Vaseline: anti aging?

[vader]

i used to apply it AFTER my makeup in winter months back in the day

what i used to do was after all my makeup was done, foundation and blush, id rub a tiny bit of vaseline between my two fingers and then gently and lightly pat it onto my cheeks for a glistening glow (that in winter months i needed)

if applied lightly it can look great, too much and you can look greasy

i did this for a few years until they came out with all those shimmers for the face, now i just use them instead whenever i want a glistening dewy look

got my trusty big ole jar of vaseline right next to my computer lol...if they ever went out of buisness i think id shrivel up like a prune!

my mum uses vaseline on her eyelids and on the area around eyes and it really helps to eliminate those lines due to dehydration.

I prefer moisturizing eye creams.

LOL i see!!! thanks

maybe i should give it a try, but i dont want my pillow get dirt.

I would love to use Vaseline but I am afraid it would break me out.

 

[chic_chica]

Believe me AngelaGM, u won't break out. On my vaseline container it says its hypo-allergenic and non-comedogenic, no colors, fragrances or irritants. They even say you can use it on your face.

I used it 2 nights so far...and i didnt break out yet...and i doubt that i will.

The only problem that i have with it is that most of it rubs off on my pillow-case when i sleep so i don't think my face gets the full benefit of the vaseline all night long.

ya AngelaGM im also break-out prone w/ combo skin and it just makes your skin feel soft n not oilyy at alllll not even skinny in my opinion....its great..i was so scared too but do it..i just figured like everyone says wuts the worst that can happen..u get a pimple i mean chances are ur whole face isnt gonna b covered in acne just cause u use it one night ya kno =)

don't get mad don't get mad at me >.< but..........

I'm too lazy to read through 25 pages, but it's just a simple question. So the regiment is to:

cleanse skin at night, put on vaseline (the thick one that comes in the tub/container)

Sleep

--in the morning

do I just rinse my face or do I use a cleanser (because some are saying that you don't even need to use a moisturiser in the morning, so I don't know if I'm suppose to wash it off with a cleanser)?

Also does this make the pillow greasy and the hair that touches your face at night?

 

[Kimmi201]

ya i usally wash my face or cleanse and then apply the vaseline..it shouldn't stick to the pillow unless u pileeee it on..u only need a lil just a thin film ya kno...

in the morning i usally rinse my face just cause i cant wakeup unless i do =)...but u dont really need to it feels so smooth and dry u'll b really suprised!!

My routine is:

1. Cleanse skin

2. Moisturize skin

3. Aplly layer of vaseline over skin about 20 mins after (I still apply moisturizer because from what i've been reading i've picked up that it just acts as a shield to your skin - so in my head the vaseline aids in keeping the moisturizer in)

4. Cleanse in the morning - with a facial wash

5. Apply moisturizer

5. Aplly makeup if going out

TY everyone

I shall try this when I get a chance. I still have to 'patch test' i suppose.

 

[princess_eyez]

My father uses Vaseline on his face and arms, it makes his skin soft

 

[moonie]

i kow its good for dry and flaky skin. also for the eyelashes and as a makeup remover. but i've never heard of it as a face cream. i guess it may work for some but not for others. consider your skin type. i'm thinking acne prone skin should avoid this.

 

[sumsumsam]

i just try it yesterday, i found my skin is moistured and softer, not as dry as i usually wake up. i am sure i will keep doing it everyday.

 

[shellie]

i use vaseline too at night!

i don't slather it on but i put a nice layer over my dry flaking spots when i get them and they are usually gone or almost gone the next morning.

sometimes i do this even if i don't have any dry spots. of course, i put aloe vera gel on before i apply vaseline. aloe's my moisturizer.

I was all excited about the vaseline 'experiment'. lol but then my mom put on some white pillow cases on my bed...so i stopped using it. Cuz she'd probably kill me for messing it up. I intend to start back using the vaseline though.

But for right now...i just use it on my nose area cuz it's pretty dry around that area.

Has anyone broken out from using vaseline?
