A friend of mine recently sent me an article on the most effective solution to dry skin.
And it was surprising to learn that Vaseline does more than prevent nappy rash.
It is actually the best kept skin care secret out there.
It is actually the best kept skin care secret out there.
According to the Harvard Health Publication on "Skin Care and Repair", dry skin is caused by loss of moisture in the skin due to aging and sun damage.
With time, the skin's ability to produce natural oils slows down, and skin begins to lose its suppleness and elasticity.

After reading this article and the article on "Vaseline for Skin Care" at Livestrong.com, I became particularly curious about the numerous uses of Vaseline and found 4 skin care uses:
Vaseline used as a Facial Moisturizer
Very cheap and effective, Vaseline attracts water and traps it in the skin, which prevents loss of moisture, smooths wrinkles and keeps skin looking supple. It is most effective when applied after a lukewarm shower at night, to seal the moisture to the skin.
Vaseline used as Eye Makeup Remover
Very effective at taking off eye makeup while leaving skin soft and smooth.
Vaseline used as a Body Moisturizer
Apply Vaseline before going to bed generously on your hands and feet, and cover them with latex gloves and socks respectively. You will definitely notice an improvement in your skin's elasticity.
Vaseline used to remove Faux Lashes
It removes faux lashes gently while helping to hydrate natural lashes.
Interesting right?
Do you know of any other cosmetic uses of Vaseline? Please share.....
Remain delicious in pink,

ReplyDeleteA small amount could be used as an eyebrow tamer to keep ur arches in place
ReplyDeleteNice ideas...on my way to the drugstore..
good ol' Vaseline......some people use it to reduce skin friction.
ReplyDeleteI have dry scaly skin. Vaseline works best when applied to damp skin. After a shower, don't dry off using a towel and apply Vaseline to damp skin. It helps your skin absorb and seal in the moisture from your shower.
ReplyDeleteSo interesting...couldn't agree enough. I honestly carry at least 5 tubes of lipglosses, but never forget my Vaseline jar...yes, a jar. Plus, I'm using it to remove my makeup too when I'm out of my Lancome Bifacil
ReplyDeleteI was just telling my friend about my love affair with Vaseline tonight.:) I Love Vaseline! I put a little under my eyes post shower or face wash! Awesome eye cream, only caveat- under eye must be damp.
