vaseline...
I see lots of positive reactions, so it's very interesting! I think I will give it a try and see what it will do for my skin.
I have combination skin, dry and oily, prone to breakouts and blemishes and I have some red marks (which I hope will fade by time)
, so the whole 'vaseline on face'-thing is not the first thing that comes to mind hehe....
I try it for nighttime moisterizer, seems to greasy for the day. And I have lotion with SPF for the morning.

Am I suppose to?
Most of us saw improvement the first time we used it. Maybe it just doesn't work for you?

I noticed softer, smoother skin and it also brightens up underneath my eyes.

I would suggest only applying
a pea size shape to the whole face. And gently rub it in. Since it is a sealant it will stay on the top layer of your skin. Unless you sleep on your back the whole night it will probably get on your pillow cases. You might think of using a moisturizer and applying a skin care sealant cream that will go into the skin, keeping your skin moisturized and with no stains on the pillow cases.

I just found this article about Vaseline
These are another important ingredient in the manufacture of skin care, soaps, detergents and cooking. Olive oil is used in the Mediterranean, Shea butter in West Africa and Jojoba Oil by the native Americans. However in America a gentleman called Chesborough discovered that the grease used around the drills in Texas could be used in skin care. Thus the artificial product now known as Vaseline was manufactured. Vaseline cannot be absorbed by healthy skin and creates a thin film on the surface of the skin, blocking the pores and preventing the skin from functioning normally. Vaseline does not contain any Vitamins and disturbs or even stops the skin from being able to absorb fat-soluble vitamins.
Vaseline's is detrimental to the skin with long-term use. Mineral oils appear to moisturise the skin but in reality they suppress its normal, healthy functioning. The skin then becomes 'dependent' on constant applications of mineral oil which, in turn, result in a deterioration of the skin's character and ability to keep itself healthy. It clogs the pores, is hard to remove and is a bit like having cling film wrapped around your body.

That's exaclty why it works...it seals moisture in, it's only bad IMO if you use it to moisturise ie; using vaseline for lips, but using it at night on damp skin or after using a night cream does wonders. I don't think it's that hard to remove as long you wash your face in the morning, instead of just rinsing with water.
