My dear grandma, who trained as a beautician in the 1930’s, would remove her makeup every evening with Vaseline and then add another layer as her nighttime moisturizer. As a teen in the early 90’s who was fully on the “oil-free” train I thought she was insane. But I was stripping my skin with foaming cleansers and saturating it with alcohol toners and wondering why I still had zits! She lived to 95 and had beautiful, supple skin until the end. Grandma knew a thing or two after all!
Did she use a cleanser to remove her makeup 💄? Then go in with the Vaseline every night? Or, just use Vaseline all the time instead of a cleanser? Thank you in advance.
Yaasss!!! I was a teenager in the 90's as well and Vaseline was deemed the worst! I was on the Sea Breeze train as well and had horrible dried out acne skin. My mom swore by Vaseline on our diaper areas when we were babies and there was always a jar in the house growing up. I am so glad that I know the errors of my youth. I had no idea all the uses until Dr. Dray came onto my scene.
I, too, was a teenager in the 90s! If a product had a speck of oil, or if the ingredients list contained something that was deemed to be a comedogenic ingredient, I did not go near it! But if it had alcohol, no problem! 🤣Skip ahead to 2023, and I am 45 and slather my self in creams, oils, and occlusives every night!
@@babyprecious9147 No, she used the Vaseline like an oil cleanser. From what I recall she applied the Vaseline onto dry skin like a balm cleanser and then removed it with cotton balls, in the same way that women used to cleanse with cold cream. She may have followed up by rinsing her face with warm water, but I honestly don’t remember that part. She was a fastidiously clean woman though, so she wouldn’t have done it if it left any grime or residue.
My HANDS have been a concern, with the skin being practically translucent and the veins becoming visible. Hand lotions alone, did nothing. Then, after hearing this, I got some Vaseline and put that on my hands AFTER, the skin cream. Well, I’m happy to say that after a week of doing this, my hands are finally in better shape. Thicker skin that is not as translucent, and veins not visible. I’m very glad about this.
When growing up in Finland my mother used to put Vaseline on our faces before going out into the winter to play all day. Preventing us from wind , cold and possibly frost bite.
Same here in Montreal, Canada! I had 3 very blonde boys who got frost-bitten cheeks and never thought of applying anything but vaseline to their cheeks when they played outside in the winter - just like my mother did for me some 70 odd years ago!
I’ve been using Vaseline around my eyes for 45 years to treat the dryness on the skin of my eyelids and under my eyes. I started using it as a teenager, and it’s the longest skincare regime I have used, and I am 60 years old. I highly recommend using Vaseline than wasting money on high end and expensive eye creams.
I started using vaseline for few months ,but after I started getting small little pimple on my eyelids I just stopped using it . I have very sensitive and combination skin ,so I know now I can't use Vaseline. I try on my face because, and I got pimples the next day
@@eileendapaletemps3548it takes a few weeks for a pimple to come to the surface of your skin. Most likely you were going to get the pimple anyway….just a coincidence. My under eyes are sensitive too. I can not use eye serums, it will cause irritation. I can use Vaseline tho…
I struggled with horrible dry eyelids and under eyes for several months. Could not get it to go away for anything. After reading your comment I tried Vaseline and it completely fixed it. Thank you!!!
On the way to work before the sun rose, my Mom tripped over a broken parking lot bumper. She cracked open the nose skin big time & was bleeding profusely. She went home, washed, packed it with Vaseline & bandaged it. Called me afterwards. We waited hours in ER. Dr looked at it, re-bandaged it & said she had done a spectacular job. It was already healing! Didn't need stitches! And she was left only with a minor scar.
We have been bamboozled by nutrition and skincare. Eat the eggs, use Vaseline. So simple and effective. My grandmother used to slightly heat it in a small dedicated pot just for Vaseline to warm it up and thin it out. She then applied it warm to her face. EVERY NIGHT.
My best friend's mother used vaseline on her face every night and at 86 she had no wrinkles whatsoever. Her skin looked amazing. So yes it does work miracles.
@@repentjesusiscomingsoon1529 Maybe, apply after washing your face so it will absorb easier. If you apply with dry skin most likely won't absorb as good. Hope it works!
My husband and I are in our 20's and slugging now thanks to these videos about vaseline. Based on these comments about people's grandparents having amazing skin due to years of vaseline usage, I'm so glad I'm doing it before I hit my 30's!
My daughter, at age seven, had horrible cracks in the bottom of her feet. Sometimes they would bleed. The doctor suggested a prescription cream that didn't work and then another cream. Both of them came in a tube only slightly larger than my baby finger and both cost close to $50. Neither helped and so in desperation I slathered her feet with Vaseline, put cotton socks on her and sent her to bed. In the morning there was a great improvement. By the end of the week her feet were totally healed. I also found it to be a great treatment for diaper rash (back in the day before disposables.) The Vaseline provided a moisture barrier and cleared up the problem.
I LOOOVE using vaseline on my face😍I slather my entire face with it before going to sleep and I wake up with the softest skin✨vaseline has done more for my skin than all these overhypes overpriced products out there
Me too. Learned from previous videos from Dr. Dray, so doing it for over one year now. Also use on my neck, shoulders and chest. Just wish I had learned it sooner.
I'm 72. I've been using Vaseline since I was a child and my Mom would apply it to my hands and elbows and feet after bathing me. Now I use it around my eyes at night (I also use a tretinoin cream but NEVER under Vaseline) and on my cuticles and occasionally all over my face. I have also been using it to get stubborn mascara and mineral sunscreen off before washing my face at night. People say I have beautiful skin for an old lady. I occasionally use the Aquaphor or Cerave healing ointments but just plain old cheap Vaseline works for me.
@@jamierogers4530It is Retin A use to prevent wrinkles watch Dr Drays videos about it. I am 76 and look 60...not my opinion my dermatologist's. I have used it for decades. LOVE it and low cost compared to cosmetic treatments. Im going to start slugging with vaseline from time to time but I Wont change from my nighttime RetinA/ Tretinoen.
72 is young!! I love Vaseline. I would coat my feet in it then wrap my feet in plastic wrap and put on socks! I've got great young looking feet. I do this twice a month. Got baby soft feet!
I grew up in the 50's and it was either Vaseline or Noxema as far as skincare goes. Also we weren't into washing your face with chemical strippers - plain soap and water. I now have exzema on my face and when it was diagnosed the doctor told me to wash my face and slather on vaseline. It works like a charm!
I have been using Vaseline to my under eye area for years which has helped me to have decreased lines. So listening to you tonight 11/1/2023 is confirming. Also, I am happy to know that I can use it after my skincare at night. Yes, it does help in healing the skin if irritated. I normally go back and forth between Olive Oil/Vaseline for irritation to skin. Now after watching your video I am more comfortable to continue its use. Thank you very much.
@@pansywalker9017 I don't truly believe that it's a medical condition but just my opinion. When we block the skin cells, which need oxygen for optimal health, it doesn't allow the natural exfoliation of the skin cells to turn over. So we keep occluding and congesting the skin cells with petroleum and silicone, among other film forming agents.
@@holisticstarhealing8673 I totally understand, but you have to wash face daily for cleansing. I have not experienced that condition thank God. I have been exfoliating mechanically three times per week to promote cell turnover for years. My basic care was cleanse, witch hazel astringent, exfoliate and moisturize with weekly mask of egg, milk and honey. I also steamed my face with chamomile tea first before masking. Plus I drink 10-12 glasses of water 💧 per day. I never used sunscreen, but now I do. I’ve been living in Florida for over 30 years and the sun’s heat has definitely changed. Overall, a healthy lifestyle is key to good skin.
I used to snob Vaseline, until I gave my face a chemical burn from using skin products incorrectly. It was taking weeks to heal and was a flakey and inflamed. I looked up how to treat a chemical burn and Vaseline was suggested. After 3 days my burn was almost healed. I’m still in shock. It will forever be part of my skin care regimen ❤ sorry for judging you mom😂
Great info. I’m a big fan of Vaseline. When I was a swim instructor and we were in the pool 4-6 hours a day, I covered my body in Vaseline because it protected me from the chlorine and from drying my skin out
@@mysmirandam.6618 she's like 42 but in her vlogs she looks about 30!!! It's not just about looks either overall skin health is more important than physical appearance! her skin looks very very healthy
Several years ago I had huge areas of dermatitis on my face caused from using some essential oils as skin care🙄. At the time I was clueless as to what the oils were actually doing to my skin. The dermatologist had me use Vaseline exclusively on my face for two weeks. He told me to put some Vaseline in my hand with a few drops of water & make a sort of cream & rub it in the the skin. I was horrified! He calmed me down & said many of his patients used it as skin care & had done so for years. The dermatitis cleared & my skin looked great!!
