Just an anecdote, but when I was 12 I noticed that my mom and her sisters had lots of wrinkles around their eyes so I started putting vaseline around my eyes as a moisturizer. Did that for many years and never developed crow's feet. (Will be 80 next month.)
I haven’t used soap on my skin for thirty years. I wake up, wash with water, dry my face, spray it with organic rose water, then put a good amount of organic cold pressed oil. Now that I’m living on the Mediterranean I use olive. The dermatologist last year here, asked me if I’m lying about my age and so did the cardiologist. I also use baking soda in the shower to exfoliate my face and neck twice a week.

I had hormone positive breast cancer 21 years ago. I was advised by my oncologist not to use petrochemical products such as vaseline because they contain xenoestrogens and are endocrine disrupters. Since the skin is a living organ I would rather not use anything that might make me have a recurrence. I find castor oil can replace vaseline pretty much for any use.
thank you for this comment I didnt like the idea of putting a petrochemical on my skin esp if you have to remove your actives it seems like not the best idea, I will def be trying the castor oil instead!!
Sim!👏👏👏 Eu faço minha rotina noturna e em volta dos olhos selo com óleo de rícino! Melhor que 3:29 3:31 vaselina! Natural e tem prioridades benéficas! Abraços do Brasil!
I use castor oil on my face and neck at bedtime. I put a bath towel over my pillow. Castor oil has many benefits and anti aging is a benefit to the skin. Reduces scars too.
I started this a decade ago. A met an elderly gay man at a wedding. I knew he had to be in his late 70’s or early 80’s because he was the older brother I my mom’s best friend. I remarked that his skin was amazing, and I asked him what he used. He said “don’t tell anybody but I’ve been using Vaseline all over my face for many years.”. Holy moly, I’ve been doing it ever since. It ABSOLUTELY works. I use a small sponge to apply a thin layer of aquaphar gently all over. It does not cause acne. I’ve had acne and stopped using all those medications. I wash my face with a small amount of rice powder. It’s SO smooth.
One of Marilyn Monroe's beauty secrets was using a layer of vaseline under her makeup. It was supposedly responsible for her glow in photos. My mother had me use vaseline on my hands and skin growing up. She is 96 and has minimal wrinkles for her age. Thank you!
@@Lise7-7-7 I wish I had known her. She was a very special, and misunderstood lady. I have heard interviews with her makeup artist/friend who traveled with her everywhere. The layer of vaseline under her makeup reflected light which gave her a glow in her pictures from what he said.
I am 63 and after using the most expensive creams and treatments with little to no results I decided to use less expensive drugstore products. Well...they didnt do much. Now my biggest problem has been my hands..So two nights ago I decided to try Vaseline. Today my hands look thirty years younger. Ladies please try this especially at night...in fact do it head to toe and I promise you you will look like a new woman❤
When I was in my 40's I put Vaseline on my face often at night, I swear when I woke up my face looked incredible. At 62 do it ever now and then. Friends says my face looks very smooth
I am chuckling. Grew up just outside Boston with mom and grandparents from Maine. Harsh Winters. After all our other apparel went on Vasaline was always the last thing that mom or gran smoothed all over our face. This protected us from wind burn, and the cold. It worked and I did it to my kids. We swore by "Vicks" and "Noxema" as well and were big milk drinkers. Perfect skin. At 64, sleep, fasting, facial oils, almost no cosmetics, k2 and my own homemade stock broths and still pretty amazing skin. Liver and onions and Cod Liver oil too. Sometimes simple and old fashioned, just works. " Put out enough of a glow and you'll blind others to your wrinkles" and "pretty begins on the inside", two family mottos to live by.
My Grandmother is 96 years young and has never used anything besides Vaseline and she still has beautiful skin. Vaseline is the only moisturizer I use.
Ir works, but:. I supose she is black, so her skin is firmer than native and caucasian. And almost 1 hundred years ago life was lets say, cleaner. The environment was cleaner. Less free radicals out there. And last, todays life is way more stressing than 20 years ago. And thats key. I have seen it in me, ive been stressed the last two years, and my skin looks older than my real age. And before that, i looked 5 years younger than my real age. I'm 35 now. Genetics and stress i think is the key.
I’m a radiation therapist and we loved recommending Aquaphor for our patients. It’s great for skin burns, chapped hands and lips and more. Side note, I love using Vaseline or Aquaphor for my heels at night so I wake up with soft skin.
My great grandmother used petroleum jelly on her face for most of her adult life. She died at 90. Her skin was still gorgeous, she looked decades younger.
When I was 18 I accidentally ran through a sliding glass door and wound up in ER. (My knee broke the glass.) The ER doc recommended vaseline for the nicks and cuts on my face, saying that I wouldn’t scar, and I didn’t.
I use vaseline on my entire body...ever since i saw a dermatologist and worked on many top brands like Lancome, Elizabeth Arden, Clinique who said the best moisturizer and kept you young was vaseline...people often comment how young i look for 50...
@@catgirl444 not at all....I use a huge glob..rub all over then top off with a bit of body cream to take away the greasiness...works like a bomb...my partner says I have the skin of a 30yr old...try it! You can also use a view drops of water over the vaseline...rub in till it no longer feels greasy and like a thick cream...
@@jennymora808 huge glob, rub all over and in as much as you can, top off with a bit of body cream or little water, run in..this turns it into thick cream and gets rid of greasiness
I started using coconut oil on my face b/c none of the lotions I had been using would calm the itching from my dry skin (due to low winter humidity). It is amazing! I have that "glass skin" now.
I’ve been using aquaphor on my skin for 15-20 years for no reason other than it made sense to me. I find it funny to hear that it’s a thing called “slugging” now. I’m in my late 40s, and my skin is pretty great.
I’m 70 and I only use good soap like goat soap or Dr. Bonnets and I do use coconut oil. I get compliments all the time and how young I look. Nutrition. Lots of nutrients. Water drink water not soda or any other BS
I had to use aquaphor under my makeup the other day. My normal under makeup moisturizer was out and the foundation I have is too thick and dry to use alone. So I grabbed the aquaphor because it was the only thing around. I didn’t think it would work but Tony amazement it looked so good, better than my normal product.
When I was around 17 years old I saw on the Tyra Banks show that Vaseline under the eyes would prevent you from getting wrinkles. Since that day until today I apply Vaseline around my eyes after my eye cream. I am now 34 years old and have no wrinkles or crow's feet around my eyes at all. Making my concealer and makeup look flawless. without streaks and wrinkles. I am a professional makeup artist myself and often get compliments about my skin and concealer. And I give this Vaseline tip to all my makeup clients. Thank you Tyra Banks and thank you Dr. Anil for this video I love all the honest information you give. Keep up the good work 👏🏻
When I was a young woman, I had a woman from India tell me to put caster oil on my face every night. Between that and henna, her advice has helped my appearance drastically.
I have used Vaseline to remove my eye makeup since I was 16. I was told/read innumerable times that it actually AGES your skin. I ignored all that and continue to use it today. I “am told” I look 10-15 years younger than my actual age. I have also used sunscreen daily (every day - always) since I was 20. These things seem to work.
@@rajanimdskincare thank you. I should add that I used Vaseline for eye makeup removal because that was all we could afford. And, regarding sunscreen, a kindly lady at Nordstrom told me to do so. These were in no way my own ideas or well researched (no Internet), just sort of “making do”.
@@DorisOReilly-k5p Hello! I have mainly used Neutrogena (sp) SPF 30 min - but lately SPF 50(+). I usually just purchase it from Costco in a pack. My face does not get burned or color. But I also try to avoid the sun, if I can (esp. mid-day).
Thanks for the reminder, my beautiful mother used it until age 52 when she died. She had perfect skin. I had stopped because someone said it was carcinogenic. Thanks Doc for clearing up that concern. Going back to this age old beauty secret!

