My dear grandma, who trained as a beautician in the 1930’s, would remove her makeup every evening with Vaseline and then add another layer as her nighttime moisturizer. As a teen in the early 90’s who was fully on the “oil-free” train I thought she was insane. But I was stripping my skin with foaming cleansers and saturating it with alcohol toners and wondering why I still had zits! She lived to 95 and had beautiful, supple skin until the end. Grandma knew a thing or two after all!
Did she use a cleanser to remove her makeup 💄? Then go in with the Vaseline every night? Or, just use Vaseline all the time instead of a cleanser? Thank you in advance.
My mom used Preparation H because it softened like Vaseline but it would help shrink her pores, too. It smelled bad but worked.
Yaasss!!! I was a teenager in the 90's as well and Vaseline was deemed the worst! I was on the Sea Breeze train as well and had horrible dried out acne skin. My mom swore by Vaseline on our diaper areas when we were babies and there was always a jar in the house growing up. I am so glad that I know the errors of my youth. I had no idea all the uses until Dr. Dray came onto my scene.
I, too, was a teenager in the 90s! If a product had a speck of oil, or if the ingredients list contained something that was deemed to be a comedogenic ingredient, I did not go near it! But if it had alcohol, no problem! 🤣Skip ahead to 2023, and I am 45 and slather my self in creams, oils, and occlusives every night!
@@babyprecious9147 No, she used the Vaseline like an oil cleanser. From what I recall she applied the Vaseline onto dry skin like a balm cleanser and then removed it with cotton balls, in the same way that women used to cleanse with cold cream. She may have followed up by rinsing her face with warm water, but I honestly don’t remember that part. She was a fastidiously clean woman though, so she wouldn’t have done it if it left any grime or residue.
On the way to work before the sun rose, my Mom tripped over a broken parking lot bumper. She cracked open the nose skin big time & was bleeding profusely. She went home, washed, packed it with Vaseline & bandaged it. Called me afterwards. We waited hours in ER. Dr looked at it, re-bandaged it & said she had done a spectacular job. It was already healing! Didn't need stitches! And she was left only with a minor scar.
Cool!
Wet wounds heal better with minimal scarring over dry wounds. Make sure it doesn't get infected.
WOW!!

My best friend's mother used vaseline on her face every night and at 86 she had no wrinkles whatsoever. Her skin looked amazing. So yes it does work miracles.
It’s true I know an auntie she uses Vaseline every night she is in her 70 but looks 50-60
@@annielin2894 But how do they keep it from rubbing against your pillow??
Same with my grandma when she died aged 88, not one wrinkle on her face.
@@repentjesusiscomingsoon1529 Maybe, apply after washing your face so it will absorb easier. If you apply with dry skin most likely won't absorb as good. Hope it works!
@@PeaceandLove0704 Thanks so much for answering, Laura, blessings to you!!
I’ve been using Vaseline around my eyes for 45 years to treat the dryness on the skin of my eyelids and under my eyes. I started using it as a teenager, and it’s the longest skincare regime I have used, and I am 60 years old.
I highly recommend using Vaseline than wasting money on high end and expensive eye creams.
I stopped using Vasaline because I was told Vasalie thins your skin.
I started using vaseline for few months ,but after I started getting small little pimple on my eyelids I just stopped using it .
I have very sensitive and combination skin ,so I know now I can't use Vaseline. I try on my face because, and I got pimples the next day
@@eileendapaletemps3548it takes a few weeks for a pimple to come to the surface of your skin. Most likely you were going to get the pimple anyway….just a coincidence. My under eyes are sensitive too. I can not use eye serums, it will cause irritation. I can use Vaseline tho…
@@eileendapaletemps3548it's called milia. You had milia
I struggled with horrible dry eyelids and under eyes for several months. Could not get it to go away for anything. After reading your comment I tried Vaseline and it completely fixed it. Thank you!!!