Thank you for this tip! I’m experiencing an allergic reaction to a sunscreen and my face has been itchy for over a week, and I’ve tried so many “remedies”. I’m going to try Vaseline.
My sister was just in town with a purse full of essential oils and crystals 🤦♀️ she insisted on rubbing my dads feet with lavender oil. I said that’s incredibly irritating and she looked at me like I’m an idiot and said “it’s fine if it’s mixed with an emollient”. She dropped it into a handful of lotion and went to town on my poor pops. This “natural” craze needs to stop.
My mom used Vasoline every night on her face for decades and she always had soft skin well into her 80s. I have started using it as an eye cream at night. Love it!! Works as good if not better than those high priced designer eye creams. Thanks mom💗.
I agree. Her skin is more even and she finally got her eyebrows done right. No sharp edge in the arch, although I think they are too long at ends. But what a difference. Lovely.
I was really struggling with the chlorine in the pool this summer. I took your advice about applying it before swimming and it’s made a huge difference, especially around my eyes. Thank you for all of the science based, practical information you provide!
I use either Vaseline or Aquafor every night on my lips and hands. Also use it on my feet under socks when the weather cools down. It's great for softening feet.
Worked in a nursing home & one of my patients had the most beautiful skin. She told me she used Noxzema to cleanse her skin and vaseline for moisture since 1920s. She died in 2000 and I promise you not one wrinkle. Smooth, luscious skin. That was enough for me. I buy whichever brand is on sale lol I do like "nursery/ baby scent". I used it pretty much all over my body. It's good stuff, never did me wrong.
Vaseline was the only thing my Grandmother used on her face at night. I remember being very young and thinking she was crazy because her skin looked so greasy at night before bed. Needless to say she knew something we all did not. She lived to be 87 and her skin was flawless, she had a few wrinkles around her eyes but not many at all. I remember when I was in my 20's looking at her skin and how flawless and smooth it was. I always thought it would clog my pores because I suffered with acne for years and years. Today, I am 56 and honestly after watching this video thinking about going back to vaseline just like Grandmom. I too read many things that scared me away from Vaseline during the years. Thank you Dr. Dray for having the courage and wisdom to bring this back to us.
As a young teenager in the 60's I have used petroleum jelly as my main stay. This normally horrified women in my life when they learned this about me. I just attended my 50-year class reunion, I look fabulous and decades younger than my peers because of using the vasoline ;)
I used Vaseline regularly on my daughter’s bottom and she never had issues and a very happy baby. Also, have used for myself to remove eye makeup gently. I will always remember someone complaining about makeup they loved but it was impossible to remove. I said to try Vaseline, she thought I was crazy (back in the 90’s). Well she gave it a try and she was amazed and thought I was so knowledgeable!
Instead of mascara on some days, I appy vaseline lightly to my lashes and curl my lashes......they stay curled all day. I use it as a moisturizer especially in the cold climate winters....works perfectly!
When my nostrils are dry, cracked, and/or bleeding from having the heat on during winter, I swab a small amount of vaseline inside my nostrils to restore moisture. It’s very soothing!
Just got out of bed and slapped some Vaseline on my skin 😂 I used to always put this under my eyes and am glad this video gave me more information about Vaseline and the advantages it has!!! Literally something so simple does wonders. Thank you Dr. Dray!! In Dr. Dray we trust 👏
My grandmother and her 6 sisters all born in from the 1920’s-1920’s, smeared Vaseline on their faces religiously, nightly. All lived well into their 80’s and had smooth, beautiful skin. They also avoided the sun with long sleeves, hats, gloves, etc.
Dr. Dre! I have been using Vaseline on my face, especially around my eyes and lips for 60 years! I cannot go to bed without it... You look so nice today!
I use Vaseline on my feet with socks, it’s wonderful. Name brand or generic doesn’t matter to me. My grandmother swore by Vaseline for many things and always used it on her face, she passed at 92 and of course she had wrinkles but her skin was super soft, clear and had a beautiful vibrancy to it.
I have used Vaseline on my face daily for over 35 years. I have painful eczema and it is the only thing I have found to comfort my skin. The bonus for me is it's unscented.
I am loving your switch to playing with more color. Both as fashion and home decor. Loved your serious neutral looks with grey and navy but seeing more pops of color like orange has been a bright and cheery look. It's great to see more of your creativity with color.
My skin has always been really oily and I tried to follow the "use a lightweight/gel/foam moisturizer" advice. The thing that genuinely helped my skin get to more balanced state was to use a super occlusive moisturizer/slug at night. Did it feel heavy? Yes. Did I wake up in the morning as a greaseball for a while? Also yes. But then my skin stopped being sensitive and oily during the day.
Yes! Me too! I've always been very oily. Now that I use occlusives like triple paste or Vaseline a few nights a week, I'm less oily throughout the day. I think my skin was over "making oil" because I was actually dry. Not sure but I'm happy I figured it out.
All I know is my 104 year old Uncle used Vaseline on his face his whole adult life -- even as a pro golfer, who was out in the sun daily -- he had, to the very end, absolutely smooth, wrinkle free facial skin. It was so astonishing that a lot of people insisted he had to have had multiple face lifts. Nope, just Vaseline. I am a believer from empirical evidence. I use name brand Vaseline to remove eye makeup, and have done that for decades. Thanks for this!
I am so glad that Dr. Dray did a video on this. I watch a skincare YTuber(not a doctor) video that warned people not to use Vaseline because it is harmful being derived from petroleum. Greatful to get information from Dr. Dray.
This is good information. Was told Vaseline is not good for the skin because of the carcinogenic properties. However, my sister and I always love how vaseline hydrates the skin. Now that we know that the carcinogen contaminates with Vaseline usage is a myth we feel relieved thanks to you Dr. Dray.
In my family, we used vaseline always. I still do. It is cheap and it works so much better than alot of face creams and moisturizers out on the market. I use it to remove left over make up and I use it as a moisturizer. Im 54, no complaints here.
Hi, how do you cleanse your face in the morning? I don't use a cleanser in the morning, and if I put Vaseline at night, I feel like I have to use a cleanser to wash it off.
@@mochispacesI literally just splash plain water on my face in the morning, mostly to make sure I don't have any sleep crud in my eyes. Don't need to "cleanse", just water is fine. If you use too much Vaseline, a hot wet washcloth pressed on your face will help. Don't need soap or cleanser.
I’ve used it my entire 60 yr old life with severe eczema issues. It helps seal in water after bathing and It was so soothing for burning and dryness. I Also used it for diaper rash, abrasions and cuts which helped immediately with stinging.
Years ago my dermatologist gave me a little sample of an ointment to use on my face following having some "stuff" frozen off. I asked if I could buy it anywhere, and she said, "Yeah it's vaseline". I've been given that same little packet to use on areas following surgical incisions, and for healing scrapes. I love the Aquaphore Healing version and use it everywhere but always lips and hands at night and throughout the day. Thanks for reinforcing and reminding me. Love!
I used to get compliments on my young looking skin up to 72. Didn’t use Vaseline but other market items. Now I am 75 and my skin is dry, more notable wrinkles, bags under the eyes. I read several comments of the wonders of Vaseline, as well as your video, I’m starting the Vaseline skin care!
I use PONDS and I believe it has Vaseline. It was recommended to me from a 89 year old lady, who had beautiful skin , who used it for years. I Find it helps my combo skin (to clean it without stripping thev moisture).
I was hesitant when my PCP told me to use Vaseline for my itchy dry skin. But once I tried it I liked it much better than creams & lotions which now seem cold & sticky to me. Applied thinly, Vaseline is more comfortable. Doesn't drip. A little goes a long ways. I apply it to wet skin after bathing - just a little blob per arm or leg can be very quickly spread thin over wet skin.
Thank you dr. Dray for de-stigmatizing Vaseline AKA petroleum jelly for me. I have been a big fan of it for about a year now but before that, I thought I would immediately break out if I ever even touched it. You have helped so many people with their skin and with saving money, thank you for all that you do!
I used Vaseline for slugging last year and my skin was glowing, not sure why I stopped but decided to start again and then you put out this video! Thank you Dr. Dray!
I just started using Vaseline because of your videos. Applying a small amount on my face before bed is a lifesaver for my dry, dehydrated skin. I also like applying it all over the eye area during the day, as well as on my lips. I usually buy brand name, because it's the same or similar price as the off brands are where I am and much more common. I can find a tub of Vaseline at almost every store here lol.
