Vaseline: anti aging?

[tothemax]

for those of u who have trouble with the greasiness, i think u might put too much of vaseline on ur face. I have a method that is working great for me. I dont' know if u guys all know about the infamous, crazily expensive Cream de La Mer, well, the texture of it is a lot like vaseline and the instructions on how to put the cream on ur face is to put a bit of the cream in ur hand, then warm it with ur fingers, then pat it on ur face. I do the same with Vaseline, i put a pea size of vaseline into my palm, srub my two palms together to warm it up, then pat it lightly onto my entire face. After that, any excess of vaselines that i still have left on my hands, i just scrub it onto the back of my hands and work it like u putting on hand lotion. Voila, i have moisturized face, eyes and hands without the greasiness.

a little update! i'm using vaseline ever since i saw this thread some time ago

I bet you it's true. I wash my face with olive oil every night and it's the best thing EVER! I just don't know if Vaseline clogs pores or not - olive oil does not and is water-soluble.

i tried to wash my face with olive oil but it's so weird for me because i never tried that before. I prefer to wash my face with something that gives foam as i feel it's cleaner that way. WHen i wash with olive oil, i still can feel a bit of oil left on my face. Olive oil + vaseline is too much for my skin, i got 3 to 5 small pimples after taht. SO i just wash my face as usual with my regular cleanswer and use vaseline only on my cheek and eyes. My T Zone is oily and Vaseline doesn't seem to help it. My cheeks and eyes arears however, feel very very soft after vaseline treatment

Apparently it has something to do with not spreading it on right. You're supposed to do it as if you're massaging your eyelids ( gently of course) to help with "drainage". I THINK you massage under your eye from the inside out , from inner corner near nose towards temple, and the eyelids from the outside in from temple to inner corner so you're tracing a circle and then tapping very very gently over the whole area. If you still have the same problem a few days later then it's probably just too heavy on your skin , in which case I try jojoba oil.

Ok, I'm new here. I'm gonna take the Vaseline and Dove soap challenge too. I'll keep you guys updated. Wish me luck!

I'm still using petroleum jelly and not having any problems. I could just slap myself upside the head

when I think of how long I avoided it! Grandma was right.

I was just qoing to ask whether anybody uses vaseline together with the jojoba oil (because this is my night moisturizer) and here I read your post. But, do you actually mix them together or apply one after another?Also, could you ,please, tell me, what skin type are you?

 

[MissMaryMac]

Well last night was the 1st night I tried the Vaseline and Dove beauty bar. I think I already see some changes. My skin is more even toned, some redness has faded and I swear some of my pores (i have large ones, like an organge peel) have gotten smaller. I'm very excited.

 

[joeysauce]

yeah, i'm back here again. i wish i knew what to do about my face. what to use, what not to use. what i'm doing wrong, what i'm doing right. i'm going crazy, i cut school today after 4th period to go home and hide myself. i'm getting very depressed, i don't know what to do anymore. i just wish my face would go back to normal like it used to be. anyways, can someone tell me what's the best to use right now as my face has like dark redish...i guess scars or blemishes, yet after i wash my face, they somewhat become a little peely and after popping and picking some acne, i have i guess little scabs and maybe a few pimples. what's the best thing...a regular non-name brand face cream thats like noxema, um, neutrogena oil-free acne wash or oil of olay. and what is "neoceuticals acne spot treatment gel" good for? my mom got me samples...thanks, please help me. =/

edit: oh and is vaseline okay to put on the scabby parts?

 

[calico]

Yes my eye lids feel very heavy and tired if I put vaseline on them. I'm not putting a lot on either.

Vaseline is absolutely amazing!!! I have combo sensitive skin prone to clogged pores and my skin has never been better! I do not need foundation and my skin looks airbrushed!! I use cetaphil daily facial cleanser and vaseline to moisturize at night. In the day i use cetaphil spf moisturizer with a bit of vaseline on top. Give it a try!!! AMAZING!!!!!

Im up for the challenge! Just slathered a thin layer of vaseline on my face yesterday night.Let's see how it goes...

 

[SupaFly10579]

[bronze_chiqz]

It's ok for anywhere. My cycling friend uses it down there to avoid chaffing on theose long bike rides.

Hi girls, using it on the face is all fine as it does work as a moisteriser, but look at the results when you use it on the lashes, you get lucious eyelashes and they don't fall out as much, but then think... will it promote hair growth on your face? that bit worries me.
