Skin Care Review: Vasoline petroleum Jelly

by Deb Kes, anna, IL, USA

Rating
Excellent

Benefits
Locks in moisture in your skin and staves off wrinkles.

Drawbacks
Feels greasy and looks shiney if you don't dab off the excess.

Details
I have used Vasoline Petroleum Jelly on my face since I was 21. I am now 51 and people tell me all the time that I don't look it. But if you look at my face and my forehead, you will see the difference. I never put it on my forehead because of my bangs, and my forhead looks 51! My face has very faint rinkles compared to my forehead. I use ONLY Vasoline brand as other brands feel sticky to me. I have been told by others to stop using it since it is a petroleum product, but it hasn't hurt me yet. So why quit a good thing? I have saved many dollars because I never buy anything else for my skin. I also never use foundation or any other make-up because I don't have to. I wish I could tell you how many complements I get on my complection. It's the first thing people say to me when I meet them. I always wash with a real hot, wet washcloth. Then I apply vasoline and massage the places that are most likely to get wrinkles, 100 counts. This brings blood to the surface. Then I dab with a cold, wet washcloth to close the pores and lock in the moisture, and remove any excess Vasoline. This has worked for me for 30 years! It has never clogged my pores if I clean my face real well first with hot water. I have been told to never use hot water on my face, but... it brings blood to the surface, which nurishes the skin. For me, the hotter the better. I never use cleaning products, make-up, or anything else! Try it!

Conclusions
I know everyones' skin is different, but this has sure worked for me, inexpensive, also.