When growing up in Finland my mother used to put Vaseline on our faces before going out into the winter to play all day.
Preventing us from wind , cold and possibly frost bite.
Same here when growing up in the North in the United States.
Same
same here in Minnesota~ and greased our wrists and ankles so you never got that ice/snow rash where your mittens or boots end.
Same here in Montreal, Canada! I had 3 very blonde boys who got frost-bitten cheeks and never thought of applying anything but vaseline to their cheeks when they played outside in the winter - just like my mother did for me some 70 odd years ago!
That's smart, as a protective agent I think it's fine.
We have been bamboozled by nutrition and skincare. Eat the eggs, use Vaseline. So simple and effective. My grandmother used to slightly heat it in a small dedicated pot just for Vaseline to warm it up and thin it out. She then applied it warm to her face. EVERY NIGHT.
That is a great idea!
My daughter, at age seven, had horrible cracks in the bottom of her feet. Sometimes they would bleed. The doctor suggested a prescription cream that didn't work and then another cream. Both of them came in a tube only slightly larger than my baby finger and both cost close to $50. Neither helped and so in desperation I slathered her feet with Vaseline, put cotton socks on her and sent her to bed. In the morning there was a great improvement. By the end of the week her feet were totally healed. I also found it to be a great treatment for diaper rash (back in the day before disposables.) The Vaseline provided a moisture barrier and cleared up the problem.
I use creamy Vaseline if I can find it. Never have cracks.
In India, almost everyone does the vaseline trick for cracks in your feet. Even doctors recommend it.
A dermatologist many years ago told me to use Vaseline. He was over 60 at the time with no wrinkles
Can we just take a moment to admire how good Andrea looks compared to her older videos? She looks stunning, healthy, happier, bright. Love her.
not human demonic!!!
I agree. Her skin is more even and she finally got her eyebrows done right. No sharp edge in the arch, although I think they are too long at ends. But what a difference. Lovely.
It's a ring light.
Yup, hopefully her bulimia problem has gone away
Hey, yes I thought the same thing!! Love it!! Go girl🙌
Who else is loving Dr Dray's colorful looks and makeup? Did someone get their color analysis done? 👀🙂😏
I think it makes her look 80
BAH HUMBUG! She looks lovely. Annnnnd… I also like her hair up!
@williamcaswell1990 she looks mature but good. Do you know how old she is? She looks about 46
@@mysmirandam.6618 she's like 42 but in her vlogs she looks about 30!!! It's not just about looks either overall skin health is more important than physical appearance! her skin looks very very healthy
First thing I noticed was how pretty she looks here.
Vaseline was the only thing my Grandmother used on her face at night. I remember being very young and thinking she was crazy because her skin looked so greasy at night before bed. Needless to say she knew something we all did not. She lived to be 87 and her skin was flawless, she had a few wrinkles around her eyes but not many at all. I remember when I was in my 20's looking at her skin and how flawless and smooth it was. I always thought it would clog my pores because I suffered with acne for years and years. Today, I am 56 and honestly after watching this video thinking about going back to vaseline just like Grandmom. I too read many things that scared me away from Vaseline during the years. Thank you Dr. Dray for having the courage and wisdom to bring this back to us.
Was her skin soft or soft AND firm?? Being soft isn't enough for me. I'd rather have firm, glowing skin.
I always thought Vaseline would be too suffocating for the face. Don’t know why I thought that.
I grew up in the 50's and it was either Vaseline or Noxema as far as skincare goes. Also we weren't into washing your face with chemical strippers - plain soap and water. I now have exzema on my face and when it was diagnosed the doctor told me to wash my face and slather on vaseline. It works like a charm!
Thank you. I'm going to try it.
I wonder if it’s safe for seb derm I’m dealing with dry flaky scaly skin:( tons of oils fatty alcohols feed the yeast unfortunately
god I love the smell of Noxema
Dont forget Ponds Cold Creme!!!