Vaseline is a staple in our house. My favorite uses: 1. A thin layer under my makeup 2. A thick layer on bittercold winter days 3. A thick layer on my feet overnight wrapped in plastic and covered with socks 4. A thin layer on my teeth when I have to smile a lot 5. A layer on my lips throughout the day 6. Remove bandages and other tapes without pain

Aquaphors downside is if you’re allergic to lanolin /wool it will cause irritation. Vaseline is one of the safest non-allergenic on the market. Well tolerated by most. Confirmed by several working Dermatologists.
Very true! I am allergic to a substance called sesquiterpene lactone mix. It is found in over 20,000 plants, chamomile being a main one. He mentioned there is something derived from chamomile in Aquaphor. Plus I have a sensitivity to lanolin. So I use Vaseline and put CeraVe over it.
I am so glad you said that. Because I have really sensitive skin and I was torn between trying Vaseline or Aquaphor now I know it needs to be Vaseline thank you.❣️
My grandmother swore by this, i use it every so often. I also think it may kill off any microorganisms living on the skin as well. My grandmother looked about 30 years younger than she was!
Just wanted to add to this (I am no doctor) but I've been doing this since I was a teen. After I wash my face I do NOT towel dry. I leave it wet and on top of that I use my petroleum jelly. It soaks up the water and is much less gooey in fact it feels like it was instantly absorbed into my skin. I've never done all that extra towel sleeping scenarios because the water and the jelly became like a moisturizer. If you need to, use more water and in about 5 min your skin should be dry but soft and shiny.. I am 41 and always get told I look so young whatever number that is. Try this with a wet face and never towel dry your face. Use your ring finger to apply. God bless.
Im 41 and I have little to no wrinkles with just using vaseline. My grandmother always showed me to lather it all over my face and neck at night and I also use it in the morning after I wash my face. I started using it since I was around 15 yrs old. Everyone always asks me what do I use on my face because I don’t ever have to use foundation on my face and when I say Vaseline, they are always shocked to hear what I use. A few friends have tried it and none have liked it Because it made them “breakout”So I agree, it’s not for everyone. Another thing I do is I always try to stay out of the sun!
Doris Day slathered Vaseline on her whole body every night, and had beautiful skin into old age. Many Hollywood starlets used it in the 30's, 40's & 50's, and in the 70's and 80's it was the 'thing' to Vaseline your hair. Versatile Vaseline, great stuff👍
I was slugging in mid twenties with Vaseline. Years of using Vaseline at night, and I think that is the reason my skin hasn’t wrinkled as much. I use Aquaphor now, it is a better alternative for me. But, so many anti-aging products today to choose from, I still use Aquaphor at night as my last step in nightcare.
I do believe in the good of using petroleum jelly on the skin. Best home treatment for scrapes and burns I get in the kitchen! My problem with applying it overnight are twofold: one is that I have very long hair. Even in a ponytail it will get stuck in the jelly on my face. Not good. two is that I sleep on a satin pillowcase. Again the jelly will stick to the pillowcase. However, I do love using petroleum jelly (any brand) on the face, especially around the eyes and applying a hot, wet towel for 15 minutes or sit in front of a home facial steamer. If I do this at least 2 or 3 times per week I notice a reduction of crows' feet and my skin feels amazing.
Using vaseline for moisturising face, elbow and heel is very common practice over here in my family. I have more faith in vaseline then any other moisturizer. I always apply vaseline over my daily moisturising cream. It seals it. It's best for feet far better than any lotion. I always carry around a tiny vaseline while travelling. It is all rounder moisturiser, lip balm and lotion. Got the habit from my retired nurse mom.
My skin has been really dry all my life. When I was much younger, I used Vaseline on my face constantly . I couldn’t afford face creams and I got so much relief from the Vaseline and I used it morning and night for years. Im 64 and a lot of people say I look much younger. I don’t have many wrinkles on my face. In the last 15 years or so I have been using Neutrogena products and still use Vaseline just not every day. Since I discovered Aquaphor, I carry it with me, take it to work, keep in my bathroom and bedroom because it saves my dry hands especially help’s comfort my Eczema. I slather it on my feet at night and it works miracles. I think I’ll use that in my face now.
@@merylottenstein4575 I’m sorry.. that eczema can be torture. I’m lucky mine is covered by Workers comp so I can get these expensive new crew ointments and creams that work at no cost. I hope you have some relief
"What's old is new again", a beauty trick women have used for generations to keep their hands and feet smooth is, before bedtime, to slather them with Vaseline and then slip on cotton gloves or socks and wash off in the morning. Household cleaning products were harsh and it worked well to curb red irritation and cracked skin. Facial slugging was usually with cold creams like Pond's or Nozema, the latter had menthol or something in it and was popular for use on sunburns too.
Back in the early sixties, my mom would slather Vaseline all over our face on those bitter cold days, on our way to school! I hated being so greesy going to school! I ended up, however, repeating this with my children. Everyone has always commented about our family's skin! For the last 30 years, I have been using just olive oil on my damp skin night and day. And my skin has remained supple and glowing! Additionally, I slap my face all over using my finger tips, which definitely has kept my skin extremely firm!🥰 I am in my middle 60s and my skin looks like I am in my 30s ... Consistency is key😊
I started doing this a few months ago and it’s really helped lock in all the serums to work overnight and not dry off on the skin. I’m finally shifting years of skin damage and hyperpigmentation and dark circles. I used the cerave healing ointment instead of Vaseline. It’s been the cheapest product I’ve bought for a huge tub and a little bit is enough to help support the skin barrier and I wake up with hydrated radiant skin in the mornings.
Best Dr . You do all these for free to benefits those who don’t have the budget to come to your place and also who don’t live in the area . Thanks Dr ❤
@@jayan9950, For those who can afford it , power to them for supporting the Dr but for those who can't the Dr is so gracious to provide knowledge for free. Why are you so cynical?
Vaseline used as a lip balm is the only overnight product that hydrates my lips. Every other lip treatment leaves me longing for more lip treatment because my lips are dry. Saving myself a lot of money.
At 73, I combine a little Vaseline with pure argon oil because I have eczema if I don’t keep it under control. My routine is simple and as pure as I can make it. I wash my face with no tears Johnson baby shampoo.
I know that many people have heard that black don't crack. Most of it is melanin, but many black people are accustomed to using vaseline or thicker lotions on their face starting from childhood. Many of us remember getting "lotioned up" by our moms or grandmoms after washing our faces, before going outside, or before going to bed.
Aveeno eczema care moisturizing cream is better. It has petroleum jelly as well as oats, glycerin, ceramides, and panthenol. I’ve tried using Vaseline before and I did not find that it moisturizer my skin that well, it just sits on top of it. I use aveeno to slug my skin at night and I wake up in the morning with perfectly hydrated skin. I’ve used it for years now. Note that I had eczema as a child growing up and I have always dealt with very dry, flaky skin. I also damaged my skin barrier in my early twenties by using too many chemical exfoliants which made it worse. Nothing has worked like aveeno. When my skin is at its worst, the only thing that works is oats. I use the aveeno oat bath pouches to make face masks and I use those and slug my face with the aveeno cream until it heals. Nothing works as well. I also found that Vaseline triggered my rosacea. Oh and I live in canada lol so I have to really layer up on the aveeno in the winter.
I love Bag Balm. So did Raquel Welch. I think that’s why she looked so good. If you exfoliate your face, neck and hands, then apply Bag Balm while your skin is still damp, you’ll be surprised how supple you look in the morning. Slather on lips at night too.
I use to use Bag Balm all through my 20’s with great results,… I’m not really sure why I stopped using said, probably just got caught uP with life 🥴 …Thanks for the plug,… ordering some now 😉
I'm doing slugging for almost 10 years. I don't see wrinkles on my face even I'm already 39 now. Some people told me its dangerous to use petroleum on my face in long run. Thank you doctor for this information because now I know what I'm doing is right😁
@@soulthriver-oz6470 hi. I think slugging is putting sealant on your face to avoid evaporation of the moisture. Putting from lightest texture to the thickest. After cleansing I used light moisturizer then next is my vitamin c serum, then sunflower oil or grape seed oil then vaseline then baby powder before I go to bed.
Many people don’t get wrinkles in their late 30s and 40s. It shows up in your late 50s and 60s even with good skin care. Nobody can escape the aging process due to gravity. The skin may look great but people still age and get wrinkles as it is part of aging.
@@vdthbykris8247 That's basically what I was saying. But yes, add the word "delaying" if only for a few years. You still will have wrinkles whether they are very fine wrinkles or deep ones. Still wrinkles. At 55 plus.