I use it around my eyes and on my lips every night. Really great - completely eliminates the pesky dry spots on the inside of my eyebrows. Would not be without it. ❤
I have acne prone skin and have used Vaseline on my face (on top of my moisturizer) at night for a couple of months now, thanks to you. I LOVE it. I’ve noticed my skin being highly hydrated.
@@Name.......... I did, but I'm still pretty wary about putting something so thick on my face. And it would feel very uncomfortable and heavy on oily skin.
I know it's gross, but in winter, the air gets so dry that I wake up with a bloody nose almost every day. I use a slight coating of Vaseline on the inside of my nose at night and it keeps it from drying out overnight. I always hoped it was safe to use this way and now I feel much more assured. Thank you.
This, while into making natural skincare and makeup i came across people who hated “chemicals” and hated vaseline. I had a moment where i started believing that vaseline is bad but couldn’t justify hate around chemicals bcoz it all depends what it is and how you use. Came across a mum with kids who had very sensitive skin and were allergic to anything natural too and the only thing they could use were petroleum jelly wraps for skin moisture and some medicated creams. I did research on vaseline and realised its not an evil and isnt bad for environment too bcoz its a by product and not the main thing for which crude oil is mined.
The ”natural” hype has been driving me crazy because I keep having reactions to most natural oils. It makes is so hard to find skincare! Thank god for petrolatum and ingredients like it, or I wouldn’t be able to do anything with my skin. There are so few ingredients out there that I can safely use.
I am 71, and I've used both V Brand and store brands, and both seem to work the same. When I lightly pat on my face at night, after cleansing, my whole face looks so nice and smooth in the morning. Better than using any other moisturizer. I also like to rub a tiny bit between my fingers and gently, lightly pat it over my freshly done total makeup routine. It makes my face glow and show less wrinkles or lines. Kind of keeps it fresh. I also pat a bit over lip edges.
I do this too but just on the top of my cheekbones / undereye transition area I rub a small dab into my palm and pick it up with my beauty blender and tap it gently on there
Vaseline was a staple in our medicine cabinet when I was growing up. We used it for everything... minor cuts and burns, rashes, dry skin, sunburn, chapped skin etc. These days, I always have a container in my home but don't use it quite as much as when I was a child. I've never tried it for slugging. It's very humid where I live so I can't imagine slathering my face with it. Happy Thursday, Dr Dray! I hope you have a peaceful evening. 💗
I started using Vaseline on my face when I was in high school and it cleared my acne tremendously! I also have really dry skin and it helped with that too!
Do you have to use it everyday to help with dry skin ? I’m looking for something to help dry skin that I don’t have to put on my face everyday but I’m not sure if there is such a thing lol
@Jack_99DE I used to do it every day, but honestly, every other day works fine too :) I would lather it on my face and wear it overnight. Then when I wake up, I'd shower and wipe it off and my face would be moisturized :)
I went to Japan in Feburary but I was having Rosacea at the time. I already went to the dermatologist and got my medicine. However Japan was cold outside but it's so hot inside. And that made my face started to peel... Then Vaseline saved me. The cheapest skincare product I brought with me!😊
@@lorijean1487 No not really! But I now only use it on my lips and around my noses because I always apply Differin every night before bed... And I'm usually a back sleeper (which is better for your skin according to Dr Dray!). Perhaps when you have to apply Vaseline on your face, but you don't want it to stain your clothes, you can put a face masks on? Or a little bit of mineral powder on the top of Vaseline?
@@lorijean1487 I should imagine that only happens if you have put to much Vaseline on your skin and not rub it in enough, you need to try again, and use less of it.
I’ve been using Vaseline for years on the fine lines under my eyes & on my forehead to reduce wrinkles & it helps. It seems to lock moisture in & smooth out wrinkles. It works way better than hyaluronic serums, & cheaper!
I have used Vaseline, currently Cerave Brand Ointment, on my lips when I go to bed. I also use, this along with Abreva, when I have cracked corners on my mouth from open mouth sleeping. Helps with soothing and helping. I've used Vaseline on the soles of my feet, then covered with socks, before bed. Helps to keep my feet moisturized. Since diabetes runs in my family, I'm trying to take care of my feet so they can still heal well.
I use Vaseline on my lips and the corners of my mouth and on my chin, before I start flossing and brushing! It works amazingly, i stopped having sore / irritated lip corners and pimples from drying dental products.
My mother always had very sensitive skin. She used petroleum because the doctor recommended it. She lived to 92 with beautiful skin, smooth and wrinkle free.
I wont ever let myself run out of vaseline. I use it for so many things in my beauty routine from using it as a lip balm to slugging to protecting my skin when dying my hair or painting my nail and more
I don’t typically slug, but I do when I’m headed outside on dry cold winter days (mountains may be snowy but the air is super dry) or even headed on a flight. Works beautifully so I don’t get indoors after a long day outside or off the plane with dry, itchy, irritated skin.
Even the dermatologist asked what I use on my skin…. Have used it forever, even though some said it would clog pores. I am 73 and get compliments alllllll the time!
This really helps my eye dermatitis when it flares up, over the top of my light eye cream to seal all the moisture in. Every morning and night! It's also really great for when my eyes water profusely, in the outer corners, stops the skin splitting. ❤
What dermatitis, and does it still help? I read too much about peri(orbital)oral dermatitis, and that vaseline can be one of causes :( On the other hand, some derms recommend vaseline when someone deals with perioral dermatitis. Dealing with some dryness and irritation around eyes lately, and I'm just afraid that vaseline will trigger perioral dermatitis. On the other hand, not acting fast to heal the barrier can cause it too... ahhh decisions, decisions.
I been using Vaseline for 40 years and my skin has soft and it has help my skin look youthful. I heard so many skincare representatives telk me that i should not be using vaseline ? Actually a cosmetic injector recently ask me how i get soft skin..when i said Vaseline..she said..yes i heard that it is wonderful...but was surprised how a cheap product can do so much!! .i feel people are brainwash to think you need expensive products to actually make a difference in yoir skin..even ceravie or Cetaphil doesnt compare to Vaseline
I have meiboman gland dysfunction resulting in pretty uncomfortable dry eye and blepharitis. Applying vaseline around my lashline has been a lifesaver for significantly reducing the irritation and redness.
I've used Vaseline on my face since I was 11! I am 62 now and people think I'm much younger! I love love it!!!! My girlfriends would make fun of me at slumber parties because I would smear it all over my face! I still do, and love it!!! Every night I take off my makeup, wash my face with a warm washcloth, then smear it on my face, neck, hands, nails, and feet. If you put it on clean feet and put on cotton socks for the night, you wake up to great feet!!! I get compliments on my skin all the time! Love it!! Thanks for this, it was nice to hear someone say it was good for you. I always knew it was!
Thanks for putting this out Dr D. Yes, agree; after my extensive MOH’s surgery for basal cell carcinoma, my plastic surgeon advised Vaseline be applied to the area across the affected side of my face. I’ve now been using it daily for months on all my face. Excellent product and so inexpensive.
@@maggie_codes wishing you the very best. I also use Eucerin Aquaphor which works well especially when you follow the medical advice on post surgical massaging.
I tried to stop a dog fight (don’t try it; consider using a fire extinguisher or throw a heavy blanket on them instead to try to break it up) and got bit in my wrist which landed me in the ER. I got an oral antibiotic, but my follow up visits to the doctor suggested I use petroleum jelly on my wounds once they closed up. I was using a topical antibiotic because I wanted to keep the scars moisturized so they heal better, but she told me to use Vaseline instead.
Love this video! About a week and a half ago, I had a moderate skin reaction to, what I believe, a makeup wipe. I woke up swollen and beet red. I stopped all skincare and used a mild cleanser, mild M moisturizer, and topped off with lots of vaseline. Some some mornings I only splashed my face with water and reapplied vaseline. After a week, it was soooo much better, and as of today, completely gone. Being a combo oily acne prone gal, I never believed I could "slog," but I'm hooked!
I am 68 years old (aging,dryness, wrinkles), and I fight rosacea. I've been using Vaseline to remove my eye makeup. It's cost friendly ( I'm on social security ), and I find it effective.
Good morning!!! I personally use this for my lips and I use it on my eczema flare ups. Also in areas that just get extra dry. It’s great! Bc of my very very sensitive skin, I don’t where face make up except blush or bronzer. I started using it on my son too. It works so well.
Use on feet when wearing new shoes! Or running. Helps with friction. Always bring small box of Vaseline when I travel and I know I'm going to walk a lot

