I am 72 years of age.
Have been using vaseline since the age of 18.
It was the only product that I could afford.
I don't have 1 wrinkle.
How do you personally use it, hun?
Every night, I apply under the eyes and on lips. Faithfully.
During our Canadian winters, when skin is prone to drying out, I apply vaseline to face and neck. Faithfully
Sunscreen is important as well.
I have developed cold urticaria (sensitivity to cold). In order to go outside, my allergy specialist suggests smearing vaseline all over my body and proceeding to put woolley underclothing on.
I kayak, so I use vaseline on my hands. It's natural protective properties against the elements, keeps my hands looking younger.
Thank you for reaching out.
Stay well
So youre saying youve been on this earth for SEVEN DECADES are you dont have ONE wrinkle?? 😂🤦🏻♀️😂 thats literally impossible 🙄😂 you may look younger than you do but again its LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE for you to not have a wrinkle at that age so please stop lying because not one person is gonna believe that nonsense 😂 dont embarrass yourself like that Teresa🤦🏻♀️🤣
Vaseline has been used for years by rich and poor. I love using it. Didn't know about slugging until now. I believe drinking water and eating right is very important for your overall health.
I wash my face every night and every morning….at night I use a rough glove to remove dead skin and makeup. When clean I put a small amount of Vaseline on my face. After and 1 hour, I wipe of any excess. My face is awesome. I am 68.
I'm 42, started using Vaseline two weeks ago, can already see a huge improvement in the areas around my eyes, it works magic. Shame I didn't hear about it earlier.
Me too!!! Way better than expensive under eye creams!
Did it help anyones dark circles, please?
I have been using cerave ointment on active acne for over 1 month now. for every other day morning and night. I have acne for over 15 years now. but with this cerave ointment, I thank the lady that Point it to me at the pharmacy here in France 🇫🇷 it only cerave ointment that change my looks.
I use nivea creme has a day cream and vaseline has a night cream I have used so many different creams in 64 years and found that these two products have the best results without spending a load of money x
I'm 54 and have no crow feet. I've been using vaseline around my eyes every night for the last 18 years. It was the only thing I can afford. I also use the Eucerine thick cream around my eyes and I would apply the vaseline on afterwards. It does work.
Finally something for dry skin. Even the sensitive skin options always sting. Im excited to try this.
I have dry, sensitive, eczema, and acne prone skin with active breakouts. Used slugging with vaseline for the last 3 days, and my cystic ance and active breakouts are healing and have dramatically reduced.
I do the same thing! I use Tret 5-6 days a week and like to take a day to just use a basic moisturizer and top it off with the healing ointment. Living in MN and getting into colder weather, this is a life saver!
I always loved Vaseline for the longest time due to having atopic dermatitis/eczema, and this is despite really hating the greasy feeling of most of the thicccccc moisturizers typically recommended for dry skin (Nivea creme, Bioderma atoderm creme or baume, etc). I always felt protected when using it and it felt like my skin was finally getting a chance to rest and relax when I applied Vaseline. Now I never really slugged, only used it on dry patches and the lips, but recently I started slugging using either baby mineral oil or generic white petrolatum, and my skin feels a lot at ease and far more soft and supple now.
Crisco works great for eczema FYI
Grannies always know better, a lot of the comments I see when people mentions vaseline is that it is a thing their grandmothers used to do back in the day it is not a new trend.
Old method. New name.
@@jcombs5495 That is the way it goes with trends they invent a cutesy name but it is all the same old crap. Repackaging does wonders for marketing they thrive on that, have been for years.
Thank you for clarifying that we should not slug over retinol! I was still seeing redness and dryness when I tried this and your explanation makes so much sense! Thank you for that important information!
Eczema-prone, acne-prone, sensitive and dry skin here. After my second eczema flare and seborrhea this year due to the trigger of contact dermatitis due to a popular gentle cleanser, I'm able to slug safely. I just need to make sure that my skin is clean/ washed with cleanser prior slugging. And I use the cerave moisturizing cream, aveeno eczema itchy balm and vaseline. I only slug opposite of my adapalene routine during off days. I can no longer tolerate salicylic acid wash even 0.5 percent and glycolic toner 7% (using those few times a week for one to two years). I can only use cerave benzoly peroxide wash in AM and adapalene in PM.
Needed this!!
Thanks ❤
Thank you for the video. Absolutely crazy editing though!
I love your channel!!! Thanks so much!
You’ve really explained this thoroughly. Tganks
I was doing this since before it had a name ! Started in highschool & I'll
be 70 next year. Nothing is MORE IMPORTANT than staying out of sun.
