Vaseline: anti aging?

[Jeny81]

Hello people and thank you for your advices. I tried once vaseline and the result wasn't pretty, so ...I don't want to try it again. That is way i'm interested in finding a cream that should solve my problems and gave results as soon as possible .

Thank you

For my wrinkles I have used XXXXspam edited by moderatorxxx products, they made my face look younger and brighter. The best thing about these creams is that they are made from natural ingredients and they are not tested on animals. I am glad thet my face looks very young now.

Vaseline has no active ingredients that will take the wrinkles away. Its function is to heal dry skin, protects skin from wind burn and chapping, and will reduce the appearance of fine, dry lines. It holds in moisture when applied to the skin.

i use it before bed on my feet then i wear socks..

Socks are a must when using vaseline on your feet. If applying vaseline to your hands I would suggest wearing gloves for awhile until the vaseline goes into the skin

I have been wondering the same thing...anyone have any comments?

SO then if you wear it on your face... shoudl you wear a face mask?? stupid question maybe... sorry .. sorta spamming..

I would suggest if wearing vaseline on your face that you apply it lightly to the skin so it will asorb in and not get on your pillow cases when your sleep.

I was curious when reading this thread how to keep it off of the pillow cases? I have heard of this for feet for a long time, but I can't stand having socks on my feet in bed...I am a barefoot gal.

okay so its been months, my face has def. improved but im not happy with it right now...on my cheek, theres this area where i had a large, somewhat long, dry bump. kinda seemed like it spread across my cheek, but anyways, in a few areas of it, it had heads that i popped and most of this bump went away. but now its in one place and i dont want to mess with it again, after i did once to make it smaller, unlike all the other bumps that just went away. i was using an exfoliating scrub for a while, seemed like it helped my face. but i wanna know how to get rid of this. its a little dark on top, and smooth, i can tell theres puss in it, but i dont wanna irritate it. how could i get rid of it? and/or what is it?

and basically, i just wanna know what to use to bring my face back to how it used to be, when i was like 12 or 13. just random pimples but nice smooth skin. i wish i knew what to use. =/ when is this gonna end? im thinking about proactiv, think its worth it?

You only use a very thin layer of vaseline so not much will make it to your pillow case. But, some will and I guess you just have to change them a bit more frequently.

Interesting thread so far...personally I'd be a bit nervous about using Vaseline on my skin, but for those who had great results more power to you! I find that using cocoa butter works nicely. However, I do love Vaseline for my hands and feet (perfect for the cold Canadian winters!) What I usually do is apply a bit of lotion, then 'seal' it in with Vaseline and wear socks (or cheap gloves). In the winter I do this right after my showers before I go to bed and it definitely helps keep my skin from getting all dry and flaky/cracking.

Prisca, Welcome to MUT.

Have you seen the Oil Cleansing thread? Very interesting!

 

[Prisca712]

Hi allyoop, thanks for the welcome

I haven't seen the Oil Cleansing thread - I'll check it out (I'm already learning so much just browsing the forum!)

Sometimes desparation kicks in and people will try anything to fix or improve their skin. You can always try a 'test' area of your face before you take the plunge...then if you rash, turn red, breakout, it's just a small spot and not your whole face?? I wish I'd done that myself sometimes!

can you put it on with a normal moisturizer? maybe i wil do my regular moisturizer in the morning, and vaseline at night. hmm. ill try it.

Hi there,

why should someone use vaseline and not a product that could help and moisture her skin just vaseline does ?I tried vaseline once and it was awfull...

 

[allyoop]

You lose moisture from your skin through evaporation. I venture to guess that it helps by holding moisture in. It is best to moisturize regardless of what you use, immediately after showering.