@@cheery-hexI love it too! It smells like the 80s and 90s to me☺😊
I LOOOVE using vaseline on my face😍I slather my entire face with it before going to sleep and I wake up with the softest skin✨vaseline has done more for my skin than all these overhypes overpriced products out there
It is really helpful
@@DrDrayzdaywht about rosica around nose and chin..is it effective?
How do you wash it off? Oil cleanser ? 🤔
@@tangomango5360 washing it off defeats the purpose of using it. It will sink in and absorb & does not need to be washed off
Me too. Learned from previous videos from Dr. Dray, so doing it for over one year now. Also use on my neck, shoulders and chest. Just wish I had learned it sooner.
Safety Tip: when using Vaseline on your feet at bedtime, do wear socks so you don't slip and fall.
and at lunch / dinner make sure your hands are vaseline free
so your knife and fork don't become dangerous projectiles.
Lol you guys are funny
Several years ago I had huge areas of dermatitis on my face caused from using some essential oils as skin care🙄. At the time I was clueless as to what the oils were actually doing to my skin. The dermatologist had me use Vaseline exclusively on my face for two weeks. He told me to put some Vaseline in my hand with a few drops of water & make a sort of cream & rub it in the the skin. I was horrified! He calmed me down & said many of his patients used it as skin care & had done so for years. The dermatitis cleared & my skin looked great!!
I just tried doing the water trick. Goes on MUCH better! Fantastic tip.
Thank you for this tip! I’m experiencing an allergic reaction to a sunscreen and my face has been itchy for over a week, and I’ve tried so many “remedies”.
I’m going to try Vaseline.
@@nylas7623 good luck! Hope it works for you.
Don't use Essential oils on your face folks😂😮
My sister was just in town with a purse full of essential oils and crystals 🤦♀️ she insisted on rubbing my dads feet with lavender oil. I said that’s incredibly irritating and she looked at me like I’m an idiot and said “it’s fine if it’s mixed with an emollient”. She dropped it into a handful of lotion and went to town on my poor pops. This “natural” craze needs to stop.
I am 68 years old (aging,dryness, wrinkles), and I fight rosacea. I've been using Vaseline to remove my eye makeup. It's cost friendly ( I'm on social security ), and I find it effective.
As a young teenager in the 60's I have used petroleum jelly as my main stay. This normally horrified women in my life when they learned this about me. I just attended my 50-year class reunion, I look fabulous and decades younger than my peers because of using the vasoline ;)
Yep same here I go back n forth between Vaseline and Nivea cream. It’s the same products that stayed on my grandma’s vanity so it’s what I use.
I used to snob Vaseline, until I gave my face a chemical burn from using skin products incorrectly. It was taking weeks to heal and was a flakey and inflamed. I looked up how to treat a chemical burn and Vaseline was suggested. After 3 days my burn was almost healed. I’m still in shock. It will forever be part of my skin care regimen ❤ sorry for judging you mom😂
Been using vaseline for well over 35 years. My grandmother did this and had the most gorgeous skin.
I was really struggling with the chlorine in the pool this summer. I took your advice about applying it before swimming and it’s made a huge difference, especially around my eyes. Thank you for all of the science based, practical information you provide!
I love your videos and your earrings and lipstick lol 😊
Around your eyes means
Should one apply serums etc prior to applying vaseline
I wonder if it’s bad for the pool and also to fry your face with the sun
Its an occlusive so it forms a layer on the skin that keeps things out
Great info. I’m a big fan of Vaseline. When I was a swim instructor and we were in the pool 4-6 hours a day, I covered my body in Vaseline because it protected me from the chlorine and from drying my skin out
I have been using Vaseline to my under eye area for years which has helped me to have decreased lines. So listening to you tonight 11/1/2023 is confirming. Also, I am happy to know that I can use it after my skincare at night. Yes, it does help in healing the skin if irritated. I normally go back and forth between Olive Oil/Vaseline for irritation to skin. Now after watching your video I am more comfortable to continue its use. Thank you very much.
