anti-bacterial stuff and creates a barrier between your skin and environment.
So, skin gets infected less when you are habituated to use Vaseline. You can
use this super hack for your beauty and skin care. You can use it to remove
your nail polish to moisten your feet.
Anyway, today I will show you some ways how you can
use Vaseline petroleum jelly on your face, skin and other beauty purposes. It
will keep your facial skin smooth, young, healthy and protect the elements to
cause any drawbacks on the facial areas.
Uses Of Vaseline Petroleum Jelly for Face and Skin
1. To Make the Face Smooth
The skin loses its protective barrier when the
upper layer of the skin gets itchy, chapped or dry. The skin of the face is
very thin. It becomes infected, sensitive and cracked easily by the rough
elements.
In this case, you can use petroleum jelly. It is
noncomedogenic, hypoallergenic, non-irritating, non-sensational, and not added
any fragrance or colors. Everyone from babies to adults can use Vaseline to
heal the dry skin. It also protects the skin from the future damage. The best
time to use it after taking shower when your skin is damp or heading to bed at
night.
2. To Moisturize the Face
When people become aged, the skin also gets thinner
and drier prone. Today, most of the people use commercial products that are
costly and made with sometimes chemicals. So, those products may trigger the
dryness more. The face skin gets flaky, dry, peeling and sore. It needs a
reliable soothing.
Besides, in winter the face skin becomes dry,
chapped, chilly and cracked. It needs an intensive care of moisture to protect
the dry air of the winter.
In this case, you can use Vaseline petroleum jelly
as a daily moisturizer for your face. It not only moistens your face but
also makes the fine lines, wrinkles or other aging signs less noticeable. You
can massage your face with Vaseline before going to sleep at night.
3. To Treat Minor Wounds
The studies show that antibacterial ointment can
speed up the healing of the minor cuts, scarring or wounds. But, when the cuts
or wounds are open to the air, they become dry and it takes much time to
cure those cuts.
Vaseline petroleum jelly can work like an
antibacterial element. So, you can use it for the minor wounds of your face or
other skin of the body. Vaseline moistens the cuts and heals them from inside
of the skin. Vaseline also minimizes the infections and reduces the inflammation.
Just simply cover up the scarring or cuts with Vaseline.
4. To Clean Up the Pores
Many think that Vaseline petroleum jelly helps to
clog pores. But, it is not true. The pores are generally clogged when you do
not cleanse your makeup before taking rest at night. The pores are also clogged
if you do not wash your face timely and perfectly.
Vaseline jelly is thick and feels very soft. It
enters into the skin and makes it smooth. Besides, if you have the habit of
using Vaseline after washing your face, you have less probability of facing
clogged pores. It keeps the pores clean. After every wash off your face,
massage your face with Vaseline.
5. To Prevent Acne on the Face
Though Vaseline jelly does not treat acne or
pimples directly, it helps to prevent the breakouts of acne. Vaseline creates a
barrier on the skin and thus the pores do not get infected by dirt, impurities
or other pollutants. It helps to regenerate the newer cells by sloughing off
the dead skin cells.
Thus, you can feel the tender skin always. Vaseline
protects the bacteria and makes the overall skin healthy and supple. After the shower,
massage your skin with Vaseline if your skin is dry prone or it is winter.
6. To Heal Chapped Lips
I personally use Vaseline to soften my dry lips in
winter. The dry air of winter takes out the moisture from the lip skin and thus
the lips become cracked or dry. Sometimes, dryness can cause bleeding from the
lips. Even, you may face sore lips if you do not treat dry lips.
Vaseline can be a heavy bang to speed up the
healing process of your chapped lips. Simply, apply some Vaseline petroleum
jelly on the lips thickly. In the morning, rub the lips with the fingers. It
will remit off the dead dull cells and unlocks the newer cells. In the daytime,
apply Vaseline on the lips several times. It will keep the lips
moisturized.
You can exfoliate your dry lips with Vaseline and
sea salt. Mix some Vaseline jelly with some sea salt and scrub your lips with
it for one minute. It will remove the dry skin cells and hydrates the lips.