I've been skeptical of using Vaseline due to its origins. In the past I've used it on my feet when they became dry. I applied vaseline on them put socks and went to bed. The next morning they were silky. Thanks for detailing Aquaphor, I just thought it was another name for petroleum jelly, it has some good ingredients. Very helpful info on active ingredients too.
@@rajanimdskincare I admire and respect you sooo much!! Your content is so helpful and you explain it in such a simple way… THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge. How many days a week can we slug??
Just saw this video, so my comment is late. Vaseline is an essential item in my home. My great grandmother used it for everything. I use a dab of it around my eyes and it has helped minimize wrinkles. Aquaphor was the only thing that worked on my kids Exzema. Vaseline is super cheap too! Doc, is on point in everything he says.
I like Cerave healing ointment for slugging. It has ceramides and hyaluronic acid and seals in my mix of moisturizer and oil blend that I applied prior.
We use Vaseline for my granddaughter’s sever Excema, especially around her eyes. It works wonders and it doesn’t irritate her eyes if she rubs them. She’s too little to stop herself, but she’s at least understanding that rubbing or scratching makes it worse. For the rest of her body, we’ve used Eucerin Original Healing Cream at least 3 times a day. Although it’s sticky, after 4 years of trying everything else, including steroids and lotions recommended by different dermatologists, it works the best, hands down.
She should get Ivermectin paste at a farm store and put it in her skin once a day. It kills the Demodex mites that cause inflammation and the spread of exema. It is used for many dermatologic conditions. 1.87% Ivermectin... Durvet Ivermectin is what many of us use. It also works great on acne and rosacea.
Vaseline cleared up my son's eczema after years of using other things recommend by doctors and dermatologists and being told by them to steer clear of petroleum jelly.🥴😊
Stinging nettle tea can clear up even severe excema. In a week. You can make tea and serve it cold, mix it with juice if desired. It doesn’t taste bad, it’s mellow and just tastes like green beans. Babies can drink it from a bottle. It’s about ten dollars a week or twenty, for an adult, if you buy the nettles from a health food store. Once the excema is under control you can greatly reduce the amount of tea, and just avoid irritating foods and soaps. It grows in rich loamy soil and you can get seeds. It grows here in Quebec but the cold winters limit regrowth. It’s also a good food source when cooked, like spinach.
I use a thick coating of pure aloe vera. Also... aloe vera has been the best makeup primer! Loved Nip Fab's bee sting mask or dragons blood mask as a leave on primer.
I been using it for many years! For eye makeup removal because I used to get sty a lot and my eye Dr recommended and I had never had a problem ever since! My lashes are long and healthy so it does work and I love it!😅
@@tatianaroche1591 hi basically I get a small amount, enough to cover my lashes rub it on my lashes top and bottom with clean hands, all around my eyes, until I see all makeup has soften! Then I remove it with a cotton pad and cotton swab for the closer lashes on the bottom and around the edges by the tear drop! I repeat it several times until I see the pad is clear then I wash my face! One last time! And that it! I had lots of problems with sty but now I never get them ! Thank Gxd because they were very painful amd my eye would get swollen to the point several times my sty had to drain and is very painful! I hope this helps!
I used Vaseline around my eyes growing up until I found out where it came from. That being said, I will be 69 in Oct and I have zero crows feet or lines under my eyes. I use organic oils now.😊
I agree. I am not going to use anything with petroleum. The clue is in the name, no THANK you. There are wonderful organic products around not to mention things in your kitchen like lemon and orange peel.
@@hajji1509 I'm 69 and have been using vaseline for hand eczema relief, eyes and feet and will continue. people remark I look 40ish, so I'll take it!😂 Will be using it on face,neck and chest as well. I do use sunscreen on my face neck and chest daily so that helps enormously too. Thank you Dr. Rashid!❤
I like Eucerin Intensive Repair Essential Oil Balm for slugging. It contains all essential oils and has that thick coating that's great for glass skin in the winter.
Thank you doctor for mentioning my favorite use of Vaselin: preventing stains from hair dye. I’d like to add that I swear by Vaseline Lip Therapy in a small tin packaging. Nothing else can compare to it in terms of calming lip irritation and protecting lips in general. ❤
Just remember, skin is our largest organ, and anything we put on our skin can pass through it. I knew a woman in her late 80’s who only used Vit. E on her face and the back of her hands. Her skin was beautiful and flawless. She would buy Vit. E in the little gelcap “pearls,” snip the Pearl with cleaned scissors she used just for that purpose, and apply. If you’re using a petroleum jelly product, you must always thoroughly wash your skin before applying it, or you may get a fungal infection or other skin infection. And always keep the jar of product as “pure” as you can; don’t put it on your hands, feet, etc., and then use the same jar for your face. The product can get bacteria in it. And go easy with it, too. Me? I’m sticking with seed oils, which also work wonders and, imo, are a safer alternative to a petroleum product.
Good to hear it is safe to use, my dad is 88 and has used Vaseline on his face for years. He still lives alone, works full time, and lifts weights every day.
Great info especially the last part about who should avoid slugging and other good uses of vaseline/aquaphor. My skin is prone to clogging so I just stick with glycerin-based products for overnight moisturizing skincare - it is probably the most non-comedogenic great humectant I've come across and cost-effective.
Quite the history for Vaseline. I have not tried slugging the thought of my face sticking to a towel …well I would probably not sleep. The Aquaphor seems like a better product . I am going to try this for my lower legs. I was cutting down old overgrown cedar trees and managed to bash up my legs pretty good. Sounds like Aquaphor will work well, and winter dry skin.🙏🏻😊❤️
When I had a large skin tag removed it left a big hole. The dr said to keep vasoline on it until it heal. It helped heal the area, keep it from itching. I may try this on my upper chest as I have those wrinkles that comes with age. 😂. My face barely has any
Oh wow thank u so much Doc ❤ I've been spending hundreds and thousands of dollars for skin care products. From now on I'm gonna buy Vaseline start using it on my skin b4 bedtime . I hope it's not too late yet. I'm 68 y.o.🙏😘💝
Interesting. I guess that explains why I am 41 years old with no small wrinkles around my eyeballs. I don’t squint, and I’ve always used petroleum jelly for removing my eye make up.
I'd rather use olive oil. I have oily skin but I believe it works wonders on dry skin. I use it to remove make up. Since it's pure (perhaps not extra virgin but definitely safe to consume) I believe it's better than anything artificial or chemical
I am 57. Live in MN. So spend most of my yr in extreme cold. My skin is very fair and sensitive. I find grapeseed oil to work so nicely to remove my make up before bed.
Great video! My skin feels better with grease on it! At night I cleanse mostly with water, spray with rose water, then use an oil combo of coconut & castor oils, Aquaphor or a commercially sold beef tallow.
I’ll try it out for a few weeks and see how I do with an update, maybe I got it all backwards. You can see how it can turn people off, but I see how it can be misrepresented in the media. I’ll check back in. ☺️ Also great it isn’t acne causing… I’m excited to see how it works. Very informative.
Actually this is proven to be true for my skin, I have dry-combination skin. I religiously applied castor oil/vaseline on my lashes & brows, the oil would dissipate to the rest of the thin skin surrounding my eyes, I massage my eyes every night in circular upward motions, miraculously, now 38, I don't have a single wrinkle anywhere on the eyes. It also helps with my dark circles and I have none. I have never bought an eye cream because I don't need to. I just need my oil & vaseline 😻😻💯
As a vegan, I see that I can't use Aquaphor - but thanks for the heads up on vaseline! Years ago I would use a thin layer of it for very dry skin. I'm going to try that again at night as you suggest. Thank you, Dr. Rajani!
we used to do paraffin wax masks for face, hands and feet. Skin was always fresh and smooth afterwards. They don't seem to be used by beauty therapists anymore despite being a simple and luxurious treatment but the petrolrum aspect seems to have a negative connotation these days
Just my personal experience: I’m very oily skin and love to put vaseline on my face & whole body. It’s great to do after a shower when your body is still wet and the skin is warm, as i find it’s very easy to massage in very little product, and it’s very effective imo. I don’t know about slathering it on but for thin layers it works a treat! It also makes a great replacement for mascara if youre a wizard with an eyelash curler. 😄 Warning: when i was younger and was very acne prone i would wash and medicate my skin so much to the point of dehydrating my face, yet the oils would ooze even worse from my skin. (Gross, right?!) My face looked like oily crepe paper. But a few days of Vaseline always helped to restore the balance, allow my skin cells water layer to replenish and slow the oiliness down.

