Esthetician here. After very strong peels, we tested Aquaphor on one set of clients and Vaseline on the other side of clients. Result clients that used Aquaphor had skin care reactions like rashes. The ones using Vaseline had no reaction on their skin. From that point on we stopped using Aquaphor
OHHHH MYYYY GOOODNESSSS!!!!!!!!!!THNK U@LANNIEVAST5094!!OK THIS MAKES SENSE!!!I too had a reaction after peels using aquaphor but didn't realize it was tht!!but it was the one difff thing used from the last time I peeled..however i never ever thought it could b tht !!!
yes!I used aquaphor on my face a few months ago, I often use vaseline or simple Eucerin all over my face -but within 4 days I got à horrible rash allover my face. all id put on my face was Aquaphor and a twice a day light wasm water wash. I'll stick with my vaseline and jar of Eucerin, I tossed the other.
I did watch your video on milia, but I had a rough time attempting to do it myself, although I have done it once before up on the high cheekbones, but never that close to my eye. But I too got several milia‘s from using too much moisturizer under my eyes…. And by accident/hunch I decided to try my Cereva SA cleanser under my eyes. I wet my face, like I’m washing it which I was. Put a good layer on smeared it under my eyes and I left it on for 2 to 3 minutes, per Dr. Dray instruction, then I rest it was very warm water, and then finished with cool tapwater, I kid you not, within one to two days of doing this they were all gone !!!!!!! and my skin felt super soft no digging required! So now, I make it a habit to do this routine once or twice a week to keep them at bay. I just thought I’d share my two cents, experience. Maybe it will help someone.
Thank you for this video. Original Vaseline is sooo underrated. I have a friend who’s now almost 80. She was 40 when I met her. She had the most beautiful skin ever. When I asked what her secret was she said a jar of Vaseline. From head to toe. Her skin is still beautiful and healthy looking.
I am 81 years old, a hairdresser all of my adult life until retirement. One of my older clients always bragged that all she used was vaseline. Her skin was flawless. I shrugged it off as "old fashioned." I wish I had seen your video years ago. Now I know what my next Amazon purchase will be! Vaseline!
Thank you for mentioning 3 times purified. Very important and the Vaseline brand is the only one triple purified. Not the generic. I'm 63 and have used Vaseline all my life.
Good to see. I have to share this. I have a friend I consider family who is 82 years old and looks fabulous. She has used Vaseline as long as I've known her- since 1970s. Her skins is beyond pretty and at 82🎉. She swears by it as tried and true for skin care. 🤷🏼💜👍. Good video !!!
Back in my late 20’s to early 30’s, I was walking around with my friend and spotted a woman with the most beautiful, youthful, glowing skin so I struck up a conversation with her and she told me all she used was Vaseline and that she disclosed to that she was 53 years old at the time, to my surprise. Now I’m 50, adopted her Vaseline tip, and I’m the one with the youthful glowing skin and get stopped in the street by compliments. Vaseline works! Another plus is that it actually cleared up all the black little sebaceous filaments on my nose.
Twenty years ago, my daughter and I were in the Andes mountains of Perú. It was mid-winter, extremely cold and extremely dry. At night, I smeared Vaseline over my face before bed. My daughter was aghast. "I'd NEVER put that all over my face!" Ever since, I've been trying to prove to her that it's a good form of protection. Finally! Vindication!.
Michelle, this was fabulous! I'm really trying to make healthy and SIMPLE choices. I need to simplify my routine, and this is perfect! Plus, I'm happy to support those tried and true brands! ❤
I have tried both Vaseline and Aquaphor under my eyes and other textured areas of my face. The Aquaphor seemed to perform better on me in the heat and humidity than the Vaseline. Vaseline would probably perform better in the colder months. Thank you for the wealth of information Michelle! ❤
honestly I have had many skin cancers removed and my doctor always says use vaseline for 5 days to help with healing and scaring; Per doctor request I have always been a vaseline lover. Great video Michelle. God speed
Thanks so much!!! I’m 70 and spend wayyy too much money on department store beauty products falling for the hype that newer and more expensive is better. Good to know that I can return to tried and true Vaseline. I wish I had never disowned it. Thanks for the revelation and for your awesome videos.
Thanks for the tip,I’ve never tried Vaseline as an under eye primer. I love Vaseline for eye makeup remover,on my lips at night & dry elbows etc. I’m gonna a try it tomorrow as an under eye primer. ❤ from Washington state
Good morning 🙏 everyone. I use the lips on my lips and the big stick healing balm on my face and the BIG JAR everywhere else. The BIG JAR is wonderful on my feet with socks for the softest feet ever. WOW 😮this makes so much sense because the Vaseline keeps the barrier between your face and all the makeup. It will probably keep your skincare locked down into your skin. ❤ Thanks, Michelle, for doing the research for us as always. ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
When aquaphor came out Vaseline became vilified as a petroleum product. It’s important to note that off brands of Vaseline are not pure like the brand Vaseline. Vaseline also promotes healing.
