My Mum used to use only PLAIN water and Vaseline on her face, she had the smoothest skin ever, not a wrinkle and many people thought she was my sister - Rest in peace beautiful Mum of mine 💝
My mother cared for my grandfather for 15 years after he became blind. She put Vaseline on him after every bath. When cocoa butter Vaseline came out she started using that on him. He had the most beautiful skin for a 99 year old man! I use it myself on my lower legs and feet at night.
I use Vaseline in the Winter. I have dry skin and in the Winter it gets really bad. My Dad actually told me to use it and leave it on overnight. It helps more than anything else I’ve tried.

I broke out for years but also have very dry skin. I started using ponds cold cream to wash off my makeup at night because my mom and grandma both use/used it. Then I wash that off with gentle cleanser and warm water and put on pond’s moisturizer and Vaseline on top of that. I am 36 and get mistaken for being younger most of the time. My mom and grandma both have taught me moisturizer is one of the best ways to keep good skin. Also wear spf everyday!
Growing up in the 50 's I was about 7 years old when I was really puzzled when I read on one of my mum's jars of Pond's face cream that it was called " Vanishing Cream " 🤔 ??? She never once vanished after applying it . I loved the scent of Pond's Creams .
I have tried every moisturizer out there but none of them worked for me. After I watched the video for Vaseline on the face, I gave it a try. I was amazed by how it moisturized my face, didn't cause any redness nor discomfort and in the morning my face was great. Now I use it everyday Thanks Dr Dray ❤
I have insanely dry skin from taking a couple different diuretics and what helps the best is hyaluronic acid from the ordinary (it’s like $12), followed by Cerave right away, and then petroleum jelly after Cerave absorbs.
Petroleum jelly isn’t moisturising, despite how it’s advertised misleadingly - but of course they’d exaggerate when they’re trying to sell their own product and make money. It’s a moisture lock/barrier cream - it’s not absorbed into the skin, it just sits on top. It stops moisture and other things from getting IN or OUT of your skin. That’s why hairdressers often use it around the hairline of clients to prevent hair colour from staining the skin and making a mess. And which is why it’s applied to skin AFTER moisturising by dermatologists (slugging) - to seal the moisture into the skin afterwards. If you were to apply it to skin without moisturising beforehand, your skin would feel slimy and trick you into thinking it’s moisturising, but as soon as you wash or wipe it off, your skin will feel dry and tight - because it hasn’t moisturised anything.
My grandmother is 90, and I went to visit her last weekend. She had just woken up and had no makeup on, and her skin was flawless and GLOWING. I remember her always using Vaseline on her face every night after washing it, and bought a big tub of it when I got back home lol.
I use eucerin aquaphor when I'm slugging at night and then wash my face just with water in the morning it helps with tritinoin peeling and dryness amazing 👏
Aquaphor is great, but it’s 5 times the price of regular petroleum jelly. Aquaphor is just petroleum jelly with lanolin. I suffer from eczema, and will go through a jar of either Aquaphor or Vaseline quite fast. Vaseline is just as effective as Aquaphor without the risk of developing an allergic reaction to lanolin, and you’re saving money.
I needed to hear this….it was me!!! Lol, thank you. I kept wondering if I was leaving it in too long…even though when I was a kid my mom never had us rinse it off.
I’m also confused that people apply it.. just to wash it off! That means they are using too much or don’t have a clue how to apply the petroleum jelly!
@ashlynm997 Apply a generous amount but no more than 1/2 pea size for face. Rub your hands fast to apply heat, then part the area you want to apply with the greased hand. If it’s still thick on palms remove excess on other parts of clean body (skin). When apply to face take time and massage with your whole hand, to evenly spread the Vaseline. Keep applying with gentle pressure.
I apply it to my arms to prevent crepe skin. I apply it under my eyes with my night under eye cream, I mix the 2 together and apply right under my eyes. I also apply it every night to my elbows. Wished I would have started using it sooner. I would have used it on my boobs to prevent them from sagging. I am a 36 DDD. It is awesome stuff. If applied into skin diligently every night. Don’t skip a night. I brush my teeth twice a day. I bathe twice a day. I only apply under eyes over night. Wash my face immediately when I awake. I put my face in a bowl of ice water every morning too. It works wonders all these remedies apply all together.