Is putting saffron oil better than any of these?
Just an anecdote, but when I was 12 I noticed that my mom and her sisters had lots of wrinkles around their eyes so I started putting vaseline around my eyes as a moisturizer. Did that for many years and never developed crow's feet. (Will be 80 next month.)
Wow that's brilliant do u know if pple with rosacea can use aquaphor?
Excellent and thanks for sharing
I do the same, 42 and no wrinkles around my eyes
Amazing!
Wow 👌👍
I haven’t used soap on my skin for thirty years. I wake up, wash with water, dry my face, spray it with organic rose water, then put a good amount of organic cold pressed oil. Now that I’m living on the Mediterranean I use olive. The dermatologist last year here, asked me if I’m lying about my age and so did the cardiologist. I also use baking soda in the shower to exfoliate my face and neck twice a week.
I exfoliate with baking soda in the shower and C&H sugar (perfect cristal size) on face.
Olive oil not good for dry skin
What kind of organic cold pressed oil? Olive?

I had hormone positive breast cancer 21 years ago. I was advised by my oncologist not to use petrochemical products such as vaseline because they contain xenoestrogens and are endocrine disrupters.
Since the skin is a living organ I would rather not use anything that might make me have a recurrence. I find castor oil can replace vaseline pretty much for any use.
thank you for this comment I didnt like the idea of putting a petrochemical on my skin esp if you have to remove your actives it seems like not the best idea, I will def be trying the castor oil instead!!
Watch dr Dray Vaseline

I was hormone positive with the breast cancer I had. No one told me this! Thank you!😊

I use castor oil on my face and neck at bedtime. I put a bath towel over my pillow. Castor oil has many benefits and anti aging is a benefit to the skin. Reduces scars too.
Also good for eyes but #hexanefree & organic
I like mixing it with a little good quality olive oil.
I put it on at least an hour before sleep it is not so sticky anymore.
Hate the feeling 😂
Yes!
I started this a decade ago. A met an elderly gay man at a wedding. I knew he had to be in his late 70’s or early 80’s because he was the older brother I my mom’s best friend. I remarked that his skin was amazing, and I asked him what he used. He said “don’t tell anybody but I’ve been using Vaseline all over my face for many years.”.
Holy moly, I’ve been doing it ever since. It ABSOLUTELY works. I use a small sponge to apply a thin layer of aquaphar gently all over. It does not cause acne. I’ve had acne and stopped using all those medications. I wash my face with a small amount of rice powder. It’s SO smooth.
My mom used every night she passed at 95 had beautiful skin
One of Marilyn Monroe's beauty secrets was using a layer of vaseline under her makeup. It was supposedly responsible for her glow in photos. My mother had me use vaseline on my hands and skin growing up. She is 96 and has minimal wrinkles for her age. Thank you!
Wow? Did you know her?
@@Lise7-7-7 I wish I had known her. She was a very special, and misunderstood lady. I have heard interviews with her makeup artist/friend who traveled with her everywhere. The layer of vaseline under her makeup reflected light which gave her a glow in her pictures from what he said.
Well, she died young,we don't know how the long term results would have been on her.