Did she use a cleanser to remove her makeup 💄? Then go in with the Vaseline every night? Or, just use Vaseline all the time instead of a cleanser? Thank you in advance.
My mom used Preparation H because it softened like Vaseline but it would help shrink her pores, too. It smelled bad but worked.

Good to hear that it’s working out for you. Thanks for sharing. ❤
When growing up in Finland my mother used to put Vaseline on our faces before going out into the winter to play all day.
Preventing us from wind , cold and possibly frost bite.
Same here when growing up in the North in the United States.
Same
same here in Minnesota~ and greased our wrists and ankles so you never got that ice/snow rash where your mittens or boots end.
Same here in Montreal, Canada! I had 3 very blonde boys who got frost-bitten cheeks and never thought of applying anything but vaseline to their cheeks when they played outside in the winter - just like my mother did for me some 70 odd years ago!
That's smart, as a protective agent I think it's fine.
A dermatologist many years ago told me to use Vaseline. He was over 60 at the time with no wrinkles
Probably he had botox

I’ve been using Vaseline around my eyes for 45 years to treat the dryness on the skin of my eyelids and under my eyes. I started using it as a teenager, and it’s the longest skincare regime I have used, and I am 60 years old.
I highly recommend using Vaseline than wasting money on high end and expensive eye creams.
I stopped using Vasaline because I was told Vasalie thins your skin.
I started using vaseline for few months ,but after I started getting small little pimple on my eyelids I just stopped using it .
I have very sensitive and combination skin ,so I know now I can't use Vaseline. I try on my face because, and I got pimples the next day
@@eileendapaletemps3548it takes a few weeks for a pimple to come to the surface of your skin. Most likely you were going to get the pimple anyway….just a coincidence. My under eyes are sensitive too. I can not use eye serums, it will cause irritation. I can use Vaseline tho…
@@eileendapaletemps3548it's called milia. You had milia
I struggled with horrible dry eyelids and under eyes for several months. Could not get it to go away for anything. After reading your comment I tried Vaseline and it completely fixed it. Thank you!!!
On the way to work before the sun rose, my Mom tripped over a broken parking lot bumper. She cracked open the nose skin big time & was bleeding profusely. She went home, washed, packed it with Vaseline & bandaged it. Called me afterwards. We waited hours in ER. Dr looked at it, re-bandaged it & said she had done a spectacular job. It was already healing! Didn't need stitches! And she was left only with a minor scar.
Cool!
Wet wounds heal better with minimal scarring over dry wounds. Make sure it doesn't get infected.
WOW!!

