Vaseline: anti aging?

[justgreen444]

Golden jojoba oil is actually one of the best moisturizers. It absorbs right into the skin, instead of 'sitting' on it. Jojoba is the closest thing to our own natural sebum. Grapeseed oi, emu, and organic coconut oil (no smell) make great facial moisturizers and can be used before applying make-up if you wait five minutes and give them time to absorb.

I prefer jojoba, but I'm out of it, so i'm using grapeseed and coconut right now.

I also cleanse my face with oils. I use a 50/50 mix of sweet almond oil and virgin olive oil. I apply the oil to my face (it only takes a squirt or two), then steam my face with a very warm cloth. This allows the pores to open up and the oils penetrate faster and soften and push the dirt and blackheads to the surface. I do this 3-4 times a week, the rest of the time I use water only. No soap, no products with chemicals in them.

I think it probably conditions them or coats them so when I put my mascara on it comes off easier without pulling out any lashes??
What were you expecting btw? I thought I'd have huuge zits all over the place by now.

Castor Oil should help with your lash problem!

Not to say jojoba oil isn't all that but I personally think vaseline/petroleum jelly is safe for your skin.
You guys should also consider Vitamin A&D ointment - also sold in the baby aisle!

Ooo! I am so getting this! Thanks. love!

Ok I know I can find almond oil and olive oil .. does it make a difference if its organic or not? also for the olive oil .. does it have to be the extra virgin variety?

I didn't do the vaseline last night b/c my face felt like an oil slick halfway through the day, and my days now go until much later, so I really need my m/u to last.

my tip of the day is take a plastic spoon and break off just the spoon part and stick it in the vaseline tub. i have long nails and im not into getting vaseline stuck under ithen and i also feel sticking my hands in it will put germs in it so i keep the spoon in there to scoop a bit out and use just what i need with out getting under my nails filled with the vaseline

I tried the oil cleansing method last night followed by dove sensitive soap and vaseline and I love it!!! My face felt so soft and smooth this morning! Hopefully I've found a regimine that will work and I can stick with! Also, if you look down the baby aisle at Wal-Mart, they sell tubes of 100% petroleum with a little teddy bear on the front for 1.00! It's a lot more convenient and hygienic.

It's working great for me! The hardest part is waiting for it to sink in at night and feeling a little greasy! My skin looks and feels awesome though.

 

[missmonroe]

well i survived night one! lol no new breakouts...i hope i don't jinx myself thought

and actually it seems like the two small pimples i had are going away so yay for that....other than that my skin looked AMAZING this morning...i'm young but get fine lines around my eyes and mouth (i smile/laugh alot) and my face was definately alot smoother and glowy today. I hope this keeps working with no repercussions..........