I am 63 and after using the most expensive creams and treatments with little to no results I decided to use less expensive drugstore products. Well...they didnt do much. Now my biggest problem has been my hands..So two nights ago I decided to try Vaseline. Today my hands look thirty years younger. Ladies please try this especially at night...in fact do it head to toe and I promise you you will look like a new woman❤
There's a Vaseline 'cream'.... it's a white cream. Did you ever use that?
@Melinda8162 Yes⭐
When I was in my 40's I put Vaseline on my face often at night, I swear when I woke up my face looked incredible. At 62 do it ever now and then. Friends says my face looks very smooth
I am chuckling. Grew up just outside Boston with mom and grandparents from Maine. Harsh Winters. After all our other apparel went on Vasaline was always the last thing that mom or gran smoothed all over our face. This protected us from wind burn, and the cold. It worked and I did it to my kids. We swore by "Vicks" and "Noxema" as well and were big milk drinkers. Perfect skin. At 64, sleep, fasting, facial oils, almost no cosmetics, k2 and my own homemade stock broths and still pretty amazing skin. Liver and onions and Cod Liver oil too. Sometimes simple and old fashioned, just works. " Put out enough of a glow and you'll blind others to your wrinkles" and "pretty begins on the inside", two family mottos to live by.
Yes ma'am swear by cod liver oil and extra virgin olive oil (goes back to Bible days)and if olives were good enough for Jesus need I say more??
Beautiful on the INSIDE, Beautiful on the outside. So very true.
Amen 💯%
My Grandmother is 96 years young and has never used anything besides Vaseline and she still has beautiful skin. Vaseline is the only moisturizer I use.
It doesn’t clog pores?
Petroleum is what she's putting on her skin. NO NO NO>
Well, chyle, it's not the Vaseline then... It's called Genetics... Sunscreen is key for younger more youthful skin.
umm oil refinery by product? pretty sure its toxic for your skin.
Ir works, but:. I supose she is black, so her skin is firmer than native and caucasian. And almost 1 hundred years ago life was lets say, cleaner. The environment was cleaner. Less free radicals out there. And last, todays life is way more stressing than 20 years ago. And thats key. I have seen it in me, ive been stressed the last two years, and my skin looks older than my real age. And before that, i looked 5 years younger than my real age. I'm 35 now.
Genetics and stress i think is the key.
I have used Vaseline since I was 16 as my moisturizer. I'm 53 and have no wrinkles and barely any crows feet. I use also to take off my makeup.
I’m a radiation therapist and we loved recommending Aquaphor for our patients. It’s great for skin burns, chapped hands and lips and more. Side note, I love using Vaseline or Aquaphor for my heels at night so I wake up with soft skin.
My great grandmother used petroleum jelly on her face for most of her adult life. She died at 90. Her skin was still gorgeous, she looked decades younger.
When I was 18 I accidentally ran through a sliding glass door and wound up in ER. (My knee broke the glass.) The ER doc recommended vaseline for the nicks and cuts on my face, saying that I wouldn’t scar, and I didn’t.
Didn't what? Didn't use Vaseline or didn't have scar?
I use vaseline on my entire body...ever since i saw a dermatologist and worked on many top brands like Lancome, Elizabeth Arden, Clinique who said the best moisturizer and kept you young was vaseline...people often comment how young i look for 50...
How do you use it?
Isn’t it hard to apply it? All over your body ??
@@catgirl444 not at all....I use a huge glob..rub all over then top off with a bit of body cream to take away the greasiness...works like a bomb...my partner says I have the skin of a 30yr old...try it! You can also use a view drops of water over the vaseline...rub in till it no longer feels greasy and like a thick cream...
@@jennymora808 huge glob, rub all over and in as much as you can, top off with a bit of body cream or little water, run in..this turns it into thick cream and gets rid of greasiness
@@catgirl444how would it be hard? Super duper easy.
I started using coconut oil on my face b/c none of the lotions I had been using would calm the itching from my dry skin (due to low winter humidity). It is amazing! I have that "glass skin" now.
I’ve been using aquaphor on my skin for 15-20 years for no reason other than it made sense to me. I find it funny to hear that it’s a thing called “slugging” now. I’m in my late 40s, and my skin is pretty great.
Your 40
It’s from the inside out ! Lots of greens lots of water vitamins C A E D ALOE VERA. Coconut oil and castor oil.
I’m 70 and I only use good soap like goat soap or Dr. Bonnets and I do use coconut oil. I get compliments all the time and how young I look. Nutrition. Lots of nutrients. Water drink water not soda or any other BS
I had to use aquaphor under my makeup the other day. My normal under makeup moisturizer was out and the foundation I have is too thick and dry to use alone. So I grabbed the aquaphor because it was the only thing around. I didn’t think it would work but Tony amazement it looked so good, better than my normal product.
Who wants to use castor oil inside? Not me. 💩
When I was around 17 years old I saw on the Tyra Banks show that Vaseline under the eyes would prevent you from getting wrinkles. Since that day until today I apply Vaseline around my eyes after my eye cream. I am now 34 years old and have no wrinkles or crow's feet around my eyes at all. Making my concealer and makeup look flawless. without streaks and wrinkles. I am a professional makeup artist myself and often get compliments about my skin and concealer. And I give this Vaseline tip to all my makeup clients. Thank you Tyra Banks and thank you Dr. Anil for this video I love all the honest information you give. Keep up the good work 👏🏻
How do you avoid getting milia?
@@Miamia_01 I think I’m lucky I never get them. But I use a thin layer of vaseline not too much.

you put hena to your face?
Possibly henna hair color. It's supposed to be a safe alternative to hair dyes??

I have used Vaseline to remove my eye makeup since I was 16. I was told/read innumerable times that it actually AGES your skin. I ignored all that and continue to use it today.
I “am told” I look 10-15 years younger than my actual age. I have also used sunscreen daily (every day - always) since I was 20. These things seem to work.
Thanks for sharing!! Most importantly exactly what you say....real-life
@@rajanimdskincare thank you. I should add that I used Vaseline for eye makeup removal because that was all we could afford. And, regarding sunscreen, a kindly lady at Nordstrom told me to do so. These were in no way my own ideas or well researched (no Internet), just sort of “making do”.

@@DorisOReilly-k5p Hello! I have mainly used Neutrogena (sp) SPF 30 min - but lately SPF 50(+). I usually just purchase it from Costco in a pack. My face does not get burned or color. But I also try to avoid the sun, if I can (esp. mid-day).
I do this toooo :)

Vaseline is a staple in our house. My favorite uses:
1. A thin layer under my makeup
2. A thick layer on bittercold winter days
3. A thick layer on my feet overnight wrapped in plastic and covered with socks
4. A thin layer on my teeth when I have to smile a lot
5. A layer on my lips throughout the day
6. Remove bandages and other tapes without pain

Aquaphors downside is if you’re allergic to lanolin /wool it will cause irritation. Vaseline is one of the safest non-allergenic on the market. Well tolerated by most. Confirmed by several working Dermatologists.
Very true! I am allergic to a substance called sesquiterpene lactone mix. It is found in over 20,000 plants, chamomile being a main one. He mentioned there is something derived from chamomile in Aquaphor. Plus I have a sensitivity to lanolin. So I use Vaseline and put CeraVe over it.
No lanolin in vaseline. It is a refined petroleum product.
I use CeraVe Healing Ointment for slugging. And am very happy with the results.
@@Sand1955good to know. I’m allergic to ragweed. That’s connected to a lot of things
I am so glad you said that. Because I have really sensitive skin and I was torn between trying Vaseline or Aquaphor now I know it needs to be Vaseline thank you.❣️
My grandmother swore by this, i use it every so often. I also think it may kill off any microorganisms living on the skin as well. My grandmother looked about 30 years younger than she was!
Just wanted to add to this (I am no doctor) but I've been doing this since I was a teen. After I wash my face I do NOT towel dry. I leave it wet and on top of that I use my petroleum jelly. It soaks up the water and is much less gooey in fact it feels like it was instantly absorbed into my skin. I've never done all that extra towel sleeping scenarios because the water and the jelly became like a moisturizer. If you need to, use more water and in about 5 min your skin should be dry but soft and shiny.. I am 41 and always get told I look so young whatever number that is. Try this with a wet face and never towel dry your face. Use your ring finger to apply. God bless.
I do the same water and Vaseline is a good moisturizer!