Is it true that petrolatum has fewer impurities than petroleum jelly?
Is pure petrolatum available on the market?
We have been bamboozled by nutrition and skincare. Eat the eggs, use Vaseline. So simple and effective. My grandmother used to slightly heat it in a small dedicated pot just for Vaseline to warm it up and thin it out. She then applied it warm to her face. EVERY NIGHT.
That is a great idea!
Yeah, I just kinda put it on my face and wait for it to warm up / melt a bit before rubbing it in.

My best friend's mother used vaseline on her face every night and at 86 she had no wrinkles whatsoever. Her skin looked amazing. So yes it does work miracles.

My husband and I are in our 20's and slugging now thanks to these videos about vaseline. Based on these comments about people's grandparents having amazing skin due to years of vaseline usage, I'm so glad I'm doing it before I hit my 30's!
My daughter, at age seven, had horrible cracks in the bottom of her feet. Sometimes they would bleed. The doctor suggested a prescription cream that didn't work and then another cream. Both of them came in a tube only slightly larger than my baby finger and both cost close to $50. Neither helped and so in desperation I slathered her feet with Vaseline, put cotton socks on her and sent her to bed. In the morning there was a great improvement. By the end of the week her feet were totally healed. I also found it to be a great treatment for diaper rash (back in the day before disposables.) The Vaseline provided a moisture barrier and cleared up the problem.
I use creamy Vaseline if I can find it. Never have cracks.
In India, almost everyone does the vaseline trick for cracks in your feet. Even doctors recommend it.
I LOOOVE using vaseline on my face😍I slather my entire face with it before going to sleep and I wake up with the softest skin✨vaseline has done more for my skin than all these overhypes overpriced products out there
It is really helpful
@@DrDrayzdaywht about rosica around nose and chin..is it effective?
How do you wash it off? Oil cleanser ? 🤔
@@tangomango5360 washing it off defeats the purpose of using it. It will sink in and absorb & does not need to be washed off
Me too. Learned from previous videos from Dr. Dray, so doing it for over one year now. Also use on my neck, shoulders and chest. Just wish I had learned it sooner.
I'm 72. I've been using Vaseline since I was a child and my Mom would apply it to my hands and elbows and feet after bathing me. Now I use it around my eyes at night (I also use a tretinoin cream but NEVER under Vaseline) and on my cuticles and occasionally all over my face. I have also been using it to get stubborn mascara and mineral sunscreen off before washing my face at night. People say I have beautiful skin for an old lady.
I occasionally use the Aquaphor or Cerave healing ointments but just plain old cheap Vaseline works for me.
I can't go to bed without using it on my lips.
What is tretinoin cream please?
@@jamierogers4530 Retin-A is the brand I use but my comment implies that I use it on my eyes. Nope. Nope. Too irritating.
@@jamierogers4530It is Retin A use to prevent wrinkles watch Dr Drays videos about it. I am 76 and look 60...not my opinion my dermatologist's. I have used it for decades. LOVE it and low cost compared to cosmetic treatments. Im going to start slugging with vaseline from time to time but I
Wont change from my nighttime RetinA/ Tretinoen.
72 is young!! I love Vaseline. I would coat my feet in it then wrap my feet in plastic wrap and put on socks! I've got great young looking feet. I do this twice a month. Got baby soft feet!
I grew up in the 50's and it was either Vaseline or Noxema as far as skincare goes. Also we weren't into washing your face with chemical strippers - plain soap and water. I now have exzema on my face and when it was diagnosed the doctor told me to wash my face and slather on vaseline. It works like a charm!
Thank you. I'm going to try it.
I wonder if it’s safe for seb derm I’m dealing with dry flaky scaly skin:( tons of oils fatty alcohols feed the yeast unfortunately

Dont forget Ponds Cold Creme!!!
@@cheery-hexI love it too! It smells like the 80s and 90s to me☺😊
I have been using Vaseline to my under eye area for years which has helped me to have decreased lines. So listening to you tonight 11/1/2023 is confirming. Also, I am happy to know that I can use it after my skincare at night. Yes, it does help in healing the skin if irritated. I normally go back and forth between Olive Oil/Vaseline for irritation to skin. Now after watching your video I am more comfortable to continue its use. Thank you very much.
Do you have milia?
@@holisticstarhealing8673 No! That is a medical condition which I don’t feel has to do with skin care.
@@pansywalker9017 just asked :)
@@pansywalker9017 I don't truly believe that it's a medical condition but just my opinion. When we block the skin cells, which need oxygen for optimal health, it doesn't allow the natural exfoliation of the skin cells to turn over. So we keep occluding and congesting the skin cells with petroleum and silicone, among other film forming agents.
@@holisticstarhealing8673 I totally understand, but you have to wash face daily for cleansing. I have not experienced that condition thank God. I have been exfoliating mechanically three times per week to promote cell turnover for years. My basic care was cleanse, witch hazel astringent, exfoliate and moisturize with weekly mask of egg, milk and honey. I also steamed my face with chamomile tea first before masking. Plus I drink 10-12 glasses of water 💧 per day. I never used sunscreen, but now I do. I’ve been living in Florida for over 30 years and the sun’s heat has definitely changed. Overall, a healthy lifestyle is key to good skin.
I used to snob Vaseline, until I gave my face a chemical burn from using skin products incorrectly. It was taking weeks to heal and was a flakey and inflamed. I looked up how to treat a chemical burn and Vaseline was suggested. After 3 days my burn was almost healed. I’m still in shock. It will forever be part of my skin care regimen ❤ sorry for judging you mom😂
Great info. I’m a big fan of Vaseline. When I was a swim instructor and we were in the pool 4-6 hours a day, I covered my body in Vaseline because it protected me from the chlorine and from drying my skin out

First thing I noticed was how pretty she looks here.
Several years ago I had huge areas of dermatitis on my face caused from using some essential oils as skin care🙄. At the time I was clueless as to what the oils were actually doing to my skin. The dermatologist had me use Vaseline exclusively on my face for two weeks. He told me to put some Vaseline in my hand with a few drops of water & make a sort of cream & rub it in the the skin. I was horrified! He calmed me down & said many of his patients used it as skin care & had done so for years. The dermatitis cleared & my skin looked great!!
I just tried doing the water trick. Goes on MUCH better! Fantastic tip.
Thank you for this tip! I’m experiencing an allergic reaction to a sunscreen and my face has been itchy for over a week, and I’ve tried so many “remedies”.
I’m going to try Vaseline.
@@nylas7623 good luck! Hope it works for you.
Don't use Essential oils on your face folks😂😮
My sister was just in town with a purse full of essential oils and crystals 🤦♀️ she insisted on rubbing my dads feet with lavender oil. I said that’s incredibly irritating and she looked at me like I’m an idiot and said “it’s fine if it’s mixed with an emollient”. She dropped it into a handful of lotion and went to town on my poor pops. This “natural” craze needs to stop.
My mom used Vasoline every night on her face for decades and she always had soft skin well into her 80s. I have started using it as an eye cream at night. Love it!! Works as good if not better than those high priced designer eye creams. Thanks mom💗.
Was it soft or soft AND firm? Being soft isn't enough.
@@meghanmisaliarThat's genetics..
Can we just take a moment to admire how good Andrea looks compared to her older videos? She looks stunning, healthy, happier, bright. Love her.

