I've used the Vaseline many times, but ONLY a VERY thin layer over my moisturizer to make a sort of barrier over it. It worked very well. But, I have now found something that I think is MUCH better for my skin, makes it baby smooth and won't clog anyone's pore.

It's "Jason Natural Cosmetics Pure Beauty Oil, 5,000 IU Vitamin E Oil" It's only $6.99 at drugstore.com Online Pharmacy - Prescription Drugs, Health and Beauty, plus more and has a very pleasat light fragrance. I will be using this for a long time now.......but NOT to replace my moisturizer......just to enhance it. I LOVE the way my face looks and feels.

Oh, by the way, "Aura Cacia Natural Skin Care Oil, Grapeseed" is also another wonderful product for your skin and all over your body. I love that too. It's only $4.49 for 4 oz. I put a link below to show were it is......the Vitamine C Oil....and I hope that works. I've not put a link in that space before.

I think it's right ..

Vaseline does miracles and I saw that on many women..

As mentioned before Tyra use it and even Cybill Shepherd, they asked her once about the secret behind her smooth skin, she said it was Vaseline.. She puts it all over her face before going to bed..

And you know what, my mum use it too on all over her face during her day and she always tell me to do it too but I make fun of her that NO WAY I’ll do that but really my mum’s face is smooth and with no wrinkles ..

I’ll try to use it during the day and see the results

Oh man, I just finished reading this thread - it took me all of yesterday up until now! Well, I got curious about halfway through and tried it last night, and I did wake up to that glowing skin everyone's been describing. I have combo/pimple prone skin, but it didn't seem to make me break out. I did wake up with one of those "under the skin" pimples on my chin today, but I think I would have anyway, since it's that time of the month. Well anyway, I woke up, used Cetaphil mixed with Clean & Clear Deep Action Cream Cleanser for sensitive skin, rinsed, used a damp towel to lightly scrub my skin, rinsed with cold water, then while skin was still damp applied my regular Oil of Olay Active Hydrating Beauty Fluid. I then used a small amount of Vaseline, mixed with a bit of water, applied it in a thin layer over my face, then blotted a bit with a tissue to remove any excess. That pimple already looks smaller, and my t-zone isn't it's normal greasy self. It's sort of...satiny. Evenly dewy but not greasy looking, that's the only way I can describe that "glow" look I got. Hopefully this will keep working!

And to think, I used to think that Vaseline was only good for lubing up things when making sculpture molds!

lol !

i can't imagine using vaseline all over my face!

As a woman of color, I've heard some women swear by Vaseline, but never really used it myself other than for chapped lips or dry areas of skin in the winter time. I'm not even halfway through this thread, but hearing about the great results many of you have had with it prompted me to try it tonight.

I made sure to use a thin layer and I put it on while my face was still wet after washing it. I do like the "dewy" look it gives me, and it really doesn't feel that heavy on my face. I think I will just use Vaseline before bed. Hopefully I'll also have good results.

I wouldn't put vaseline anywhere near any of me - its a petrol oil product... yikes! To each their own though!

[bulbul]

I had use vasline alot, it is great

Do you wash your face with Dove BEFORE you put vaseline on your face? Or do you wash vaseline away with Dove? Or both? *confused*
I had never heard about vaseline doing miracles on face, I used to use it a lot on my lips when a teenager but nothing more. I have applied it on my face 2 nights now and wow, skin looks so smooth and healty! And I have such a dry skin

Edit: I stopped using vaseline after a few days. I need moisturizing and vaseline didn't do it, my skin started to feel kind of strange so I went back to my Lancome.

my husband and all his family have used vaseline on their faces all their lifetime and all of them have beautiful skin.....and no wrinkles at all....so i use it also when i remember to..after reading this thread i think i will try to remember putting it on more often...from all the times ive used it, i must say i always woke up with nice soft skin

[suzizack]

Vaseline can lock moisture in, form a barrier. I do use it on my feet after I put shea butter on my feet and hands at night. Then put loose socks/.gloves on for a few hours at least if not overnight.
Makes my feet stay softer, less trouble with callouses. But vaseline on my face makes more plugged pores, etc..
It all depends on your skin tho. My MIL used crisco for years on her face and neck. She had smooth skin,but lots of wrinkles .

Vaseline works great, my mom also uses it.

If vaseline works great what about a thin layer of Olive Oil? Wouldn't that achieve the same moisturizing and protective purpose while adding positive benefits? Just wondering if anyone has tried this,

The reason the Vaseline works better is because...the way I use it...when you put your moisturizer on FIRST and then put on a VERY thin layer of Vaseline, it works as sort of a 'shield' or 'barrier' to keep that moisturizer on your skin. That way it doesn't evaporate, rub off on your pillowcase or anything else. Like others have posted, it also does the same for your hands and feet. Put your moisturizer or FIRST, then smooth a VERY thin layer of Vaseline and it will keep that moisturizer close to your skin so it can do its job...does any of that makes sense? I don't think olive oil would work the same way because it's more of a moisturizer itself and wouldn't work as a barrier to keep in your moisturizer like the Vaseline does. I hope I said it right.

Vaseline can be used as a cheap moisturiser only by people with really dry skin. Otherwise, you would find that it can block pores causing break outs.

If anti aging is what you are after, then vaseline is not it.

I heard about Vasaline being good for skin too. One tip I read was to apply a thin layer of Vasaline on the face and leave it on for the night or for 20 mins as a mask. Anyway, I tried the later. I think I developed white bumps all over my face in the end, so nope, it didn't work for my skin. Works great on my very dry lips though, I've been using them for years and have gone though many minia