Aquaphor is awesome for my under eyes and concealer, I don’t have a ton of fine lines just my natural ones and it helps with creasing and longevity, will try the Vaseline next
Thank you for doing this video!! We have all thought that the more expensive newer products are better because they COST more and are shoved in our faces through advertising! I believe in the PURE cheaper products!!!
Thank you Michelle for this. Was wondering about the difference. I haven’t looked greatly but had only seen Aquaphor on Amazon here in the UK. Eurecin is a brand of Aquaphor here but Vaseline has been a standard bathroom item in the UK always and I find it wonderful for dry patches on the face too . Yet to try under concealer.
I am SO glad I found yoyr site by accident! I often wondered uf anyone would ever do a page deconstructing facial products & skin care by ingredients. I am in o way a makeup professional but I gave myself a layman'seducation in chemistry from the early 70s up til now & have always wondered if I should do experimental stuff abt the effects certain ingredients seem to have on my skin, now that I'm starting to hear my own "complaints/observations" coming from much younger women. Theonething that drew me in rt away was your references toVaseline!I have actually bern using this as an augmentation to my regukar skin care ALL MY LIFE. So I can voych fir how well it works when combined w/regular, currently popular skin care routines. 😉
Could you please give a demonstration on how to apply Vaseline to the face and eye area? I tend to be heavy handed and would like to be sure I am applying it correctly. Thank you! Love your video. New subscriber as f today.
Thank you for mentioning its best to use the original Vaseline. I have noticed a difference with the formula that has the coco butter, it’s hard to describe, but the consistency is different. It also performs different. I had to switch to the original, and the results for me are better.
Great information. Thank you. Have you used Albolene? It has been around for forever and I just bought it for the first time. I am wondering how it compares to both Vaseline and Aquaphor.
😊❤ I could only afford Vaseline as an eye makeup and reg makeup remover when I was in my 20’s. I’m 64 and still love it! Better than Micellar water by far and way cheaper. How did I know to use it? I read an article in a ladies magazine way back in the late 70’s. I will say that the tube of aquafor made for baby is the same as the jar of aquafor. It’s very thick and 41%. For those of us who despise digging in a jar, this is an alternative to use on those extreme dry patches. I’m sure moms of diapered babies find the tube way more convenient. But Vaseline is even cheaper and pure!! ❤ I’d also suggest that ALL of us keep around baggies or makeup bags w a few disposable gloves. Where? in diaper bags, cars, even a few in our handbags. There r sooo many kinds of them available. Why? Tons of reasons! Diaper changing, pumping gas, cleaning out small spaces in the car, packaging meat for freezing, cleaning at home, rubbing on pain creams in our bedrooms, etc. My husband has had a transplant and being zealous about what’s on everything we touch has become a huge deal over 9 yrs! So I began keeping disposable gloves in diff places. I can’t believe how often we use them! Not a makeup tip, but perhaps someone needs to know! ❤ your videos!! 🎉😊
Hi I just discovered your channel! So happy I did! I used Nivea lipbalm for my dry knuckles and under eyes since many years before bed. It started in high school for me. Carrying one around and hands were always dry I would appy it to my knuckles. And lack of funds for beauty creams I just applied a touch undee eyes at night as I keep a stick on my nightstand. I was curious if Acquafor was better. This reminds me of when margarine came out as the butter alternative and a bunch of new health issues began. I went back to butter after being made afraid of it since childhood. Guess what? I noticed better skin, as in more plump, texture and retaining hydration, healthier hair and my thyroid is more stable. Butter like Vaseline is under rated. My mom only ever used Nivea original on her face and Vaseline for other areas. And Dove soap. She never had wrinkles, never wore makeup until she passed at 78. She was youthful, naturally beautiful always. Poverty cornered her into being simple, but it actually helped. I pray that I age like she did. I just went back to Nivea lip balms and original cream. They are the best for hydration! The scent is wonderful. Don’t break what works. Cerave is good as a non greasy body cream but it is overhyped. But Vaseline is a MUST. You can apply it to cuts, burns, rashes, face, as a makeup remover ( what I do), as a primer, as an overnight foot and hand softer under gloves or socks, as a dry hair tips conditioner, as an anti rusting for your car or any bolts nuts etc, as a water proof sealer, as a conditioner for tools and garden tools. To remove goopy sticky residue on packaging and shoe and leather conditioners. I always clean my shoes boots purses with it and condition leather couch and car seats. In small amounts. I would keep one for beauty, one for DIY, kitchen, and or garage. Nivea and Vaseline are important if we go into an apocalypse for me anyway. As for avocado oil in the Acquafor, i am allergic to latex so anything avocado I stay away from. They should stop using it so many ppl react and do not know avocado is in the latex family. And they keep ingesting it or using it.
Great comparison video! I bought Vaseline a while back but have been too nervous to put it on my face. Going to finally try it after watching this video 😊 Just found your channel and subscribing!
Totally agree although i will say that ive been using CereVe oitment and love it way better than Aquaphor. I do it for the ceremides but when budget is tight .. vaseline.
I agree, and I use Vaseline, too.I've used many products. I'm 64 and find that many products bother my skin. Vaseline is what I use, too. I used to use shea butter and still can as long as it is natural, but Vaseline healed my face, and I love it.
