Vaseline -anti aging?

My cousin who is 16 and her mom use vaseline on their faces every night. They have been doing this for years and they both have great skin. Now my question is .. if you're a teen or even older and you smother your face in vaseline every night ..wouldn't you break out in zits? Also her mom ( my aunt) is 40 something and doesnt have a single wrinkle , at first I thought she was just lucky but her sisters who are younger have wrinkles . Are my cousin and aunt just lucky? or is Vaseline a solution for all skin problems?

Re: Vaseline -anti aging?

Maybe they aren't acne-prone? Personally, i wouldn't smother it on my face considering i'm extremely acne-prone, let alone the thick and gooey uncomfortable texture. But who knows, maybe petroleum jelly is the new age-reversal solution!

Re: Vaseline -anti aging?

Personally, I would not cover my face in Vaseline.

Maybe they have stayed out of the sun or used sun protection for the majority of their life!

Re: Vaseline -anti aging?

Hmm, I wouldn't have thought it but maybe there is something to it then. I would be afraid it would break me out, though.

Re: Vaseline -anti aging?

I've put a dab here and there for some moisture, but not all over! I'm acne prone. You could try and see, just be cautious..it seems like to me it would be pore clogging. It is an excellent moisturizer though.

Re: Vaseline -anti aging?

Re: Vaseline -anti aging?

Tyra Banks uses vasliene every night thats her big secret she had it on her show. Look that up maybe she explains the reson. Just try it a little dab over face where you would break out and see if you do or not. Test it out for a while.

Re: Vaseline -anti aging?

I've heard of Vaseline on other body parts, but never the face. It's not something I would do personally.

Re: Vaseline -anti aging?

I would go as far as using vaseline on my lips, but that's about it.

Re: Vaseline -anti aging?

as of right now i have vaseline on my nose. my nose is red, flaky, and sensitive since ive been blowing my nose for the past few days. i thought it would be all goopy and uncomfy but its sooo soothing and my nose doesnt hurt anymore from the red & raw feeling. best part is that it doesnt feel like its there! but putting this on my entire face? yikes...but my skin is getting drier so id like to give it a try. im worried ill break out since itll xfer to the pillows and whatnot.

Re: Vaseline -anti aging?

My grandmother used to swear by this and the Dove white beauty bar. She had beautiful skin. I've been combo/oily since my teens and wouldn't dare try it.
