    If a dermatologist is saying all those negative things about Vaseline - they don’t know the facts.
    It’s called slugging today and it does all the things mentioned: keeps in moisture and thus plumping the skin. It’s widely known and used today also and most night creams contain petrolatum and silicone to do exactly this.
    If you have dry hands, use a hydrating cream and put Vaseline over - this will make a huge difference, like when using on your face.

      Yes, you can actually use Vaseline on your face as long as you aren’t allergic to it. Dermatologist, Andrea Dray, has had videos on this. At night, it’s called, “ Slugging”. It Is also safe on eye lids. So Betty Davis & Marilyn weren’t wrong. ❤

    I use Ivory soap, Vaseline and have been dermaplaning (shaving)for years! I am 53 and stay out of the sun. I don’t have any wrinkles and still get compliments on my skin. I am not a beautiful woman but my skin is beautiful and soft. The dermaplaning helps leave your skin smooth for makeup which I don’t use much unless it’s a special occasion. I do not pluck hairs as it causes large pores. I don’t have any large pores at all. It’s one of few things I like about myself is my skin.

Bette Davis using vaseline on her eyelids was a well known trick in the 1920s she didn't invent it, it was also used over powder to give a younger looking skin and as a highlighter. Eyebrows were also glossed with it. Cologne was used in between shampooing in the hair to mop up grease by using on a cotton ball. Skin was shaved to remove the peach fuzz that would have caught in the powder and not given the skin a good look.

    Petroleum jelly/vaseline is absolutely safe near the eyes and anywhere on the face unless someone has a specific allergy.
    Using Vaseline as a barrier at the end of a routine is called “slugging” - it’s absolutely acceptable especially for dehydrated skin or a damaged skin barrier. The fact that you speak as if we haven’t been using Vaseline to remove mascara in a pinch for over a 100 years makes all of this information suspect.

      @@queenbunnyfoofoo6112 Depends on how refined it is. There are ingredients in it that are problematic. I've done enough research, I would question using it. There are many beauty products that I won't use. For example, Propylene Glycol is an ingredient in many cosmetics, however it is an endocrine disrupter. Nearly 60% of all women in the US have some kind of thyroid condition. That is not natural, it is influenced by what we use, eat, and the environment that we live in.
      If you go online to the The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics they have a long list of ingredients to avoid. Sunscreen is one of the worst culprits. Many of the top companies-including Paula's Choice- have sunscreens to be avoided.