Thank you for this informative video! I love to use the slugging technique to heal my dry hands. Overuse of hand sanitizer and harsh soaps can impair the skin barrier on our hands, the winter dry and cold conditions can exacerbate this condition. I apply a thicker Aveeno cream on my hands at night, apply Aquaphor healing ointment on top, and cover my hands with thin cotton gloves for the night. In the morning, my hands feel and look healthy again. I also apply Aquaphor to my lips and around my eyes prior to using my Adaplene at night.
Darling, I'm going to copy your routine 😉; my hands haven't been the same for a while now. 😄😄😄.
Thanks for sharing. 😊
CeraVe healing ointment is by far my go to. It completely healed my skin. I’ve tried the others but they just don’t have the effect like CeraVe does.
Thank you for your explanation! I've been doing slugging method to repair my skin barrier for a week, and it really really works on me! 😆 but is it okay if I lay Niacinamide serum under the petroleum jelly? I just want to improve the result by adding Niacinamide😁
Hi Doc! Great video. Can I put things like buffet w/copper peptides, alpha arbutin, niacinamide before moisturizer and aquaphor? Thanks!!!
I like the ‘modern’ pronunciation… ‘Pet ro lot um’. I love it! Vaseline will now market it this way and charge 25$😂
😂1is time lesning pet ro lat um
Haha! So true!!
There's actually a bunch of synonyms for this oil byproduct 🤷♀️ it's still grease. Very effective
😂😂🤞🏾
Same! So cute! petro Lart um
Cetaphil came up with a new Cracked Skin Repair Balm. That one isn't petrolatum based and has 1% dimenthicone. It really works wonders on my cracked hands. It's way less greasy than many petroleum based products so I use it for slugging too.
Vanicream also has a new ointment which is not petrolatum based. Very curious about that one
Thank you so much for sharing! My hands are so cracked and sensitive that I cover them with bandaids and change the bandaids constantly 😂.
Im 60yrs old and have been using Vaseline on my face at nighttime since i was 12yrs old and i look half my age.
I was looking on TH-cam for help with dry skin on my legs my age 71yr old boxers have been useing vaseline for years didn't know I could use it for anything else
I like all products witch you have and here in Zambia where can I found CeraVe moisturizing and aquaphor
Many years ago, while living in Hawaii, my younger brother developed severe exema, the Pesiateucuan recome ded nightltly application of Crisco (commonly used for cooking). Guess What? It Worked!!😅
My mom use that for their hands 😊
I have been using tretinoin.1% all over my face and around eyes. I can tolerate it pretty well. I don’t have any irritation but just in general dry skin. I used to use up until two weeks ago my tretinoin around my eyes followed by moisturizer then 20-30 min later Vaseline or aquaphor. I never had any irritation. I am confused if I should continue to use Vaseline as my last step around my eyes or not? Since I use tretinoin as well. I am female 45 years old. I do have dry skin and I have been using retinol/retinoid different strength for past five years.
Thanks for the info! I have acne prone face that is T zone oily. Im using tret once a week. How often would you recommend slugging? Prob w aquaphor yea?
Dr. Jenny what do you recommend as far as active/inactive ingredients regarding moisturizer or products for dry skin before slugging?
Olá. What about petrolatum for celulite??
I did slugging yesterday for the first time, did it in the morning since I was in home office and didn't have to go out. Even if I like what it did on my face, I think I'm unfortunately prone to milia because there were some very small white bumps under my eyes 😢
Please can one use balms that are not petroleum based like the Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy Night Time Balm to slug?
Is it possible to use a cleanser with AHA and salicylic acids before slugging? It’s not like you’re putting retinol on and leaving it there… or does enough of it still remain on the skin for irritation to possibly occur throughout the night?
Can we use esstials oils with vasseline? If yes, before and after and what oils are ok to use with it?
So, when do I use the retinol? I thought it was not good to use it in the morning??
When you say not to use actives before slugging that also includes niacinamide or vitamin c?
Thank you Dr. Liu for this excellent explanation about slugging. I have combination mature skin and using BP wash and Tretinoin at night ( I am working on that) and I am having flaky skin. Do you think I could no acids and use Cerave one night per week? If yes, how much could I use for my face? Other than Cerave, could be La Roche Posay Cicaplast balm? . Thank you again.
I think what you’re asking is can you add an exfoliant? Yep just avoid with tret and always good to start slowly like once weekly. And cicaplast is another great option for slugging
@@dr.jennyliu Having combination mature skin could I do slugging? if yes, how much should I apply on face? thanks.