Im 41 and I have little to no wrinkles with just using vaseline. My grandmother always showed me to lather it all over my face and neck at night and I also use it in the morning after I wash my face. I started using it since I was around 15 yrs old. Everyone always asks me what do I use on my face because I don’t ever have to use foundation on my face and when I say Vaseline, they are always shocked to hear what I use. A few friends have tried it and none have liked it Because it made them “breakout”So I agree, it’s not for everyone. Another thing I do is I always try to stay out of the sun!
I use shea butter on my very sensitive,acne prone skin..works perfectly!
Doris Day slathered Vaseline on her whole body every night, and had beautiful skin into old age. Many Hollywood starlets used it in the 30's, 40's & 50's, and in the 70's and 80's it was the 'thing' to Vaseline your hair. Versatile Vaseline, great stuff👍
I’m sure it did wonders for her love life !! Great skin though
Yes she did and had gorgeous skin❤
I just can't imagine the sheets on her bed. I didn't think Vaseline washed out of fabric.
Do she really use Vaseline on her face?
Dr. Rajani, I’d be willing to bet you are the most knowledgeable plastic surgeon in the US! 😊
He's a plastic surgeon?? I thought he was a Board certified dermatologist.
I've only moisturized with Vaseline since I was in my early twenties only to save money and nothing seemed to help with dry patches but Vaseline.
Ever tried tallow
When my baby was in the NICU, they used Aquaphor on his skin because it was dry and cracked. It worked wonders.
I have an aunt who has been doing this for 45 years. (Vaseline) She doesn’t have one wrinkle. Beautiful skin
I used Trentinoin then Aquaphor to slug. My skin has never looked to good.
Interesting thanks. People also use vaseline around the trunks of fruit trees to stop bugs crawling up and into the buds and spoiling the fruit.
I will try that too
I was slugging in mid twenties with Vaseline. Years of using Vaseline at night, and I think that is the reason my skin hasn’t wrinkled as much. I use Aquaphor now, it is a better alternative for me. But, so many anti-aging products today to choose from, I still use Aquaphor at night as my last step in nightcare.
Which Aquafor do you use ?
Yes!what I'd the name of the aquaphor I never knew of this product
@@Sroman29the ointment not the lotion. Lotions contain alcohol.
same here. This is news to me.@@monaattiah3976
@@Sroman29 Following, I hope she sends a reply.
Most dermatologists will tell you to use petrolatum as it's an excellent occlusive to wear overnight or during the winter.
I do believe in the good of using petroleum jelly on the skin. Best home treatment for scrapes and burns I get in the kitchen! My problem with applying it overnight are twofold: one is that I have very long hair. Even in a ponytail it will get stuck in the jelly on my face. Not good. two is that I sleep on a satin pillowcase. Again the jelly will stick to the pillowcase. However, I do love using petroleum jelly (any brand) on the face, especially around the eyes and applying a hot, wet towel for 15 minutes or sit in front of a home facial steamer. If I do this at least 2 or 3 times per week I notice a reduction of crows' feet and my skin feels amazing.
Using vaseline for moisturising face, elbow and heel is very common practice over here in my family. I have more faith in vaseline then any other moisturizer. I always apply vaseline over my daily moisturising cream. It seals it.
It's best for feet far better than any lotion. I always carry around a tiny vaseline while travelling. It is all rounder moisturiser, lip balm and lotion.
Got the habit from my retired nurse mom.
My skin has been really dry all my life. When I was much younger, I used Vaseline on my face constantly . I couldn’t afford face creams and I got so much relief from the Vaseline and I used it morning and night for years. Im 64 and a lot of people say I look much younger. I don’t have many wrinkles on my face. In the last 15 years or so I have been using Neutrogena products and still use Vaseline just not every day. Since I discovered Aquaphor, I carry it with me, take it to work, keep in my bathroom and bedroom because it saves my dry hands especially help’s comfort my Eczema. I slather it on my feet at night and it works miracles. I think I’ll use that in my face now.
Same here but the vaseline makes me break out now and worsens my excema.
@@merylottenstein4575 I’m sorry.. that eczema can be torture. I’m lucky mine is covered by Workers comp so I can get these expensive new crew ointments and creams that work at no cost. I hope you have some relief
"What's old is new again", a beauty trick women have used for generations to keep their hands and feet smooth is, before bedtime, to slather them with Vaseline and then slip on cotton gloves or socks and wash off in the morning. Household cleaning products were harsh and it worked well to curb red irritation and cracked skin. Facial slugging was usually with cold creams like Pond's or Nozema, the latter had menthol or something in it and was popular for use on sunburns too.
Vaseline is the only thing that works in a dry climate. It’s perfect, no issues.
Back in the early sixties, my mom would slather Vaseline all over our face on those bitter cold days, on our way to school! I hated being so greesy going to school! I ended up, however, repeating this with my children. Everyone has always commented about our family's skin!
For the last 30 years, I have been using just olive oil on my damp skin night and day. And my skin has remained supple and glowing! Additionally, I slap my face all over using my finger tips, which definitely has kept my skin extremely firm!🥰 I am in my middle 60s and my skin looks like I am in my 30s ... Consistency is key😊
May i know if what kept your skin suoole and glowing was it the petroleum jelly or the olive oil?
😂
I started doing this a few months ago and it’s really helped lock in all the serums to work overnight and not dry off on the skin. I’m finally shifting years of skin damage and hyperpigmentation and dark circles. I used the cerave healing ointment instead of Vaseline. It’s been the cheapest product I’ve bought for a huge tub and a little bit is enough to help support the skin barrier and I wake up with hydrated radiant skin in the mornings.
Thanks will try that instead of Vaseline which is a bit thick
@@Kay-uy4xn yes you only need a thin film of the ointment which is a healing ointment so it helps the barrier more than Vaseline xx