I still remember you releasing a debunk video couple of years ago about petroleum jelly where you said that it's safe to use and I've followed your advice since. My skin is sensitive and can get super dry and with the amount of different moisturizers and brands I've used all these years, Vaseline suits me the best!
I stop using petroleum jelly on my skin because it darkens my skin & it gave me white small bumps. I just use it for cuts. I don't use it on my lips too. It makes my lips purple ish or brownish.
It was refined after the guys on the rigs used it for the cuts they got on their hands. It’s completely safe. My grandmother used it nightly after her bath and when she passed at 85 her legs looked like a teenager’s legs.
Whenever I used to wash off Vaseline from my face; it took like 3 4 different things to wash it off and left my skin way too dry than it was before. Thanks for the tip.
Once in a while I feel the need to Thank you 😊 thanks to you my skin looks much better, I actually saved money and I have discovered the best products for my skin. Of course I also use vaseline and cerave healing ointment is my new favorite. Moreover I like your vibe. You are amazing! ❤
When I used vaseline I get like white pimple ,and is so greasy,like I feel dirty if I dont washing off,I heard that vaseline with lemon is good for black spots
There are many products without the petroleum, if anyone is interested. I use Alba’s Un-petroleum, multi purpose jelly. Fantastic stuff. Cleans and moisturizes. If it works on my ‘old lady’ face, imagine how it will affect your beauty routine if you’re under 70! I began late. You’d have trouble identifying me if I were standing next to Keith Richards. My wrinkles are caverns. I’d need heavy duty spackel to fill in the lines and crevices. With all that goin on, I know I’m still a beautiful woman. So are you!! 🙏🪷❤️

I use vasline when my neck gets really irritating from tretinion, it's been almost two year I use tretinion but my neck still from time to time gets really red and irritating. Vasline, in this case, works like magic.
Derms & plastic surgeons use it for healing, right on top of stitches & areas they freeze. I love to hear Dr. Dray say vaZ-a-leen. Her skin is beautiful.
I've been using Vaseline for years and I'm 52. I always get compliments on my skin. Never had a pimple a day in my life. That dress and color is definitely you. Beautiful ❤😊
@searchindex3438 slugging is when you use vaseline or a product like cerve healing ointment which is vaseline all over your face as a last step in your skincare routine. It's especially great for dry skin or just amazing for winter months too.
Yes. I have them here in my cabinet. It's great for the skin. I use it a lot on my feet. All day beautiful feet and those dry areas. Thank you for this.
My concern about that is the fear of slipping and falling. Once you get that on the bottom of your feet, it is very dangerous we’re talking about petroleum just my opinion I’ve heard so many stories about petroleum jelly and what it’s made of I’m confused I don’t know what to say anymore.
I’m 56 and have used Vaseline to remove my eye makeup since I was 13. I look at least 10 years younger than my age and I have attributed the Vaseline to that in a large way. I have used Johnson’s Lavender Baby Wash as my facial cleanser for 15+ years as well and I think the gentleness of that wash has also helped my skin.
That is my go to must have in my home. I been using Vaseline for over 50 yrs. That’s my daily use. If you get out of the shower/bath while your body still damp rub some on your over your body it makes great moisturizer.
I use so much Vaseline I keep them in business! 😆😍 Love it! My north Philly peeps swore by it & turned me on to it! I’ve also converted friends to use it too & we all can’t live without it. I had no idea of the stigma attached to petroleum jelly. No name petroleum products I feel are not as hydrating. But that’s ok because a little Vaseline on damp skin goes a long way! It’s extremely protective & a great aid to help heal cuts too😊😉🙌
My Doctor put me on Urea cream and it contains Propylparaben and Methylparaben and I know they are 2 substances that aren't congenital to skin care. There is also alcohol in it and it's made my skin in a terrible mess. So I am better to apply what you have suggested to my skin, as I have read your comments and it seems to use Vaseline. I am going to try it.😊 Thank you 😊.
