Vaseline: anti aging?

[spion1]

I wouldn't dare try it either. Too risky for my oily acne prone skin. Maybe they just have exceptionally good skin and genes and it has nothing to do with the vaseline?

I have used it on my eyelashes for years, whenever I think of it. The next day if I put on mascara they are crazy thick. It also makes them softer (good for butterfly kisses!).

Can;t imagine using it on my face, cause of blemish-prone skin. Isn't it toxic?! That's what the hippies say!! Or maybe to them it's an environmental concern, fossil fuels, etc.

I think you need to dilute it with water if you want to use it on the face, but I don't think I would try it. It feels heavy, and I might get it smeared all over my pillow!

I like it on my lips and my cracked heels, but my face - NEVER! I would be a complete broken-out mess the next day.

I use it to remove any eye makeup, and to moisturise dry elbows too.

Btw, someone mentioned 'creamy vaseline', how is it like? It is a lotion or something?

 

[aeys1]

It's good for your lips but all over the face? I don't know...

I have the creamy version. It's like a thick and rather greasy cream. I actually got it because of this thread. I liked the positive effects of Vaseline mentioned here, but I didn't want to risk breaking out, so I tried Vaseline Deep Moisture Creamy Formula. It is very moisturizing, but I haven't really noticed anything amazing from it. I think I'll risk using the regular version of Vaseline next time. For reference, I have combination skin and I don't think that I'm break out prone (strange -- I know, but I'm just not quite sure about that, lol). I use this as a night treatment, but if you have dry skin, you could probably get away with using it as a day time moisturizer too. I actually tried it during the day with some loose powder over it, and I like it. It didn't look very oily or greasy.

I found some good smelling vaseline with lavender scent and one with shea butter at Walgreens. I have been using these on feet, legs, arms, hands and cuticles. Very smooth skin now !

The creamy vaseline is nice on feet and legs too and does not leave a greasy residue at all.

I would only recommend vaseline to individuals that are not acne prone. Vaseline helps prevent evaporation of moisture from the skin and protects the skin from irritation. Be aware that petrolatum (vaseline) can cause allergic skin reactions in the hypersensitive individuals. Emollients like vaseline are good for restoring moisture to parched areas of dried-out lips etc. But in order for that to work, you need to apply it obsessively!! The more frequent the application of the vaseline, the faster your results.

I have actually heard of this but I have never tried it. I am 32 years old and I smoked on and off for quite awhile. So I am going to try this for a couple of weeks and see what happens. I couldn't read all the posts in this thread but have the experiments (sp?) worked out well?

For many of the ladies on here it has. That's partly why we made the thread a "sticky", so people could find it easier. Give it a try and post your results.

I tried vaseline for the first time last night and I have to admit I was really impressed. I really thought that is might be possible I could have woke up with pimples galore but I didn't and my skin felt great. I am going to stick with it for awhile. Thanks all you beauty pioneers that tried it first.

Hello, I'm new around here. Just wanted to say HI and also wanted to ask you people if you have any other tips regarding antiaging products beside vaseline

Thanks

Moisturiaze like crazy. Anything with some oil in it. Use it like crazy. I have always used vaseline on my feet though.

Good morning Max06 and Welcome Aboard to Make-Up Talk! There is so much to see on this site and learn. Please visit the forums that advertise skin care products and if you see a few that strike your fancy then contact them for help.

Vaseline is not for all individuals. If you are acne prone, I wouldn't advise using it on your face. But Kookie-for-coco is correct. Vaseline can safely be applied to feet, (be sure and wear socks) elbows, hands, etc.

Welcome to mut! Depending on what your questions are, I would first suggest using the search function because there are many, many threads about anti-aging and different products. The Vaseline thread is a "sticky" because so many people looked for it on the site and it seems to work for many. It is, by no means, the only thing out there. If, after doing a search, you still don't find an answer to what you're looking for, then start a new thread and ASK! If we can help you, we will!

I just started using Vaseline two days ago!!!

I am acne prone and oily.. so here goes the review.

I do not feel like it stays on top of my skin, it actually penetrates and leaves my skin smooth. I don't notice any line reduction yet, but I haven't gotten a pimple! I will let you know more once I start using it regularly!

I use it to remove my eye makeup using a cotten ball. Works fantastic

, plus it moisturized my eye area. I don't think i'd put it all over my face though. That would feel a bit gross.