I agree. Her skin is more even and she finally got her eyebrows done right. No sharp edge in the arch, although I think they are too long at ends. But what a difference. Lovely.
Yup, hopefully her bulimia problem has gone away
Hey, yes I thought the same thing!! Love it!! Go girl🙌
I don't think she's here for such thoughtlessly rude comments. Have some respect.
I was really struggling with the chlorine in the pool this summer. I took your advice about applying it before swimming and it’s made a huge difference, especially around my eyes. Thank you for all of the science based, practical information you provide!
I love your videos and your earrings and lipstick lol 😊
Around your eyes means
Should one apply serums etc prior to applying vaseline
I wonder if it’s bad for the pool and also to fry your face with the sun
Its an occlusive so it forms a layer on the skin that keeps things out
I literally don't watch any skincare channels on YT. Dr.Dray more than enough and she is the best
I use either Vaseline or Aquafor every night on my lips and hands. Also use it on my feet under socks when the weather cools down. It's great for softening feet.
Worked in a nursing home & one of my patients had the most beautiful skin. She told me she used Noxzema to cleanse her skin and vaseline for moisture since 1920s. She died in 2000 and I promise you not one wrinkle. Smooth, luscious skin. That was enough for me. I buy whichever brand is on sale lol I do like "nursery/ baby scent". I used it pretty much all over my body. It's good stuff, never did me wrong.

Vaseline was the only thing my Grandmother used on her face at night. I remember being very young and thinking she was crazy because her skin looked so greasy at night before bed. Needless to say she knew something we all did not. She lived to be 87 and her skin was flawless, she had a few wrinkles around her eyes but not many at all. I remember when I was in my 20's looking at her skin and how flawless and smooth it was. I always thought it would clog my pores because I suffered with acne for years and years. Today, I am 56 and honestly after watching this video thinking about going back to vaseline just like Grandmom. I too read many things that scared me away from Vaseline during the years. Thank you Dr. Dray for having the courage and wisdom to bring this back to us.
Was her skin soft or soft AND firm?? Being soft isn't enough for me. I'd rather have firm, glowing skin.
I always thought Vaseline would be too suffocating for the face. Don’t know why I thought that.
As a young teenager in the 60's I have used petroleum jelly as my main stay. This normally horrified women in my life when they learned this about me. I just attended my 50-year class reunion, I look fabulous and decades younger than my peers because of using the vasoline ;)
Yep same here I go back n forth between Vaseline and Nivea cream. It’s the same products that stayed on my grandma’s vanity so it’s what I use.
Keep lying to yourself
I used Vaseline on both my babies bottoms & they never had diaper rash & that was 50 years ago! Thanks for this great information! 🥰
I used Vaseline regularly on my daughter’s bottom and she never had issues and a very happy baby. Also, have used for myself to remove eye makeup gently. I will always remember someone complaining about makeup they loved but it was impossible to remove. I said to try Vaseline, she thought I was crazy (back in the 90’s). Well she gave it a try and she was amazed and thought I was so knowledgeable!
It's what I used for my babies after a washed bottom and all have been great I recommend it to everyone.
Instead of mascara on some days, I appy vaseline lightly to my lashes and curl my lashes......they stay curled all day. I use it as a moisturizer especially in the cold climate winters....works perfectly!
Me too.
Been putting Vaseline on my face after cleaning for the last 28 years. Have just turned 60 abd no one believes my age... ❤❤❤
It won’t keep your skin from sagging
When my nostrils are dry, cracked, and/or bleeding from having the heat on during winter, I swab a small amount of vaseline inside my nostrils to restore moisture. It’s very soothing!
Just got out of bed and slapped some Vaseline on my skin 😂
I used to always put this under my eyes and am glad this video gave me more information about Vaseline and the advantages it has!!! Literally something so simple does wonders. Thank you Dr. Dray!! In Dr. Dray we trust 👏
My grandmother and her 6 sisters all born in from the 1920’s-1920’s, smeared Vaseline on their faces religiously, nightly. All lived well into their 80’s and had smooth, beautiful skin. They also avoided the sun with long sleeves, hats, gloves, etc.
Doesn't the body need vitamin D from sun
Dr. Dre! I have been using Vaseline on my face, especially around my eyes and lips for 60 years! I cannot go to bed without it...
You look so nice today!
I use Vaseline on my feet with socks, it’s wonderful. Name brand or generic doesn’t matter to me. My grandmother swore by Vaseline for many things and always used it on her face, she passed at 92 and of course she had wrinkles but her skin was super soft, clear and had a beautiful vibrancy to it.
Did your grandmother completely remove the Vaseline during the day or wear it alone or under makeup? Thanks!
Vaseline as my nighttime moisturizer has been lifechanging! Only thing that clears my skin up no matter what
I have used Vaseline on my face daily for over 35 years. I have painful eczema and it is the only thing I have found to comfort my skin. The bonus for me is it's unscented.
My mother used Vaseline on her face every night before going to bed. Not a wrinkle on her face to the day that she passed away at the age of 76.
Because of you I've been using Vaseline for many months and im loving my skin! I also apply it to my neck, hands and sometimes my feet ❤
I am loving your switch to playing with more color. Both as fashion and home decor. Loved your serious neutral looks with grey and navy but seeing more pops of color like orange has been a bright and cheery look. It's great to see more of your creativity with color.
Looked good in the orange jacket in this video.
My skin has always been really oily and I tried to follow the "use a lightweight/gel/foam moisturizer" advice. The thing that genuinely helped my skin get to more balanced state was to use a super occlusive moisturizer/slug at night. Did it feel heavy? Yes. Did I wake up in the morning as a greaseball for a while? Also yes. But then my skin stopped being sensitive and oily during the day.
Would you mind sharing your brand of super-occlusive moisturizer?
Thanks for this comment. This coming from a 52 yr old that has extremely oily skin. 😊
@yasminbarry7941 vaseline......aquafor is great too.
Yes! Me too! I've always been very oily. Now that I use occlusives like triple paste or Vaseline a few nights a week, I'm less oily throughout the day. I think my skin was over "making oil" because I was actually dry. Not sure but I'm happy I figured it out.
All I know is my 104 year old Uncle used Vaseline on his face his whole adult life -- even as a pro golfer, who was out in the sun daily -- he had, to the very end, absolutely smooth, wrinkle free facial skin. It was so astonishing that a lot of people insisted he had to have had multiple face lifts. Nope, just Vaseline. I am a believer from empirical evidence. I use name brand Vaseline to remove eye makeup, and have done that for decades. Thanks for this!
What cloth or item do you wipe it off with? Thank you.
@@mefarias4879 Around my eyes, I use cotton balls. The rest of my face, a soft, damp washcloth, cotton.