@@galato4234yea you can but just use very lit amount of Vaseline
Helloll can you you it on your body? Thank you
Will petroleum cause more milia ?
I can't use petroleum products> I have a combination skin so they break me out around my chin and nose so I use Vie E oil from a capsule. After I have used all my serums mad moisture sprays and moisturising products, I break open a vit E capsule and squeeze it out onto my palm and rub my hands together then I press my hands onto my skin. I really don't know why seed oil do not break me out but petroleum products and anything with silicones break me out.
I love vaseline. No other product leaves my skin so soft
I still do not know, how much any of these products should be used for a face?
CeraVe Ointment🎉
can i do the slugging routine in the morings instead of night so keep the grease off my pillow?
Can cera v healing ouitment can help my mother to protect a barrier when she urinate evernigh as she suffered from incontinence?
Petroleum jelly good for fine lines ???
Hi Dr. J, I have a question. After 6 months of acute stress my skin has thinned and I have thinning hair for the first time. I am only 35 and have always had good hair and skin. Will it recover now that the stress has stopped?
Yes, for the most part
Is petrolatum the same as paraffinum liquidum? Coś i love NIVEA CREAM..
Hello, do you think its ok if i use cosrx snail essence as a serum after cleanse, and then put vaseline in night time routine? I dont have moisturizer, i need to repair my skin barriere so im trying to make it simple as i can and dont want to risk any acne coming with moisturizer.
Yes
@@dr.jennyliu thank you!
Slugging is done at night, right? 💝
Can i use niacinamide before slugging?
Doesnt petrolatum block absorption of Vit C?
I add pure vitamin E oil into my vaseline, it thins the vaseline thickness
I get very dry and itchy legs during the winter time. I also suffer from eczema which gets exasperated by the dry winter air. However I'm confused about the Cereve Healing Ointment. Do I use it alone when I slug or should I use another moisturizer under it? I do have the Cereve Moisturizing Cream.
Put on the moisturizing cream and then the healing ointment on top
This might be a silly question, but do you think slugging could help with stretch mark prevention by putting aquaphor over your normal stretch mark cream or oil?
Use Bio oil. It's the best for stretch marks.
@@luceliapretorius4155 Didnt get rid of mine
Can you slug if you have millia?
How are other people washing it off of their face in the morning? I had to use my cleansing balm twice and then scrub it off my face with a dry wash cloth. Defeated the purpose of using it at all. How is anyone benefiting from this?????
Try an oil based cleanser it works well and way more gentle
Can I slug in the morning? Or just in the evening??
Show us the creams
I have never heard someone pronounce petroleum this way before in my life. It’s this
Is it safe for pregnancy? The vaseline
What happend about slugging?
I used retinol every night so I guess I can’t use Vaseline right?
Am 26 I have pores on my face, though i started using vaseline not long ago i hope it works, cause people always give me 32.
Im concerned about any health effects of vaseline. Can we use coconut oil instead...ive been using it before bed, and seems to help a bit..but is vasioine better?
Just mix some beeswax and castor oil.
As it is occlusive, what cleanser can you suggest to remove or wash off petrolatum?
@@Bryyun thanks for the tip.
Good morning, I consulted with a primary doctor and she said petrolatum is absorbed by the skin and goes thorough the system to the kidney, do you have any other organic options for slugging ?
I don't think this is true, but you could try vegetable glycerin as an occlusive, good luck
Castor oil is another option.
That’s my big concern as well. Skin is our biggest organ and things applied on our skin are absorbed into our blood in less than half an hour.
How do you suppose the nicotine patch works?
@@cangel201Not everything we apply to our skin can be absorbed, it's not that simple.
Available studies don't appear to support that idea. If you want to research, start with Googling "review of data on the dermal penetration of mineral oils and waxes used in cosmetic application," then go from there.
Doctors can be wrong. They can misunderstand available information. They can hold biases and cling to ideas that fit their pre-conceived notions just like the rest of us. As a group, their potential for collecting useful, accurate info is high, but individually, they can be just as problematic as the average Joe -- that's why second opinions are a thing.
And I'm not sure why you seem to believe that some other organic product being potentially absorbed into the liver is a good thing. Why would jojoba work better in the liver than petrolatum?
Regardless, studies show petrolatum does NOT end up in the liver. And further, petrolatum (and petroleum products in general) are literally both organic in the classical sense and completely natural. Of course, crude oil can carry compounds you wouldn't want anywhere near your skin, but after adequate processing, that's no longer a concern. You see, ANY natural (I.e. not synthetic) product has the potential to harm. Think of clays: something we consider perfectly neutral and beneficial in cosmetic applications still has to be refined and tested to ensure that what we've dug out of the ground to slather on our skin doesn't contain harmful ingredients. Petroleum products are no different.