Sorry to disagree, but I used Vaseline for eye makeup remover for years, until one day when I visited the eye doctor due to severe itching of the eyes. He told me the Vaseline was holding pollen next to my skin, which was causing the irritation and recommended I use baby shampoo to remove eye makeup. Since that day I’ve followed his advice and have almost no issues with itchy eyes. I do use eye cream to moisturize once I wash my eyelids.
I use the Cerave baby healing ointment every night on my skin as my last step, my skin is sooooo soft! Thank you for all of your wisdom Dr. Dray, you’re the reason I have amazing skin💕.
You can put a bit of Vaseline in your palm and mix it with argon oil because argon oil is expensive. I use that mixture to stretch out my argon oil and apply it to freshly washed face and neck and forearms.
I have a serious question and thank you for bringing this up. Is it safe to be putting petroleum in any form on our skin? Thank you in advance for your answer and I wish you well. 🙏🏼🌝💜
I’m still confused as to how this was recommended to me. I’ve been using Vaseline all my life. Which I truly believe has made my skin youthful. A few months back, when buying my groceries, including alcohol! The man on tills asked for ID and was shocked to see I was born in ‘93 Went call his colleague to double check 😂😂 they literally thought I was 16/17 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is why us blacks can be in our 50's and still look 30 and even older with marvelous skin . Vaseline has ALWAYS been the go too because our great grandmother's couldn't afford drug store creams and if they could they wouldn't because they were fine using Vaseline. We have truly been BEAUTIFULLY BLESSED with good skin ❣ 💯
Please someone clarify whether Vaseline makes skin darker. I am an Indian and already have a brown skin. Here there is a perception that the petroleum jelly/mineral oil turns the skin dark and I am afraid to use it.
I've used Vaseline all over my body, hair, face, skin, it's an excellent moisturizer!! I've been told I look younger than my age!! Vaseline with cocoa butter is the best!! Keep on sluggin'!!!! 😁
Use Un-petroleum jelly made by Alba Botanics. It has the exact same consistency but its made from castor oil and doesnt contrain any petroleum by-products. Castor oil has anti-inflammatory properties and is so much better for your skin.
Petroleum Jelly is great to use. We have been using it for many, many years. However, some folk are known for not bathing properly. It is totally necessary to wash after use. lf you've had it on your face all day, then wash your face and reapply it if you want to, but moving forward, wash.
Wash face first. Then use Vaseline to seal in moisture. I do this in the winter when the air inside dries out my skin. When I wake up the next day, my skin feels so much better!
what about when you need to re-do your skincare? normally i don’t use a cleanser in the morning but when i have those nights that i do slugging, i feel the need to wash it off with a cleanser because i think that my products would not penetrate as well however im unsure if that is correct.
Pretty Pretty dress!! I like the whole look with the updo btw. I've been meaning to ask... Do you have any video of your ballet performances? I'd really enjoy seeing a snippet. You've helped me so much with my skincare. Blessings! 🪻
I used Vaseline on my hair in the 80s for the wet curly hair look (it didn't really look wet though) and it made my hair look a lot better, moisturized. My hair was long, naturally curly, but frizzy. After a few months of using Vaseline, I got a layered cut and when I blow dried it, it looked so healthy and gorgeous. I had to shampoo it twice every time I washed it.
Grease an oil attracts dirt, bacteria piggybacks on dirt ..the same dirt that gets stuck to oil or Vaseline..try not to think of it as you are washing off the Vaseline but more so you are washing away bacteria from the environment. Then afterwards you reapply the Vaseline. Stay clean
We grew up using Vaseline all over our bodies, great for maintaining skin integrity for brown and black skin. So we don’t diss it at all.

I needed to hear this….it was me!!! Lol, thank you. I kept wondering if I was leaving it in too long…even though when I was a kid my mom never had us rinse it off.
Trust your mom. We black. All our moms had the big jar of Vaseline and told us to get them ashy knees and elbows 😂
I’m also confused that people apply it.. just to wash it off!