@@littlemissmaybe480 Wow, that's amazing!
I use “Vasoline with Aloe” to moisturizer my hair. It does a better job for me than a hair oil.
Been using vaseline for well over 35 years. My grandmother did this and had the most gorgeous skin.
I've been using it on my face a week, and it's honestly worked better for my fine lines than the retinol I've been using for months. Love it
Safety Tip: when using Vaseline on your feet at bedtime, do wear socks so you don't slip and fall.
and at lunch / dinner make sure your hands are vaseline free
so your knife and fork don't become dangerous projectiles.
Lol you guys are funny
🤭
never fall and slip while falling asleep 😂

I am so glad that Dr. Dray did a video on this. I watch a skincare YTuber(not a doctor) video that warned people not to use Vaseline because it is harmful being derived from petroleum. Greatful to get information from Dr. Dray.
Our pills from Big Pharma are derived from petroleum.
This is good information. Was told Vaseline is not good for the skin because of the carcinogenic properties. However, my sister and I always love how vaseline hydrates the skin. Now that we know that the carcinogen contaminates with Vaseline usage is a myth we feel relieved thanks to you Dr. Dray.
In my family, we used vaseline always. I still do. It is cheap and it works so much better than alot of face creams and moisturizers out on the market. I use it to remove left over make up and I use it as a moisturizer. Im 54, no complaints here.
Hi, how do you cleanse your face in the morning? I don't use a cleanser in the morning, and if I put Vaseline at night, I feel like I have to use a cleanser to wash it off.
@@mochispacesif you use vaseline at night, you should definitely wash your face in the morning.
@@mochispacesI literally just splash plain water on my face in the morning, mostly to make sure I don't have any sleep crud in my eyes. Don't need to "cleanse", just water is fine. If you use too much Vaseline, a hot wet washcloth pressed on your face will help. Don't need soap or cleanser.
@@roringusanda2837and in the evening ? You use a cleanser ?
I’ve used it my entire 60 yr old life with severe eczema issues. It helps seal in water after bathing and It was so soothing for burning and dryness. I Also used it for diaper rash, abrasions and cuts which helped immediately with stinging.
Years ago my dermatologist gave me a little sample of an ointment to use on my face following having some "stuff" frozen off. I asked if I could buy it anywhere, and she said, "Yeah it's vaseline". I've been given that same little packet to use on areas following surgical incisions, and for healing scrapes. I love the Aquaphore Healing version and use it everywhere but always lips and hands at night and throughout the day. Thanks for reinforcing and reminding me. Love!
I watch you regulaly, and have added vaseline to my nightly routine. The vaseline has improved my facial skin, greatly. Thank you so much!
I used to get compliments on my young looking skin up to 72. Didn’t use Vaseline but other market items. Now I am 75 and my skin is dry, more notable wrinkles, bags under the eyes. I read several comments of the wonders of Vaseline, as well as your video, I’m starting the Vaseline skin care!
I use PONDS and I believe it has Vaseline. It was recommended to me from a 89 year old lady, who had beautiful skin , who used it for years. I Find it helps my combo skin (to clean it without stripping thev moisture).
I love ponds
I was hesitant when my PCP told me to use Vaseline for my itchy dry skin. But once I tried it I liked it much better than creams & lotions which now seem cold & sticky to me. Applied thinly, Vaseline is more comfortable. Doesn't drip. A little goes a long ways.
I apply it to wet skin after bathing - just a little blob per arm or leg can be very quickly spread thin over wet skin.
Thank you dr. Dray for de-stigmatizing Vaseline AKA petroleum jelly for me. I have been a big fan of it for about a year now but before that, I thought I would immediately break out if I ever even touched it. You have helped so many people with their skin and with saving money, thank you for all that you do!

My grandchildren would get eczema in the winter too. The pedi said use aquaphor with small amt of hydrocortisone cream. Worked great.
I just started using Vaseline because of your videos. Applying a small amount on my face before bed is a lifesaver for my dry, dehydrated skin. I also like applying it all over the eye area during the day, as well as on my lips. I usually buy brand name, because it's the same or similar price as the off brands are where I am and much more common. I can find a tub of Vaseline at almost every store here lol.

I know it's gross, but in winter, the air gets so dry that I wake up with a bloody nose almost every day.

A humidifier should help, also having plant will help increase the humidity in the air.
My mother always put Vaseline on our cheeks when we’d go outside to play in the snow. Simple, smart skincare!
it's great for preventing windburn
This, while into making natural skincare and makeup i came across people who hated “chemicals” and hated vaseline. I had a moment where i started believing that vaseline is bad but couldn’t justify hate around chemicals bcoz it all depends what it is and how you use. Came across a mum with kids who had very sensitive skin and were allergic to anything natural too and the only thing they could use were petroleum jelly wraps for skin moisture and some medicated creams.
I did research on vaseline and realised its not an evil and isnt bad for environment too bcoz its a by product and not the main thing for which crude oil is mined.
The ”natural” hype has been driving me crazy because I keep having reactions to most natural oils. It makes is so hard to find skincare! Thank god for petrolatum and ingredients like it, or I wouldn’t be able to do anything with my skin. There are so few ingredients out there that I can safely use.
everything is chemicals and it's plant and animal products that cause allergic reactions
I get so much grief for using Vaseline on my face. It’s the best kept secret! Thanks for this
I am 71, and I've used both V Brand and store brands, and both seem to work the same. When I lightly pat on my face at night, after cleansing, my whole face looks so nice and smooth in the morning. Better than using any other moisturizer. I also like to rub a tiny bit between my fingers and gently, lightly pat it over my freshly done total makeup routine. It makes my face glow and show less wrinkles or lines. Kind of keeps it fresh. I also pat a bit over lip edges.
I do this too but just on the top of my cheekbones / undereye transition area
I rub a small dab into my palm and pick it up with my beauty blender and tap it gently on there
I read that Marilyn Monroe did the same thing!
I slug with the cerave healing ointment petroleum jelly and I love it!
Vaseline was a staple in our medicine cabinet when I was growing up. We used it for everything... minor cuts and burns, rashes, dry skin, sunburn, chapped skin etc. These days, I always have a container in my home but don't use it quite as much as when I was a child. I've never tried it for slugging. It's very humid where I live so I can't imagine slathering my face with it. Happy Thursday, Dr Dray! I hope you have a peaceful evening. 💗
I started using Vaseline on my face when I was in high school and it cleared my acne tremendously! I also have really dry skin and it helped with that too!
Do you have to use it everyday to help with dry skin ? I’m looking for something to help dry skin that I don’t have to put on my face everyday but I’m not sure if there is such a thing lol
@Jack_99DE I used to do it every day, but honestly, every other day works fine too :) I would lather it on my face and wear it overnight. Then when I wake up, I'd shower and wipe it off and my face would be moisturized :)

I went to Japan in Feburary but I was having Rosacea at the time. I already went to the dermatologist and got my medicine. However Japan was cold outside but it's so hot inside. And that made my face started to peel... Then Vaseline saved me. The cheapest skincare product I brought with me!😊
Do you find that is stains pillowcases or clothes? I do.
@@lorijean1487 No not really! But I now only use it on my lips and around my noses because I always apply Differin every night before bed... And I'm usually a back sleeper (which is better for your skin according to Dr Dray!). Perhaps when you have to apply Vaseline on your face, but you don't want it to stain your clothes, you can put a face masks on? Or a little bit of mineral powder on the top of Vaseline?
@@lorijean1487 I should imagine that only happens if you have put to much Vaseline on your skin and not rub it in enough, you need to try again, and use less of it.