I always get irritated when I use aquaphor! Is there an active ngredient in aquaphor that I would react to? It makes my lips. literally PEEL off. I do great with plain vaseline
Aquaphor contains lanolin as an inactive ingredient; some people are sensitive to it.
Maybe I missed it but what’s the difference between 100% petroleum jelly and Petrolatum ?
Petrolatum and petroleum jelly are actually the same thing. They are both semisolid mixtures of hydrocarbons. The term "petrolatum" is actually a more technical term for petroleum jelly, which is often used in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. So, in terms of their chemical composition, petrolatum and petroleum jelly are identical.
强烈种草这款cerave 凡士林，家有沙漠大干皮湿疹娃她很喜欢视频中A家的凡士林，我去买支cerave 这款让她试试，谢谢博主把每款都比较的那么详细❤
Can you use hyaluronic acid before slugging?
What about peptide serum?
I am not a dermatologist but the rule is the more liquid a product is the order it should be put on your sin and hyaluronic acid is liquid so that would be first then a moisturizer , being creamy, and ending with slugging product ( I use petroleum jelly on some of my face ).
I would break out like a champ😂😂😂😂😂😂and it feels a bit icky but i do use ot for many things.
Can do slugging skin on the body ?
Yes. I recommend my eczema patients to lather on petrolatum as their moisturizer or over
Isn't Petrolatum bad for health in general?...our skin absorb everything and it goes directly to our blood...
No it isn't you put your regular moisturiser on your face first then add a thin layer of vaseline which then keeps mpisture locked in.
can i use aha and retinoids when slugging with cicaplast baume?
You can may increase irritation
“How to slug” starts at 8:18.
Can it cause acne? Or pimple? Or milia?
The concept or use of petrolatum itself doesn’t but everyone’s skin is different
I am milia and acne prone. From my experience, it generally really depends on my skin's state and stress level. It's why I general prefer to use vaseline during the night when I am able to relax and my body temperature does not fluctuate much from external reasons.
Ok. Are we talking about PETROLEUM Jelly?
Yes
cerave is the best
vanicream isnt good
next time demonstrate how much, how to clean off
I would never ever ever use petrolatum or Vaseline on my face…instead I would use it on my hands and sole of my feet. My personal choice.
Great for that too
I’m just so confused how a petroleum a byproduct from the oil industry just blows my mind. Please help me understand when we have healing healthy butters. Not that Korean women don’t have a beautiful edge
Vaseline sits on the skin as an occlusive, it provides an irritant free barrier for your skin. Hospitals have been using it for burn patients and as she said it is a good ointment for cuts etc. Butters do not provide that. Think of it as a shield for your skin keeping moisture in and environmental irritants out.
I tried slugging for 1 day and got a pimple. So no for me
Pimples take on the orders of few weeks to develop. What you see the next day is merely ones that is ready to erupt and not from slugging. Now if you’ve been slugging for fee weeks and then see increased in pimples then that could be more of a possibility
Mam today I watched your video on skincare I want to ask you I got chicken pox three months back nd my doctor told me to use
Doxycycline hydrochloride lactic acid bacillus capsules

Why are you spelling petroleum wrong and pronouncing it wrong?
Petrolatum is the right way it is also known as petroleum jelly
@@dr.jennyliu learned something new today. Thank you😊

The term "petrolatum" is actually a more technical term for petroleum jelly, which is often used in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. So, in terms of their chemical composition, petrolatum and petroleum jelly are identical.
Petro lot um??? What the heck is going on??
"Slugging" is NOT anything new. I'm 62 & have been doing this decades old beauty regimen since my teens. The use of Vaseline as a deep moisturizer & protectant is not a new phenomenon....This has been around for decades
They can’t say petroleum jelly, because it comes from fossil fuel.
I’m distracted by the pace. Did you slow down on purpose?
You can speed or slow down video if you click at the top and then hit the settings button and click on playback speed and change it to your liking.
WTH?
How many cuts... Why not just talk to the camera?
Omg this pronunciation 😂🙄
Since when is it pronounces as "PETRO-LOT-UM"???? It's 'PE-TROLL-LIUM"....this is strange to me
They are two different words for two potentially different products. Not all petroleum jelly is cosmetic grade and appropriate for skin, but all petrolatum is.