That means they are using too much or don’t have a clue how to apply the petroleum jelly!
@@missqt48.....slagging looks pretty thick when put on....how should the jelly get removed?
@ashlynm997
Apply a generous amount but no more than 1/2 pea size for face. Rub your hands fast to apply heat, then part the area you want to apply with the greased hand. If it’s still thick on palms remove excess on other parts of clean body (skin).
When apply to face take time and massage with your whole hand, to evenly spread the Vaseline. Keep applying with gentle pressure.
The very best natural organic moisturizer for shining beautiful skin used by Indian women is COW'S PURE GHEE. ❤
Or best butter ghee ;)
I apply it to my arms to prevent crepe skin. I apply it under my eyes with my night under eye cream, I mix the 2 together and apply right under my eyes. I also apply it every night to my elbows. Wished I would have started using it sooner. I would have used it on my boobs to prevent them from sagging. I am a 36 DDD. It is awesome stuff. If applied into skin diligently every night. Don’t skip a night. I brush my teeth twice a day. I bathe twice a day. I only apply under eyes over night. Wash my face immediately when I awake. I put my face in a bowl of ice water every morning too. It works wonders all these remedies apply all together.

What eyecream do you use?
I still remember you releasing a debunk video couple of years ago about petroleum jelly where you said that it's safe to use and I've followed your advice since. My skin is sensitive and can get super dry and with the amount of different moisturizers and brands I've used all these years, Vaseline suits me the best!
I stop using petroleum jelly on my skin because it darkens my skin & it gave me white small bumps. I just use it for cuts. I don't use it on my lips too. It makes my lips purple ish or brownish.
Oh wow, I wonder why that happens…
Were you using pure patroleum jelly or patroleum with shea butter?
Are you not afraid it turns the cut brown
@@sowhat7983that’s what exactly I found about and I wonder whether Dr. Dray or skin care influencers know these facts 😯
It was refined after the guys on the rigs used it for the cuts they got on their hands. It’s completely safe. My grandmother used it nightly after her bath and when she passed at 85 her legs looked like a teenager’s legs.
Whenever I used to wash off Vaseline from my face; it took like 3 4 different things to wash it off and left my skin way too dry than it was before. Thanks for the tip.
Why did you do that? It must have irritated your skin.
just use an oil cleanser
@@anonym-ex1utyou don’t need to wash it off. That’s the whole point of this video
You are meant to use it after moisturiser to seal it in. Not on its own
Once in a while I feel the need to Thank you 😊 thanks to you my skin looks much better, I actually saved money and I have discovered the best products for my skin. Of course I also use vaseline and cerave healing ointment is my new favorite. Moreover I like your vibe. You are amazing! ❤
When I used vaseline I get like white pimple ,and is so greasy,like I feel dirty if I dont washing off,I heard that vaseline with lemon is good for black spots
Yessss 🎉agreed!
FYI that dress & color on you looks lovely 🥰 it’s definitely a beautiful choice for you
There are many products without the petroleum, if anyone is interested. I use Alba’s Un-petroleum, multi purpose jelly. Fantastic stuff. Cleans and moisturizes. If it works on my ‘old lady’ face, imagine how it will affect your beauty routine if you’re under 70! I began late. You’d have trouble identifying me if I were standing next to Keith Richards. My wrinkles are caverns. I’d need heavy duty spackel to fill in the lines and crevices. With all that goin on, I know I’m still a beautiful woman. So are you!! 🙏🪷❤️
Hell yeah ❤
You are kind. 😊 Thanks for the giggle. (Keith Richards... hahaha) Many won't get the reference. 😂 I began late as well and
love my results.
@@palindromecornell707 I forgot, for the Keith Richards reference, he leans to the left, me to the right. That’s how you tell us apart. 😃. Now, go Win At Life!

@@kathygrosvenor4464 🙏 Blessings. ❤️
Just a tip, using on and around the nose on the regular will enlarge those pores, try not to use too much in this area
Me looking at your comment while frantically wiping it off my nose😂
I use vasline when my neck gets really irritating from tretinion, it's been almost two year I use tretinion but my neck still from time to time gets really red and irritating. Vasline, in this case, works like magic.