7. To Remove Makeup
It is a nice hack to remove your face makeup, eye
makeup or lipstick color with Vaseline petroleum jelly. Sometimes, using baby
oil, shampoo or makeup cleansers are irritating, boring or allergic to the
delicate skin of the face, eye, and lips. Coat your lips with some Vaseline for
a few minutes. Then use your finger or a soft toothbrush to rub the lips. And
see the lipstick stain get erased easily.
Similarly, apply Vaseline on the checks thickly and
wait for a minute. Then use a tissue paper to sweep off the skin. Thus, you can
also remove the eye makeup with Vaseline jelly. Then cleanse your skin with
water and finally moisturize your skin with your favorite cream.
8. To Minimize Wrinkles
Do you know that Vaseline jelly helps to reduce
the wrinkles and also protect the fine lines earlier? It is simple to
build up aging signs when people get older. Vaseline is an anti-aging and
anti-bacterial ointment. It prohibits the growth of bacteria and aging lines on
the skin.
Wash your face before sleeping, and dab some Vaseline on the damp
face. It will moisturize the skin deeply and plump up the skin. In the morning,
you will see the lines are minimized.
9. As A Night Cream
It maybe seems to you that it is nasty and greasy
on the skin but I like this greasy kit more in the night. I use it instead of
my night cream. Slather some Vaseline under or around the eyes and all over the
face evenly. It will soften my skin, open up the pores and evens out the
wrinkles when I wash my face in the morning. This is really amazing to me.
Vaseline is not a moisturizer. It just creates a
barrier to protect the skin from dryness or other harsh feelings. It also
repairs the skin and night is the best time to heal the skin. So, I stick to it
at night to let my skin repaired. You can do it. I also apply some Vaseline to
my eyelashes. It thickens and darkens them.
10. Treats Minor Burns, Bug Bites, Etc.
Minor bug bites or burns can be released with a
simple application of Vaseline. It soothes the skin and gives you comfort. It
keeps the burns soft and repairs it inside. You don’t feel any pain or
tightness. You can mix a little bit of Vaseline with a teaspoon of aloe Vera
gel and apply it to the burns. It will relieve the pain within seconds.
11. Rejuvenates the Dull Skin
Your face looks beautiful when the skin is healthy
and supple. Our face skin is the most open space of our body. No matter what
the season is winter or summer, all the time it is exposed to outsiders? So,
the face easily gets dull and lifeless with dryness, dead skin cells, dirt,
excess oil or other impurities.
After coming home, dab some Vaseline petroleum
jelly on your face after cleansing. And take some rest and feel your skin is
becoming calmed down, getting back alive, and slowly give you feedback with a
super soft and smooth touchable skin. Even you can use this stuff to your sensitive
skin like lips or around the eyes.
12. Removes Flaky Skin
While your face is the main weapon to kill your
partner, it is also always closed to the environments as we do not cover up our
face like our body. And winter is a close enemy for our skin. The cold weather
of winter first attracts the facial skin. The facial skin is finer and very
subtle so that it gets chapped, peeling, cracked and flaky easily. And ultimate
dryness grows lots of dead skin cells.
Use Vaseline petroleum jelly on the face to wipe
away those dead skin cells. Apply some Vaseline evenly on the face and rub it
softly with fingers in the circular motions for 2 minutes. Then rinse off your
face and see the rubbish is gone away. Just enjoy clean smooth glowing face.
Soothes Rashes
You may face rashes on your face for various
reasons like sun rays or give much time to the pool, sea or water. Vaseline
petroleum jelly is non-irritating, hypoallergenic and triple-purified. It can
create a continuous film against the wetness and thus protect the skin.
Use some
Vaseline on the face evenly before hitting in the pool or water. Apply it a
little bit to the rashes and will lock the skin in moisture.
You can also use Vaseline petroleum jelly for the
diaper rashes of the babies. It will prevent rashes, wetness, and irritation
from the diaper put on.