Vaseline used as a lip balm is the only overnight product that hydrates my lips. Every other lip treatment leaves me longing for more lip treatment because my lips are dry. Saving myself a lot of money.
doesn't it taste like motor oil to you? that's what I smell when I tried it once.. I mean it is a by product of oil refining. gross.
I think "crow's feet" are pretty. Those lines that elongate the eyes? Pretty actually!
Agreed!
Bless your heart for thinking that ! 🙏🥰
I’m 54, I’ve been using Vaseline on my face since I was 13. I had dry skin . I’m glad I did .
At 73, I combine a little Vaseline with pure argon oil because I have eczema if I don’t keep it under control.
My routine is simple and as pure as I can make it. I wash my face with no tears Johnson baby shampoo.
I know that many people have heard that black don't crack. Most of it is melanin, but many black people are accustomed to using vaseline or thicker lotions on their face starting from childhood. Many of us remember getting "lotioned up" by our moms or grandmoms after washing our faces, before going outside, or before going to bed.
so true,,
My mom did that so many years ago. She is ahead of her time❤
My grandparents too! And here we are thinking that they weren't very smart and advanced. Lol
Aveeno eczema care moisturizing cream is better. It has petroleum jelly as well as oats, glycerin, ceramides, and panthenol. I’ve tried using Vaseline before and I did not find that it moisturizer my skin that well, it just sits on top of it. I use aveeno to slug my skin at night and I wake up in the morning with perfectly hydrated skin. I’ve used it for years now. Note that I had eczema as a child growing up and I have always dealt with very dry, flaky skin. I also damaged my skin barrier in my early twenties by using too many chemical exfoliants which made it worse. Nothing has worked like aveeno. When my skin is at its worst, the only thing that works is oats. I use the aveeno oat bath pouches to make face masks and I use those and slug my face with the aveeno cream until it heals. Nothing works as well. I also found that Vaseline triggered my rosacea. Oh and I live in canada lol so I have to really layer up on the aveeno in the winter.
Thanks! I love the Aveeno oatmeal bath. That has saved me many times. I will give this a try
I love Bag Balm. So did Raquel Welch. I think that’s why she looked so good. If you exfoliate your face, neck and hands, then apply Bag Balm while your skin is still damp, you’ll be surprised how supple you look in the morning. Slather on lips at night too.
I use to use Bag Balm all through my 20’s with great results,… I’m not really sure why I stopped using said, probably just got caught uP with life 🥴
…Thanks for the plug,… ordering some now 😉
What is the bag balm pls
I read that the model Carmen dell'Orefice loves Bag Balm too. She's about 90+ one of the world's most beautiful women.
Bag Balm is my go to as well! I swear by that stuff
What is in Bag Balm?
I'm doing slugging for almost 10 years. I don't see wrinkles on my face even I'm already 39 now. Some people told me its dangerous to use petroleum on my face in long run. Thank you doctor for this information because now I know what I'm doing is right😁
What does slugging it mean? I just ordered aquafor. Never heard of it before this post in Australia.
@@soulthriver-oz6470 hi. I think slugging is putting sealant on your face to avoid evaporation of the moisture. Putting from lightest texture to the thickest. After cleansing I used light moisturizer then next is my vitamin c serum, then sunflower oil or grape seed oil then vaseline then baby powder before I go to bed.
Many people don’t get wrinkles in their late 30s and 40s. It shows up in your late 50s and 60s even with good skin care. Nobody can escape the aging process due to gravity. The skin may look great but people still age and get wrinkles as it is part of aging.
@@justhere3794 yes that's true. But at least delaying that a bit with proper skincare and good lifestyle.
@@vdthbykris8247 That's basically what I was saying. But yes, add the word "delaying" if only for a few years. You still will have wrinkles whether they are very fine wrinkles or deep ones. Still wrinkles. At 55 plus.
Another good one is Cerave healing ointment. I use it by the tub especially on my neck
I have always done this. I started when I was 12 years old. I have been told that my skin is amazing but I am also
religious with the SPF.
Stopping the wars would be great for the environment and humanity too! ❤

I've been skeptical of using Vaseline due to its origins. In the past I've used it on my feet when they became dry. I applied vaseline on them put socks and went to bed. The next morning they were silky. Thanks for detailing Aquaphor, I just thought it was another name for petroleum jelly, it has some good ingredients. Very helpful info on active ingredients too.
Very welcome

@@truthprevails_theoriginalhuh?
Just saw this video, so my comment is late. Vaseline is an essential item in my home. My great grandmother used it for everything. I use a dab of it around my eyes and it has helped minimize wrinkles. Aquaphor was the only thing that worked on my kids Exzema. Vaseline is super cheap too! Doc, is on point in everything he says.
I like Cerave healing ointment for slugging. It has ceramides and hyaluronic acid and seals in my mix of moisturizer and oil blend that I applied prior.
Mee too. Love it.
Doesn't that have a ton of alcohol in it? Alcohol is very drying!
@@tammymercer2822I looked at the ingredients. I didn’t see any alcohol in it. Almost half of it is made of petroleum.
Great to know! Thanks for explaining this to me!
We use Vaseline for my granddaughter’s sever Excema, especially around her eyes. It works wonders and it doesn’t irritate her eyes if she rubs them. She’s too little to stop herself, but she’s at least understanding that rubbing or scratching makes it worse. For the rest of her body, we’ve used Eucerin Original Healing Cream at least 3 times a day. Although it’s sticky, after 4 years of trying everything else, including steroids and lotions recommended by different dermatologists, it works the best, hands down.
She should get Ivermectin paste at a farm store and put it in her skin once a day. It kills the Demodex mites that cause inflammation and the spread of exema. It is used for many dermatologic conditions. 1.87% Ivermectin... Durvet Ivermectin is what many of us use. It also works great on acne and rosacea.
@trinitymeadows691 Thanks so much!!
Vaseline cleared up my son's eczema after years of using other things recommend by doctors and dermatologists and being told by them to steer clear of petroleum jelly.🥴😊
Stinging nettle tea can clear up even severe excema. In a week. You can make tea and serve it cold, mix it with juice if desired. It doesn’t taste bad, it’s mellow and just tastes like green beans. Babies can drink it from a bottle. It’s about ten dollars a week or twenty, for an adult, if you buy the nettles from a health food store. Once the excema is under control you can greatly reduce the amount of tea, and just avoid irritating foods and soaps.
It grows in rich loamy soil and you can get seeds. It grows here in Quebec but the cold winters limit regrowth. It’s also a good food source when cooked, like spinach.
Excema is often caused by food/environmental allergies. I would speak to a dermatologist. ❤
I use a thick coating of pure aloe vera. Also... aloe vera has been the best makeup primer!
Loved Nip Fab's bee sting mask or dragons blood mask as a leave on primer.
“Maybe stopping the wars.” AMEN.
AMEN! ✝️🙏🏻❤️
Vaseline has worked for me for over 20+ years. I also love using castor oil.
It's a must for winter months in Canada!

I repeat it several times until I see the pad is clear then I wash my face! One last time! And that it! I had lots of problems with sty but now I never get them ! Thank Gxd because they were very painful amd my eye would get swollen to the point several times my sty had to drain and is very painful! I hope this helps!
You put Vaseline or aquafor in your lashes
I used Vaseline around my eyes growing up until I found out where it came from. That being said, I will be 69 in Oct and I have zero crows feet or lines under my eyes. I use organic oils now.😊
❤
You use organic oils , which ones and it is for your face , thanks
I agree. I am not going to use anything with petroleum. The clue is in the name, no THANK you. There are wonderful organic products around not to mention things in your kitchen like lemon and orange peel.

