My parents have sworn by vaseline for years. Both my mother and father put it on their faces after a shower and before bed. I tried this once in my teen years in an attempt to help my acne, but all that happened was that my face stuck to the pillow that night. I never tried it again. However, both of my parents skin looks great for their ages. I hope great genes has something to do with it (for my sake). They never used SPF or any anti-aging creams, not even my mother.
My mom swears by Nivea too. She uses the original forumula on her face, as does my grandmother. And let me tell you, my grandmother's skin is AMAZING. She grew up in the country doing work outside all days, sans SPF or anything, and people are always complimenting her skin.

Nivea and I are still having a arguement about why it wont behave. i will give it another go. I swear its like being in an abusive relationship.

my mom asked an important question-are we getting these results simply because we are being dedicated and washing our faces every nite? my answer is no but yes at the same time. ill admit i have never really been dedicated to washing my face at night. i go through phases where i do it every single night for a month then fall off track. its been a week for me and yes ive been extreamly dedicated. BUT the reason i am so dedicated is because i SEE RESULTS. the very first night i saw results. and the one night i didnt do it i saw the results of that too. i see its doing amazing things for my skin so im dedicated because of that, if i didnt see results i think i would have fallen off the bandwagon

My lips get sore I slather vaseline on them and put a warm wet cloth over the top. It always sooths my lips and makes them REALLy soft, I think I might try that all over my face...

I love Nivea, I don't use it as a moisturizer but as an MU remover and it works great!

I'm still to chicken to use it on my face, but I put it on my feet every morning and before I go to bed. I'm always barefoot, my feet are now like a baby's butt.

oh I forgot to mention , seeing as we dont have vaseline here in france I use pure petroleum jelly. It comes in a tube (labeled vaseline lol) and its more like Gel than the vaseline texture so its easy to spread on and doesnt feel as sticky.. I dont know if that makes any difference with the "anti aging" properties but it sure does make using it easier.
BTW if anyone wants to know why a 23 year old has suddenly become obsessed with slowing down time ...its because I found a white hair smack in the middle of my bangs!!!!!!!
Please tell me I'm not the only one going prematurely gray!
hey don't worry about it. It's probably from stress. I found my first grey hair when I was 13! Weird huh? I wouldn't worry too much. You're not over the hill yet :]
And this girl I used to work with uses vaseline everynight before she goes to bed and has amazing skin. I'm not sure if she's acne prone or not. I sure as hell am.

And she learned it from her mom. This is a "home remedy" in our culture for moisterizer before there were name brand ones. You can use it for shiny teeth (heard about this from a Miss USA pageant contestant), face, cuts, scars, etc.

as another update i used my pore strips again. my chin is my problem area,followed by my nose and the occasionally my forehead and cheeks.
results
chin-really no more than usual. i actually had more comming out when i was using the sally hansen spray foundation
nose-very few. my nose has been producing less "gunk" lately past few months ive seen a decrease in what comes out
forehead-pulled out like 2 things.
cheeks-i had 4 zits on my cheek that have pretty much gone away just the..ike left overs are left and the pore strip only pulled out that. there is one blackhead i did notice on my right cheek after i put my pore strips on and i didnt feel like getting out another one.
so the moral of the story is now one week later if vaseline was doing anything horriable to my pores the pore strips would be pulling out even more gunk that usual right? right. and there isnt. so. vaseline and dove soap continues to be the miracle combination.

My dermatologist is a well-know dermatologist in the NYC area and I when I asked him about vaseline he said it is one of the few chemicals out there rarely anyone can be allergic too. In fact, he himself has never heard of a case where someone is allergic to pure white petroleum jelly (in other words vaseline that does not have any additional chemicals). So if your skin is extremely sensitive, it's probably the a good idea to use vaseline. In his words: it is a matter of preference. Few people actually prefer greasy materials compared to nice skin moisturizers and that is why it's not recommended as a moisturizer. It works though and it is safe - my sensitive skin has been fine for about 2 months now so I will continue to use it!