Do you have milia?
@@holisticstarhealing8673 No! That is a medical condition which I don’t feel has to do with skin care.
@@pansywalker9017 just asked :)
@@pansywalker9017 I don't truly believe that it's a medical condition but just my opinion. When we block the skin cells, which need oxygen for optimal health, it doesn't allow the natural exfoliation of the skin cells to turn over. So we keep occluding and congesting the skin cells with petroleum and silicone, among other film forming agents.
@@holisticstarhealing8673 I totally understand, but you have to wash face daily for cleansing. I have not experienced that condition thank God. I have been exfoliating mechanically three times per week to promote cell turnover for years. My basic care was cleanse, witch hazel astringent, exfoliate and moisturize with weekly mask of egg, milk and honey. I also steamed my face with chamomile tea first before masking. Plus I drink 10-12 glasses of water 💧 per day. I never used sunscreen, but now I do. I’ve been living in Florida for over 30 years and the sun’s heat has definitely changed. Overall, a healthy lifestyle is key to good skin.
My skin has always been really oily and I tried to follow the "use a lightweight/gel/foam moisturizer" advice. The thing that genuinely helped my skin get to more balanced state was to use a super occlusive moisturizer/slug at night. Did it feel heavy? Yes. Did I wake up in the morning as a greaseball for a while? Also yes. But then my skin stopped being sensitive and oily during the day.
Would you mind sharing your brand of super-occlusive moisturizer?
Thanks for this comment. This coming from a 52 yr old that has extremely oily skin. 😊
@yasminbarry7941 vaseline......aquafor is great too.
Yes! Me too! I've always been very oily. Now that I use occlusives like triple paste or Vaseline a few nights a week, I'm less oily throughout the day. I think my skin was over "making oil" because I was actually dry. Not sure but I'm happy I figured it out.
My mom used Vasoline every night on her face for decades and she always had soft skin well into her 80s. I have started using it as an eye cream at night. Love it!! Works as good if not better than those high priced designer eye creams. Thanks mom💗.
Was it soft or soft AND firm? Being soft isn't enough.
@@meghanmisaliarThat's genetics..
I'm 72. I've been using Vaseline since I was a child and my Mom would apply it to my hands and elbows and feet after bathing me. Now I use it around my eyes at night (I also use a tretinoin cream but NEVER under Vaseline) and on my cuticles and occasionally all over my face. I have also been using it to get stubborn mascara and mineral sunscreen off before washing my face at night. People say I have beautiful skin for an old lady.
I occasionally use the Aquaphor or Cerave healing ointments but just plain old cheap Vaseline works for me.
I can't go to bed without using it on my lips.
What is tretinoin cream please?
@@jamierogers4530 Retin-A is the brand I use but my comment implies that I use it on my eyes. Nope. Nope. Too irritating.
@@jamierogers4530It is Retin A use to prevent wrinkles watch Dr Drays videos about it. I am 76 and look 60...not my opinion my dermatologist's. I have used it for decades. LOVE it and low cost compared to cosmetic treatments. Im going to start slugging with vaseline from time to time but I
Wont change from my nighttime RetinA/ Tretinoen.
72 is young!! I love Vaseline. I would coat my feet in it then wrap my feet in plastic wrap and put on socks! I've got great young looking feet. I do this twice a month. Got baby soft feet!
I know it's gross, but in winter, the air gets so dry that I wake up with a bloody nose almost every day. I use a slight coating of Vaseline on the inside of my nose at night and it keeps it from drying out overnight. I always hoped it was safe to use this way and now I feel much more assured. Thank you.
SAME!!!
I watch you regulaly, and have added vaseline to my nightly routine. The vaseline has improved my facial skin, greatly. Thank you so much!
I used to get compliments on my young looking skin up to 72. Didn’t use Vaseline but other market items. Now I am 75 and my skin is dry, more notable wrinkles, bags under the eyes. I read several comments of the wonders of Vaseline, as well as your video, I’m starting the Vaseline skin care!