Me too. Helps a lot and reduces wrinkles and sagging on the neck.
@@caseylee1866
When do use it? i mean do u use it during the day?
Perktheni,se lat nam
Ich habe kein Wort verstanden
If you apply it at night, is it okay if you wash it off with just water and no cleanser in the morning?
Off topic here, orange is my favorite color and you are rocking it!
This stuff is amazing for chapped lips and sore nose..I should try slugging.
What is slugging?
some of the best things for your skin also happen to be the cheapest i.e. Vaseline, vegetable glycerine, Sudocrem etc.
Healing Ointment is my “Vaseline”. It’s so underrated! Love it so much. ❤
I read "Valentine" I guess I saw the ❤️ first. 😂 I have been applying Vaselines on my lips before I go to bed since forever 😊
I like the coco butter vaseline and it only takes a tiny bit for the face.
@@sheliabell4471 I haven’t tried that one yet, but will do! Thanks🩷
So, is Healing Ointment contain petroleum products??? Read that anything containing petroleum products can lead to cancer!😮😮
Ive been using it all my life after showering all over body. It has served me well.
As a cosmetologist for over 40 years I’ve used Vaseline for many different purposes great for a barrier between chemicals and skin 👍🏼
I have psoriasis, and I use Vaseline on my whole body..... including my face. It works, it's simple and cost effective.
I also have psoriasis. Should i apply vaselin after a body lotion??
Dr Dray I feel “Emily in Paris” vibes in this video 😁
Derms & plastic surgeons use it for healing, right on top of stitches & areas they freeze. I love to hear Dr. Dray say vaZ-a-leen. Her skin is beautiful.
Love Vaseline. Lately, I've used it to soften my hangnails and bad cuticles.
Love that colour on you!
You look so good in that color❤
I just put some on my face & your video popped up...😂
I've been using Vaseline for years and I'm 52. I always get compliments on my skin. Never had a pimple a day in my life. That dress and color is definitely you. Beautiful ❤😊
People wash it off? I mean i wash my face the next morning but not right afterwards..i use it for slugging. I use the cerve one though.
What is ‘slugging’?
@searchindex3438 slugging is when you use vaseline or a product like cerve healing ointment which is vaseline all over your face as a last step in your skincare routine. It's especially great for dry skin or just amazing for winter months too.
@@bereaux94in MI
B4 bad time i use night cream
Cant i slugging after that tq
Yes. I have them here in my cabinet. It's great for the skin. I use it a lot on my feet. All day beautiful feet and those dry areas. Thank you for this.
My concern about that is the fear of slipping and falling. Once you get that on the bottom of your feet, it is very dangerous we’re talking about petroleum just my opinion I’ve heard so many stories about petroleum jelly and what it’s made of I’m confused I don’t know what to say anymore.
@@God_Gift89
Put some socks on your feet overnight after applying petroleum jelly on them. 👍
I’ve been using Vaseline on my face since I was a kid and today at 60 I don’t have one line or wrinkle on my face and I’m taking for my 40s
I’m 56 and have used Vaseline to remove my eye makeup since I was 13. I look at least 10 years younger than my age and I have attributed the Vaseline to that in a large way. I have used Johnson’s Lavender Baby Wash as my facial cleanser for 15+ years as well and I think the gentleness of that wash has also helped my skin.
That is my go to must have in my home. I been using Vaseline for over 50 yrs. That’s my daily use. If you get out of the shower/bath while your body still damp rub some on your over your body it makes great moisturizer.
I ❤ Vaseline. FYI, I notice many thick lotions that cost more then Vaseline..have are us petroleum lol.
I use so much Vaseline I keep them in business! 😆😍 Love it! My north Philly peeps swore by it & turned me on to it! I’ve also converted friends to use it too & we all can’t live without it. I had no idea of the stigma attached to petroleum jelly. No name petroleum products I feel are not as hydrating. But that’s ok because a little Vaseline on damp skin goes a long way! It’s extremely protective & a great aid to help heal cuts too😊😉🙌
Tell me you never grew up with a grandma without telling me you never grew up with a grandma.