I'm 69 and have been using vaseline for hand eczema relief, eyes and feet and will continue. people remark I look 40ish, so I'll take it!😂 Will be using it on face,neck and chest as well. I do use sunscreen on my face neck and chest daily so that helps enormously too. Thank you Dr. Rashid!❤
Petroleum is organic.
I like Eucerin Intensive Repair Essential Oil Balm for slugging. It contains all essential oils and has that thick coating that's great for glass skin in the winter.
Oh my gosh Dr.Rajani, you look just stunning in that gold. I love color, and used to do color analysis on people. Just had to tell you, georgeous
Thank you doctor for mentioning my favorite use of Vaselin: preventing stains from hair dye. I’d like to add that I swear by Vaseline Lip Therapy in a small tin packaging. Nothing else can compare to it in terms of calming lip irritation and protecting lips in general. ❤
Coconut oil is amazing and what I use to as not carcinogenic vasoline is
@Portia620 Can you link a peer reviewed study proving Vaseline is carcinogenic? Genuinely curious 🩵
Thanks for the lips tip!
Just remember, skin is our largest organ, and anything we put on our skin can pass through it. I knew a woman in her late 80’s who only used Vit. E on her face and the back of her hands. Her skin was beautiful and flawless. She would buy Vit. E in the little gelcap “pearls,” snip the Pearl with cleaned scissors she used just for that purpose, and apply. If you’re using a petroleum jelly product, you must always thoroughly wash your skin before applying it, or you may get a fungal infection or other skin infection. And always keep the jar of product as “pure” as you can; don’t put it on your hands, feet, etc., and then use the same jar for your face. The product can get bacteria in it. And go easy with it, too. Me? I’m sticking with seed oils, which also work wonders and, imo, are a safer alternative to a petroleum product.
Removing Vaseline from its jar with a spoon really helps keep it sanitary😊
Good to hear it is safe to use, my dad is 88 and has used Vaseline on his face for years. He still lives alone, works full time, and lifts weights every day.
Great info especially the last part about who should avoid slugging and other good uses of vaseline/aquaphor. My skin is prone to clogging so I just stick with glycerin-based products for overnight moisturizing skincare - it is probably the most non-comedogenic great humectant I've come across and cost-effective.
Yes vegetable glycerine is awesome and healthy.
What do you use exactly? I did not understand, sorry. Tia
Thanks! What product/brand do you use?
Quite the history for Vaseline. I have not tried slugging the thought of my face sticking to a towel …well I would probably not sleep. The Aquaphor seems like a better product . I am going to try this for my lower legs. I was cutting down old overgrown cedar trees and managed to bash up my legs pretty good. Sounds like Aquaphor will work well, and winter dry skin.🙏🏻😊❤️
When I had a large skin tag removed it left a big hole. The dr said to keep vasoline on it until it heal. It helped heal the area, keep it from itching. I may try this on my upper chest as I have those wrinkles that comes with age. 😂. My face barely has any
My mother had the best skin and that’s all she used. She had the best skin I swear. I too use this too and I have great skin too!
Oh wow thank u so much Doc ❤
I've been spending hundreds and thousands of dollars for skin care products. From now on I'm gonna buy Vaseline start using it on my skin b4 bedtime . I hope it's not too late yet. I'm 68 y.o.🙏😘💝
I do slugging so many years is works for me the best think ever
This is one of the best informative channels I've come across recently! Thank you!
Glad you think so! . Stay tuned
Interesting. I guess that explains why I am 41 years old with no small wrinkles around my eyeballs. I don’t squint, and I’ve always used petroleum jelly for removing my eye make up.
I'd rather use olive oil. I have oily skin but I believe it works wonders on dry skin. I use it to remove make up. Since it's pure (perhaps not extra virgin but definitely safe to consume) I believe it's better than anything artificial or chemical
I am 57. Live in MN. So spend most of my yr in extreme cold. My skin is very fair and sensitive. I find grapeseed oil to work so nicely to remove my make up before bed.
Fun fact you can use vaseline to remove makeup if you are traveling with makeup but not having a cleansing balm/oil you can use vaseline to removed it
@@Style_224 anything oily will do. Vaseline is easy to find
I concur and also like castor oil as well.
Some dermatologist have mentioned that Olive oil isn't great topically and to use other oils instead. (Ingested, it's still like the best.)
I've been in the skin field possibly longer then you and I just want to thank you for knowing your stuff.
I’ve been using it on my face for about 25 years. I love it.
Im glad i watched until the end! Im almost 56 and still have oily skin and suffer with milia
When I was a teen, I would message in Pond’s Dry Skin Cream on my face at night. Felt so good and very moisturizing.
My grandmother swore by it and put it on my face when I stayed over and I loved it
Great video! My skin feels better with grease on it! At night I cleanse mostly with water, spray with rose water, then use an oil combo of coconut & castor oils, Aquaphor or a commercially sold beef tallow.
Use Vaseline during snow months; it helps tremendously and holds my serums in. Works for me! I’m 39, have 0 wrinkles and never had work done
I’ll try it out for a few weeks and see how I do with an update, maybe I got it all backwards. You can see how it can turn people off, but I see how it can be misrepresented in the media. I’ll check back in. ☺️ Also great it isn’t acne causing… I’m excited to see how it works. Very informative.
Actually this is proven to be true for my skin, I have dry-combination skin. I religiously applied castor oil/vaseline on my lashes & brows, the oil would dissipate to the rest of the thin skin surrounding my eyes, I massage my eyes every night in circular upward motions, miraculously, now 38, I don't have a single wrinkle anywhere on the eyes. It also helps with my dark circles and I have none. I have never bought an eye cream because I don't need to. I just need my oil & vaseline 😻😻💯
R u using castor oil n vasline together or alternative day plz reply
@@hafsakhan8243 I use castor oil on most days and vaseline alternately! But never use together it will be too oily and could cause irritations
I have been treating my skin with Vaseline since 13. Love it
As a vegan, I see that I can't use Aquaphor - but thanks for the heads up on vaseline! Years ago I would use a thin layer of it for very dry skin. I'm going to try that again at night as you suggest. Thank you, Dr. Rajani!
You are so welcome! Enjoy and congratulations on your journey
I prefer lanolin then petroleum jelly
@rajanimdskincare Is Cerave healing ointment good to use on the face? Thank you Doctor💙
I am also vegan and will not use animals on my face. I’m wondering if castor oil works as well?
Lavender oil is also good for smoothing out wrinkles and you get a good sleep with it to
we used to do paraffin wax masks for face, hands and feet. Skin was always fresh and smooth afterwards. They don't seem to be used by beauty therapists anymore despite being a simple and luxurious treatment but the petrolrum aspect seems to have a negative connotation these days
Cancer is the negative part
How u do paraffin wax mask. Could u tell me the process
Im curious too. Please share.
Just my personal experience:
I’m very oily skin and love to put vaseline on my face & whole body. It’s great to do after a shower when your body is still wet and the skin is warm, as i find it’s very easy to massage in very little product, and it’s very effective imo. I don’t know about slathering it on but for thin layers it works a treat!
It also makes a great replacement for mascara if youre a wizard with an eyelash curler. 😄
Warning: when i was younger and was very acne prone i would wash and medicate my skin so much to the point of dehydrating my face, yet the oils would ooze even worse from my skin. (Gross, right?!) My face looked like oily crepe paper. But a few days of Vaseline always helped to restore the balance, allow my skin cells water layer to replenish and slow the oiliness down.
Thanks @Oaktreealley. I very much appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. It helps all of us learn.
My mom swore by it 40 years ago. I have used it for years to give my face a break from retin A . It’s the only thing that works on dry heels
I did my eyeliners and lipliners into Vaseline before use. It helps my liners glide on, with dragging my skin.
I use coconut oil with my makeup but it soaks in so fast and i like that shinny look Im going to try this!