I use either Vaseline or Aquafor every night on my lips and hands. Also use it on my feet under socks when the weather cools down. It's great for softening feet.
My mom is 77. Gets mistaken for 50 literally! Has used Vaseline on her face all adult life! At 58, wishing Id just done that too!
Same! I’m 43 and people think I’m in my mid 20’s!
Me to, I'm 54. My mama just passed the 13th 😓
Everyone always went on how young she looked and her pretty skin. She was 90, she looked 70. She would use ponds nightcream... Vaseline, that's all ❤
@tammymeadows3120 aw I'm sorry for your loss! Your mom sounds like a smart and pretty lady. My grandma also uses ponds alot and has stuck to it forever. I've used Vaseline lightly since I have naturally oily skin. But I know it was also Marilyn Monroe's secret product.
No time like the present to start the Vaseline routine! I love it!
My grandmother and her 6 sisters all born in from the 1920’s-1920’s, smeared Vaseline on their faces religiously, nightly. All lived well into their 80’s and had smooth, beautiful skin. They also avoided the sun with long sleeves, hats, gloves, etc.
I literally don't watch any skincare channels on YT. Dr.Dray more than enough and she is the best
I am loving your switch to playing with more color. Both as fashion and home decor. Loved your serious neutral looks with grey and navy but seeing more pops of color like orange has been a bright and cheery look. It's great to see more of your creativity with color.
Looked good in the orange jacket in this video.
I use Vaseline on my feet with socks, it’s wonderful. Name brand or generic doesn’t matter to me. My grandmother swore by Vaseline for many things and always used it on her face, she passed at 92 and of course she had wrinkles but her skin was super soft, clear and had a beautiful vibrancy to it.
Did your grandmother completely remove the Vaseline during the day or wear it alone or under makeup? Thanks!
All I know is my 104 year old Uncle used Vaseline on his face his whole adult life -- even as a pro golfer, who was out in the sun daily -- he had, to the very end, absolutely smooth, wrinkle free facial skin. It was so astonishing that a lot of people insisted he had to have had multiple face lifts. Nope, just Vaseline. I am a believer from empirical evidence. I use name brand Vaseline to remove eye makeup, and have done that for decades. Thanks for this!
What cloth or item do you wipe it off with? Thank you.
@@mefarias4879 Around my eyes, I use cotton balls. The rest of my face, a soft, damp washcloth, cotton.
I am 43 years old and have been using Vaseline on my face since I was 25 and I literally still look 25. I don’t have one single wrinkle.
@@littlemissmaybe480 Wow, that's amazing!
I use “Vasoline with Aloe” to moisturizer my hair. It does a better job for me than a hair oil.
Worked in a nursing home & one of my patients had the most beautiful skin. She told me she used Noxzema to cleanse her skin and vaseline for moisture since 1920s. She died in 2000 and I promise you not one wrinkle. Smooth, luscious skin. That was enough for me. I buy whichever brand is on sale lol I do like "nursery/ baby scent". I used it pretty much all over my body. It's good stuff, never did me wrong.
My grandmother use that combination as well❤🙏🏾
My mother always used Noxzema. Is it still on the market?
@@deepstategranny9730 yes it is, orginal in the blue jar. I get it at CVS
This explains so much!! Definitely going to pick some up for the winter! Thanks Dr. Dray.
Because of you I've been using Vaseline for many months and im loving my skin! I also apply it to my neck, hands and sometimes my feet ❤
Watching this with my face full covered with vaseline after my skincare routine... as every night and I love it 🥰
Thanks for all the info, doc 🤍
Just got out of bed and slapped some Vaseline on my skin 😂
I used to always put this under my eyes and am glad this video gave me more information about Vaseline and the advantages it has!!! Literally something so simple does wonders. Thank you Dr. Dray!! In Dr. Dray we trust 👏
I used Vaseline on both my babies bottoms & they never had diaper rash & that was 50 years ago! Thanks for this great information! 🥰
I used Vaseline regularly on my daughter’s bottom and she never had issues and a very happy baby. Also, have used for myself to remove eye makeup gently. I will always remember someone complaining about makeup they loved but it was impossible to remove. I said to try Vaseline, she thought I was crazy (back in the 90’s). Well she gave it a try and she was amazed and thought I was so knowledgeable!