Other people: washes vasaline off the skin.
This reminds me of when i heard about people washing off their serum before continuing with their skincare. Who does that???
I’ve been struggling with red/irritated skin on my face and petroleum jelly seems to be the only thing that doesn’t make it worse
Is it good to use on combination skin type?
Thank you I really feel so much better just hearing this today again we'll have it on tonight
Happy Thursday Dr Dray excited to be here. Thanks for giving this tip have a good night.
My Doctor put me on Urea cream and it contains Propylparaben and Methylparaben and I know they are 2 substances that aren't congenital to skin care. There is also alcohol in it and it's made my skin in a terrible mess. So I am better to apply what you have suggested to my skin, as I have read your comments and it seems to use Vaseline. I am going to try it.😊 Thank you 😊.
Sorry to disagree, but I used Vaseline for eye makeup remover for years, until one day when I visited the eye doctor due to severe itching of the eyes. He told me the Vaseline was holding pollen next to my skin, which was causing the irritation and recommended I use baby shampoo to remove eye makeup. Since that day I’ve followed his advice and have almost no issues with itchy eyes. I do use eye cream to moisturize once I wash my eyelids.
I use the Cerave baby healing ointment every night on my skin as my last step, my skin is sooooo soft! Thank you for all of your wisdom Dr. Dray, you’re the reason I have amazing skin💕.
Have you tried the Cerave Hydrating Face Cleanser? It is sooo good.
Vaseline will keep your skin tight..no sagging over here.
Ah bon pas pour moi?????????😮😮😮😮
Tight ? Moisturized yes. But tight?🤔
@@foejdkgk1826ça garde la peau hydratée , oui. Mais pas serrée ( tight) 🤔
Dr. Dray says Vaseline like somebody old southern auntie. 😂
It sounds like you're saying petroleum jelly, a gay vaseline
But you're saying petroleum jelly, aka vaseline
I was like wtf lol
You look beautiful Doc.
What a fabulous dress! That color looks stunning on you!!!
Came hear to say the same!
You can put a bit of Vaseline in your palm and mix it with argon oil because argon oil is expensive. I use that mixture to stretch out my argon oil and apply it to freshly washed face and neck and forearms.
Finally, a beauty product that i can afford!! 😂
I have a serious question and thank you for bringing this up. Is it safe to be putting petroleum in any form on our skin? Thank you in advance for your answer and I wish you well. 🙏🏼🌝💜
The African woman's secret 🤞🏾Best believe
Right. We’ve been using it for decades and nobody has been harmed lol.
I’m still confused as to how this was recommended to me. I’ve been using Vaseline all my life.
Which I truly believe has made my skin youthful. A few months back, when buying my groceries, including alcohol! The man on tills asked for ID and was shocked to see I was born in ‘93
Went call his colleague to double check 😂😂 they literally thought I was 16/17 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thankyou my beautiful African sisters
Us whities have too. Never been a secret.
This is why us blacks can be in our 50's and still look 30 and even older with marvelous skin . Vaseline has ALWAYS been the go too because our great grandmother's couldn't afford drug store creams and if they could they wouldn't because they were fine using Vaseline. We have truly been BEAUTIFULLY BLESSED with good skin ❣ 💯
Every night before bed, I basically wallow around in a pit of Vaseline, like a little piglet in mud.
I absolutely LOVE the stuff!😂❤
😂😂😂
Dr. Dray looking beautiful! I’m getting an Audrey Hepburn vibe!
I needed to hear this! Thank you!
I prefer Aquaphor. I use it all over my body right before bed. It's amazing for aiding in anti-aging. ❤
It's petroleum jelly, how puts that on you skin ...it's so toxic...it's petroleum da
Either she knows abt it or pretending she doesn't.
I use castor oil, it’s the bomb! And it’s not carcinogenic like vaseline
Vaseline isn't carcinogenic. I doubt you have any basic understanding of the term.