Thanks for all the info, doc 🤍
I use Aquaphor as eye cream as well as lip balm. So cheap and lasts a long time.
I use vaseline on my lips and around my eyes every night, preventing dryness 😄
I'm team Vaseline all the way. The other brands seem to be a more runny consistancy. My other favorite ointment is Vanicream Moisturizing Ointment.
I’ve been using Vaseline for years on the fine lines under my eyes & on my forehead to reduce wrinkles & it helps. It seems to lock moisture in & smooth out wrinkles. It works way better than hyaluronic serums, & cheaper!
I have used Vaseline, currently Cerave Brand Ointment, on my lips when I go to bed. I also use, this along with Abreva, when I have cracked corners on my mouth from open mouth sleeping. Helps with soothing and helping. I've used Vaseline on the soles of my feet, then covered with socks, before bed. Helps to keep my feet moisturized. Since diabetes runs in my family, I'm trying to take care of my feet so they can still heal well.
I use Vaseline on my lips and the corners of my mouth and on my chin, before I start flossing and brushing! It works amazingly, i stopped having sore / irritated lip corners and pimples from drying dental products.
Smart! Thanks for idea.
Smart!
My mother always had very sensitive skin. She used petroleum because the doctor recommended it. She lived to 92 with beautiful skin, smooth and wrinkle free.
How often and how much did she wear it
I wont ever let myself run out of vaseline. I use it for so many things in my beauty routine from using it as a lip balm to slugging to protecting my skin when dying my hair or painting my nail and more
I don’t typically slug, but I do when I’m headed outside on dry cold winter days (mountains may be snowy but the air is super dry) or even headed on a flight. Works beautifully so I don’t get indoors after a long day outside or off the plane with dry, itchy, irritated skin.
Great to put on before and during flights to avoid losing water in the plane or close areas with AC 😊
Even the dermatologist asked what I use on my skin…. Have used it forever, even though some said it would clog pores. I am 73 and get compliments alllllll the time!
This really helps my eye dermatitis when it flares up, over the top of my light eye cream to seal all the moisture in. Every morning and night! It's also really great for when my eyes water profusely, in the outer corners, stops the skin splitting. ❤
What dermatitis, and does it still help? I read too much about peri(orbital)oral dermatitis, and that vaseline can be one of causes :( On the other hand, some derms recommend vaseline when someone deals with perioral dermatitis. Dealing with some dryness and irritation around eyes lately, and I'm just afraid that vaseline will trigger perioral dermatitis. On the other hand, not acting fast to heal the barrier can cause it too... ahhh decisions, decisions.
WOW!!!!!! I have eczema, I did not realize that vaseline is good for skin!! Thank you Dr. Dray.
Look at you wearing all the beautiful colors!!! I use Vaseline everyday because of you. Love you!
Thank you 😊
love ur pfp ♥

I been using Vaseline for 40 years and my skin has soft and it has help my skin look youthful. I heard so many skincare representatives telk me that i should not be using vaseline ? Actually a cosmetic injector recently ask me how i get soft skin..when i said Vaseline..she said..yes i heard that it is wonderful...but was surprised how a cheap product can do so much!! .i feel people are brainwash to think you need expensive products to actually make a difference in yoir skin..even ceravie or Cetaphil doesnt compare to Vaseline
I have used it to take off my eye makeup for 30 years. Never any issues and no lines around my eyes, and I am 53.
How do u take make up off with vaseline?
It’s literally the best lip moisturizer unlike other lip products that give me contact dermatitis
I have meiboman gland dysfunction resulting in pretty uncomfortable dry eye and blepharitis. Applying vaseline around my lashline has been a lifesaver for significantly reducing the irritation and redness.
I've used Vaseline on my face since I was 11! I am 62 now and people think I'm much younger! I love love it!!!! My girlfriends would make fun of me at slumber parties because I would smear it all over my face! I still do, and love it!!! Every night I take off my makeup, wash my face with a warm washcloth, then smear it on my face, neck, hands, nails, and feet. If you put it on clean feet and put on cotton socks for the night, you wake up to great feet!!! I get compliments on my skin all the time! Love it!! Thanks for this, it was nice to hear someone say it was good for you. I always knew it was!
Hi, do you use a cleanser to take the Vaseline off ? Or just water ?
Thanks for putting this out Dr D. Yes, agree; after my extensive MOH’s surgery for basal cell carcinoma, my plastic surgeon advised Vaseline be applied to the area across the affected side of my face. I’ve now been using it daily for months on all my face. Excellent product and so inexpensive.
Thank you for posting this. I’m having MOHS surgery on my face for basal cell carcinoma next month
@@maggie_codes wishing you the very best. I also use Eucerin Aquaphor which works well especially when you follow the medical advice on post surgical massaging.
I tried to stop a dog fight (don’t try it; consider using a fire extinguisher or throw a heavy blanket on them instead to try to break it up) and got bit in my wrist which landed me in the ER. I got an oral antibiotic, but my follow up visits to the doctor suggested I use petroleum jelly on my wounds once they closed up. I was using a topical antibiotic because I wanted to keep the scars moisturized so they heal better, but she told me to use Vaseline instead.
I have recently been using Vaseline on my lips. It is making a difference.
Love this video! About a week and a half ago, I had a moderate skin reaction to, what I believe, a makeup wipe. I woke up swollen and beet red. I stopped all skincare and used a mild cleanser, mild M
moisturizer, and topped off with lots of vaseline. Some some mornings I only splashed my face with water and reapplied vaseline. After a week, it was soooo much better, and as of today, completely gone. Being a combo oily acne prone gal, I never believed I could "slog," but I'm hooked!
My European Aunt used Baby Oil to remove makeup and to moisturize her face and body. She died at 89 with no noticeable wrinkles!😊
I am 68 years old (aging,dryness, wrinkles), and I fight rosacea. I've been using Vaseline to remove my eye makeup. It's cost friendly ( I'm on social security ), and I find it effective.
You are my go-to Dermatologist on TH-cam when I need information on skincare products or trends. Thank you for the wonderful content!
I’ve always used Vaseline on my face.. leaves it smooth and my makeup looks better 👌🏼
My threat grandma used this on her face and she looked amazing even in her 80s and 90s she passed at 93
Good morning!!! I personally use this for my lips and I use it on my eczema flare ups. Also in areas that just get extra dry. It’s great! Bc of my very very sensitive skin, I don’t where face make up except blush or bronzer. I started using it on my son too. It works so well.
Omg you’re my skin twin! Do you mind asking you what else you use for the flares up?
Use on feet when wearing new shoes! Or running. Helps with friction.
Always bring small box of Vaseline when I travel and I know I'm going to walk a lot