It's what I used for my babies after a washed bottom and all have been great I recommend it to everyone.
Years ago my dermatologist gave me a little sample of an ointment to use on my face following having some "stuff" frozen off. I asked if I could buy it anywhere, and she said, "Yeah it's vaseline". I've been given that same little packet to use on areas following surgical incisions, and for healing scrapes. I love the Aquaphore Healing version and use it everywhere but always lips and hands at night and throughout the day. Thanks for reinforcing and reminding me. Love!
This really helps my eye dermatitis when it flares up, over the top of my light eye cream to seal all the moisture in. Every morning and night! It's also really great for when my eyes water profusely, in the outer corners, stops the skin splitting. ❤
I used Vaseline for my thigh chaffing after I saw your video about it and it helped me a lot when I wore shorts and dresses this summer.
Instead of mascara on some days, I appy vaseline lightly to my lashes and curl my lashes......they stay curled all day. I use it as a moisturizer especially in the cold climate winters....works perfectly!
This was so in-depth and informative. Thank you!
Vaseline was a staple in our medicine cabinet when I was growing up. We used it for everything... minor cuts and burns, rashes, dry skin, sunburn, chapped skin etc. These days, I always have a container in my home but don't use it quite as much as when I was a child. I've never tried it for slugging. It's very humid where I live so I can't imagine slathering my face with it. Happy Thursday, Dr Dray! I hope you have a peaceful evening. 💗
Incredibly useful information dispensed in a patient and methodical way. Great video.
My 7 month old son has eczema. I recently started using vaseline, it really helps him.
I don’t typically slug, but I do when I’m headed outside on dry cold winter days (mountains may be snowy but the air is super dry) or even headed on a flight. Works beautifully so I don’t get indoors after a long day outside or off the plane with dry, itchy, irritated skin.
I wont ever let myself run out of vaseline. I use it for so many things in my beauty routine from using it as a lip balm to slugging to protecting my skin when dying my hair or painting my nail and more
So informative! Thanks for sharing this with us!
Me too.
Been putting Vaseline on my face after cleaning for the last 28 years. Have just turned 60 abd no one believes my age... ❤❤❤
just appreciate all of your excellent info and caring for all of us! You are awesome!!
When my nostrils are dry, cracked, and/or bleeding from having the heat on during winter, I swab a small amount of vaseline inside my nostrils to restore moisture. It’s very soothing!
Thank you dr. Dray for de-stigmatizing Vaseline AKA petroleum jelly for me. I have been a big fan of it for about a year now but before that, I thought I would immediately break out if I ever even touched it. You have helped so many people with their skin and with saving money, thank you for all that you do!
It’s not de-stigmatizing is justification with flawed reasoning
Vaseline as my nighttime moisturizer has been lifechanging! Only thing that clears my skin up no matter what
I just started using Vaseline because of your videos. Applying a small amount on my face before bed is a lifesaver for my dry, dehydrated skin. I also like applying it all over the eye area during the day, as well as on my lips. I usually buy brand name, because it's the same or similar price as the off brands are where I am and much more common. I can find a tub of Vaseline at almost every store here lol.
I love Dr.Dray! She's really helped my skin and my pocketbook!🤩
Same!!! The MOST trusted derm on YT!
