  • Can Vaseline be used to treat Acne? Is this another TikTok skincare trend we should be paying attention to?
    The latest trend on Tiktok also known as 'slugging', involves slathering your face with Vaseline, also known as petroleum jelly, right before bed with the goal of waking up to radiant, soft, glowy skin. But does it really help improve acne? or could it end up clogging the pores even more than it did before? In this video, Dr. Chiam reacts to the slugging trend that has been taking TikTok by storm.

      Your skin becoming soft in no way represents it being healthy lmao. What you're feeling is the many layers of Vaseline on your skin...it's non water soluble. What you are doing when putting Vaseline on your face is essentially smooshing chapstick all over you, or covering your face with plastic wrap. It's trapping your skin and preventing moisture from leaving, as well as anything else trapped there. Your skin is likely begging for an actual moisturizer as I'm sure all those layers have clogged up your skin long enough for it to start cracking up once you go too long without reapplying. Please for the love of your own health use a product meant for acne not a product meant for layer protection.

    Chemistry speaking there’s a huge difference between oil based and wax based product. Technically Vaseline is a WAX based product and many got the wrong idea that petroleum jelly is comedogenic.
    It works by trapping EVERYTHING underneath the skin including dirt and moisture. So naturally if you have a poor cleansing habit or less thorough cleansing in the shower, it traps the dirt or whatever residue that’s making your skin prone to acne.

    • @tortellinifettuccine
      @tortellinifettuccine 4 місяці тому

      "It's not always used the right way" yeah by people like you. It is not for skincare, stop using it as such. It's not a moisturizer, it's not for anything regarding skin health. Think of it as jellified chapstick. It exists to place a protective non-soluble layer on things, whether that be skin or whatever else. All you're doing is giving yourself the illusion of moisture and healthy skin because all it's doing is trapping all that moisture under your skin and preventing anything from entering or leaving. So yes the skin may apear bright and soft, but that dosent mean it's healthy. Skin also appears bright and soft when you rub butter on it...the fat/oils helps. It exists to be used like chapstick for example, or as multiple layers on the hands for a chef for example for heat protection.

I don’t use it every day either, I use it a few times a week at night to keep the moisture in while I sleep which helps repair the skin barrier and has helped a lot with repairing my dry skin and acne scars. It also helps keep dirt and stuff out while you’re tossing and turning in your sleep then you wash it off in the morning. I’m not saying it makes my skin look moist it literally helped my skin heal. Not sure if your a dermatologist idk where you got your info but my dermatologist recommend it as well so idk what your on.

      @Louis-bl8di 10 місяців тому +2

      Emollients are oils that lubricate the edges of the skin cells and make them smooth. Then we have occlusives that are waxy that forms a barrier to prevent water loss from the skin, like petrolatum, and also we have humectants that attract water, like glycerin. Petroleum jelly is an occlusive. Moisturisers are a combinations of those things, usually occlusives + humectants or all of them.

      I'm oily too but I only use around the eyes(there's less pores around the eyes)..anywhere else will lead to clogged pores and acne- it will be too much oil on skin and the vaseline will trap all the oil in the pores and when it dries it comes white/blackheads- very unpleasant. it is only good for dry areas

      Don't use that I'll suggest you to use products like benzoyl peroxide and salacylic acid 👍🏼🗿