@@littleblackpistol no need to be rude
She has correct understanding! Castor oil works!
It’s probably not even truly tested for carcinogenic or mutagenic properties 😢…..kind of like vaccines. Research ingredients folks!
Do you put it on your face or body? Isn’t it thick and won’t it stick to your clothes ?
Please someone clarify whether Vaseline makes skin darker.
I am an Indian and already have a brown skin. Here there is a perception that the petroleum jelly/mineral oil turns the skin dark and I am afraid to use it.
it cannot and does not make skin darker.
@@SueRosalie thank you
It's more like a barrier .so shouldn't darken Ur skin
The docterly dermatologists said u can use it after Ur moisturiser yoo
@@fazeelalaher6250 thank you
can we use salicylic acid and niacinamide on the same day
I've used Vaseline all over my body, hair, face, skin, it's an excellent moisturizer!! I've been told I look younger than my age!! Vaseline with cocoa butter is the best!! Keep on sluggin'!!!! 😁
😉👍
Use Un-petroleum jelly made by Alba Botanics. It has the exact same consistency but its made from castor oil and doesnt contrain any petroleum by-products. Castor oil has anti-inflammatory properties and is so much better for your skin.
You realize that you are saying this bullshit stuff under a dermatologist's video ?
That'll have my beard and mustache growing in waaay too fast, haha!
All she promotes are chemical laden products
Just ordered this. Tyvm
Vaseline helps my eczema wonderfully
How do you use it, can you explain please
@@divine2310 Just rub on some on any dry spots
Petroleum Jelly is great to use. We have been using it for many, many years. However, some folk are known for not bathing properly. It is totally necessary to wash after use. lf you've had it on your face all day, then wash your face and reapply it if you want to, but moving forward, wash.
FINALLY.....SOMEONE WITH COMMON SENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MAN, some people are stupid.
😂😂
I use it for my lips when I sleep. I wash it off in the morning because I don't want to ingest it 😅
It’s ok it won’t hurt you I accidentally ingest it regularly lol
@@saysHotdogs Oh dear lol. 😂
I prefer something else for breakfast instead of Vaseline pancakes!
So if I put it on my face, should I not wash my face if it’s too oily? Or just do a light face washing?
If you feel like it’s too oily don’t use it unless you have irritation and need barrier repair
Wash face first. Then use Vaseline to seal in moisture. I do this in the winter when the air inside dries out my skin. When I wake up the next day, my skin feels so much better!
don't the bed sheets get all oily?
what about when you need to re-do your skincare? normally i don’t use a cleanser in the morning but when i have those nights that i do slugging, i feel the need to wash it off with a cleanser because i think that my products would not penetrate as well however im unsure if that is correct.
keeping the vaseline on is doing your skin more benefit than those cosmetic products.
Love this dress!
Pretty Pretty dress!! I like the whole look with the updo btw. I've been meaning to ask... Do you have any video of your ballet performances? I'd really enjoy seeing a snippet. You've helped me so much with my skincare. Blessings! 🪻
I love how logical u are
I used Vaseline on my hair in the 80s for the wet curly hair look (it didn't really look wet though) and it made my hair look a lot better, moisturized. My hair was long, naturally curly, but frizzy. After a few months of using Vaseline, I got a layered cut and when I blow dried it, it looked so healthy and gorgeous. I had to shampoo it twice every time I washed it.
Looking Fabulous here! Love the dress.
Grease an oil attracts dirt, bacteria piggybacks on dirt ..the same dirt that gets stuck to oil or Vaseline..try not to think of it as you are washing off the Vaseline but more so you are washing away bacteria from the environment. Then afterwards you reapply the Vaseline. Stay clean
Where does it end then 😅
Slugging makes my skin glowy and dewy. When I wake up in the morning it’s all absorbed and I have a nice glow all day.
I use Vaseline/ Petroleum jelly everyday!! I’m black and this has worked wonders for my skin staying baby soft and moisturized 👍🏽
It's very good for your skin feet elbows lips keep using it.
It's best to have slightly damp skin before you apply any moisturizer, the moisture will be locked in.