What a review. Unbelievable information that you are sharing. Thank you so much 😊
My HANDS have been a concern, with the skin being practically translucent and the veins becoming visible. Hand lotions alone, did nothing. Then, after hearing this, I got some Vaseline and put that on my hands AFTER, the skin cream. Well, I’m happy to say that after a week of doing this, my hands are finally in better shape. Thicker skin that is not as translucent, and veins not visible. I’m very glad about this.
I’ve used it my entire 60 yr old life with severe eczema issues. It helps seal in water after bathing and It was so soothing for burning and dryness. I Also used it for diaper rash, abrasions and cuts which helped immediately with stinging.
I used it to strengthen my skin barrier on my eyelids as i kept getting irritations and then a rash and now i do it every night. Its currently Winter in SA and its normally when i suffer flare ups and its truly helped!
I don’t know how you keep reading my thoughts Dr Dray! Everything I’m like dang I’d love some more information about this specific thing, within a week you have a video on the topic, it’s literally amazing lol. Keep doing the good and prosperous work doctor, you are heaven send!
Thank you for clearing up information on Vaseline❤
I am so glad that Dr. Dray did a video on this. I watch a skincare YTuber(not a doctor) video that warned people not to use Vaseline because it is harmful being derived from petroleum. Greatful to get information from Dr. Dray.
Our pills from Big Pharma are derived from petroleum.
I have used Vaseline on my face daily for over 35 years. I have painful eczema and it is the only thing I have found to comfort my skin. The bonus for me is it's unscented.
Thank you for dispelling those myths!
I think my mom used to keep petroleum, jelly, or Vaseline on hand at home when I was little but I haven’t really used it at all since I was younger, but I bought some when I went to the store a week ago and as I was listening to this video, I just applied it to every area he mentions and I can’t wait to continue using it to see how it helps or if it does, super excited❤👍 I mean I knew it was good for burns and rough skin but I didn’t realize it could be used for skin care 🙌
Thank you! Even hearing that you see the scar under your eye as a reminder of your strength was very valuable to me.
Your videos and advice is truly invaluable. Thank you 🌷
Good morning!!! I personally use this for my lips and I use it on my eczema flare ups. Also in areas that just get extra dry. It’s great! Bc of my very very sensitive skin, I don’t where face make up except blush or bronzer. I started using it on my son too. It works so well.
Omg you’re my skin twin! Do you mind asking you what else you use for the flares up?
Love Vaseline around my eyes and on my lips at night. Your hair looks fabulous in this video! 😊
Thanks for this informative info, & busting the myths!
You don’t usually wear colours, you look great. As always thx for your honesty on skincare. You are right, I bought cereVe ointment and it does just as you said. It clear up my cuts, rashes and burns. 🥰🇨🇦
I use Aquaphor as eye cream as well as lip balm. So cheap and lasts a long time.
I have had several episodes of allergic eczema or contact dermatitis , and typically I never figure out the source. I will say that when my eyelids have been effected, in the evening I will wash, pat water on my eyelids and use petroleum jelly. After a few days the dry, itchy skin is much relieved. Once used over most of my face when I had a bad episode and got excellent relief results. Thank you for your continued valuable research and information. Love your content and your honest delivery.🌻😊
Thank you, dr Dray. Love you’re videos!
Love this video! About a week and a half ago, I had a moderate skin reaction to, what I believe, a makeup wipe. I woke up swollen and beet red. I stopped all skincare and used a mild cleanser, mild M
moisturizer, and topped off with lots of vaseline. Some some mornings I only splashed my face with water and reapplied vaseline. After a week, it was soooo much better, and as of today, completely gone. Being a combo oily acne prone gal, I never believed I could "slog," but I'm hooked!
I use PONDS and I believe it has Vaseline. It was recommended to me from a 89 year old lady, who had beautiful skin , who used it for years. I Find it helps my combo skin (to clean it without stripping thev moisture).
I love ponds
Thanks. Was afraid of clogged pore but now I know.
Loving the blazers! So stylish ❤🔥
WOW!!!!!! I have eczema, I did not realize that vaseline is good for skin!! Thank you Dr. Dray.
This is good information. Was told Vaseline is not good for the skin because of the carcinogenic properties. However, my sister and I always love how vaseline hydrates the skin. Now that we know that the carcinogen contaminates with Vaseline usage is a myth we feel relieved thanks to you Dr. Dray.
I love Vanicream's Moisturizing Ointment. One of the few ointments that isn't greasy and feels almost matte (not fully). I love that one!
I use it around my eyes and on my lips every night. Really great - completely eliminates the pesky dry spots on the inside of my eyebrows. Would not be without it. ❤
My grandmother used Vaseline all her life till she passed at 92 and looked much younger, like 72 at the most.
Dayum Dr. Dray, you are lookin' good! 🧡
I bought an inexpensive petroleum jelly that had vanilla fragrance added to it (cvs brand). They were sold out of regular unscented. Won't use it on my face for fear of breaking out. So I use it on my feet. I didn't want to waste it. I discovered that it really helped to soften my feet without having to soak & exfoliate with a pumice block, etc. Will only use unscented on my face and body.
Btw I love your earrings. They're super cute!❤ I always feel smarter after watching your videos. Thank you for all of your educational information. 💖
I was hesitant when my PCP told me to use Vaseline for my itchy dry skin. But once I tried it I liked it much better than creams & lotions which now seem cold & sticky to me. Applied thinly, Vaseline is more comfortable. Doesn't drip. A little goes a long ways.
I apply it to wet skin after bathing - just a little blob per arm or leg can be very quickly spread thin over wet skin.
Thank you dr Dre!! By the way LOVE your earrings so beautiful!
Love the bright color on you Dr. Gray! Awesome info, thanks!
My mother used Vaseline on her face every night before going to bed. Not a wrinkle on her face to the day that she passed away at the age of 76.
Dr Dray you look soo beautiful! Thank you for getting into the nitty gritty of Vaseline. I’ve used it on my face while experiencing an allergic reactions occasionally on my face. 53 yo no wrinkles visible around my eyes. I do use Elta MD Renewal/PM lotion and Elta MD Facial sunscreen daily. I also wear sunglasses religiously since I was young. I worked at a Dermatology Clinic for over 11 years learned a lot during that time zero fillers nor BOTOX due to my allergy history. Thank you for the informational videos. 🙏🏽❤️
Thanks for this. BTW your hair, makeup and clothed look fabulous ❤
Thanks for putting this out Dr D. Yes, agree; after my extensive MOH’s surgery for basal cell carcinoma, my plastic surgeon advised Vaseline be applied to the area across the affected side of my face. I’ve now been using it daily for months on all my face. Excellent product and so inexpensive.
Thank you for posting this. I’m having MOHS surgery on my face for basal cell carcinoma next month
@@maggie_codes wishing you the very best. I also use Eucerin Aquaphor which works well especially when you follow the medical advice on post surgical massaging.
I tried to stop a dog fight (don’t try it; consider using a fire extinguisher or throw a heavy blanket on them instead to try to break it up) and got bit in my wrist which landed me in the ER. I got an oral antibiotic, but my follow up visits to the doctor suggested I use petroleum jelly on my wounds once they closed up. I was using a topical antibiotic because I wanted to keep the scars moisturized so they heal better, but she told me to use Vaseline instead.
Thanks for this video! Your skin is beautiful, by the way. I'm a lifelong Vaseline user, although I've used other "brands" and not noticed much difference. I use it on the lips, hands in wintertime, etc. Never thought about using it as a moisturizer before bed - might have to give that a shot.
I had a cut on my left hand last month. Watched Dr. Dray about using Vaseline for healing. Bam! Healed up in one week!
Love the water analogy for discussing the purity of petroleum jelly! 💕 People just need to use their brains!
I use any of the ointments - Vaseline, aquaphor, cerave, or store brands around my nose. It gets very irritated and itchy in allergy season. Putting an occlusive there is very soothing.