I have two of the three forms of aquaphor and good ol vaseline. Going to have to do my own experiment. I am assuming that you only used the smallest amount of the vaseline... As a peds RN, I can attest to the amount of PR given to MD offices from Aquaphor, cetaphil and cerave!!
Thanks for adding to this important conversation. These brands are the big Pharma of dermatology.❤ OK, let me know, let all of us know, how the comparison works out for you
@@maturemakeupmasterclassso I tried the vaseline and it lasted longer for me. Initially the regular aquaphor and vaseline look the same, but the vaseline looks better as the night goes on. The aquaphor tends to look drier with time. Vaseline for the win for me! Thank you!!
Michelle, I wish you would cover peach's skin care.I'm very intrigued by her natural approach to beautiful skin without makeup.I love makeup and I'll always wear it.But her approach is very , very interesting to me would love your take on it
I will try to check it out but as a 30 yr pro makeup artist, I could never forgo makeup. I love it so much and it’s the whole reason I went into make up back in the 90s.
As an artist, makeup is artistry, its an expression of who I am. I’ve never related to natural girly, I admire them. I just can’t relate and I grew up with a mom who looked like I dream of Jeannie so we are not natural girl in my DNA.😂
@maturemakeupmasterclass oh I'm with you 100%! I love my makeup. Not a fan of natural girl! Her no makeup look is how she promotes how incredible her skincare magic works and promotes no filter filming. Her specialty is holistic skincare that can address all skin issues and she raves about Vaseline brand only petroleum jelly!
I love being a peach girl, she has really good products, but I still cheat on her once in a while, lol especially during special occasions. But going natural is very freeing………. Why can’t we embrace are natural beauty too??🥰
Another great option, that works really well for me is the big tub of Vanni cream moisturizing ointment, who, Dr. dray passage, suggested this to see a moisture in.
Off topic but that hair color is so beautiful on you ! I need to do whatever you are doing because your skin is also fresh and clear. On topic: Both products give me milia if I use under my eyes. I like one commenters suggestion of using Cerave SA to treat so I will try that. Very informative video. Thanks 🙏🏻
What about Demi balm??? I know not everyone is familiar with Seint, so, that makes sense. But since you love Demi so much, I’m just surprised you didn’t try that first. They should work best together, right? I’m really anxious to know your thoughts! Thanks for all of the effort you put into your videos❤️
This is Milk Makeup Cheek and Lip Jelly tint on my lips and cheeks in Fresh soft pink. Then I used MOB 1990 pencil and a Seint Diamonds are Forever lip balm but on person, my lips looked juicy! Like I ate a pink popsicle and did a gloss over
wow THNK U SO VERY MUCH FOR THIS DETAILED INFO!!!!IWAS ALSO enlightened by a comment on this !WE would love a vid on trying the vaseline stick for lips to see if works !!although it probably isn't as smooth as the original original !!maybe people a bit younger but still slightly dry skin types might like it for the under eyes ..thnks again🥰
Thank you for doing this video! The minute i heard he was using a lip product around the eyes, i was out! I have been using a heavy moisturizer, with better, but not perfect, results. I am going to get some vaseline!
Just bought Vaseline yesterday. I do like Aquaphor for a good hand cream. Cetaphil is that good, inexpensive product recommended by a lot of derms as a mild cleanser and moisturizer for acne prone, eczema and other skin conditions. It certainly helped my skin, my daughters' skin and scores of others to calm facial skin irritation and such down. I do promote the comparable Walmart Equate brand as a cheaper, works as well product in both cleanser and moisturizer, though.
Like the game of telephone, I must not have heard it was the lip product. I thought it was the balm stick. I want to say I heard about aquaphor ointment used that way from a supermodel. It might have been a grwm with Karlie Kloss before she got off a flight. The problem is, I can’t find it! Thank you for this video. I’ve been using Vaseline for years because not only did my dermatologist recommend for help with eczema but my OB/GYN and GI doctor as well.
Petroleum jelly gets a bad rap but Vaseline brand in particular is ultra clarified and safe. It’s widely used in medicine. My Mayo dermatologist recommends it. During the two years my face was a mess due to a combination of topical steroid withdrawal and newly diagnosed allergic contact dermatitis (it took two years to recover from both), all I could use as skincare was Vaseline. It brought me so much relief, protected my skin, and when I put makeup on for work, my concealer did sit very nicely over it! I have to make my own lip balm because there is not a commercial balm in existence that doesn’t contain at least one of my allergens and I use Vaseline as one of the four ingredients in my formula. It’s wonderful.
My 98 year old Grammie used Vaseline (which with her accent was Baseline) as her facial moisturizer every day for decades. Her skin looked incredible until the day she died. Barely a wrinkle and supple texture! My sis and I would marvel at her skin. I recently had a erbium yag laser facial resurfacing and have used it every day for the past two months and plan on continuing to use it as my night moisturizer for the rest of my life. Grammie was right!
Works great under seint. It is non comedogenic and has never caused milia for me but if you are prone to milia, it could. We kind of have to be our own guinea pig
I have a Vaseline stick, but it is not 100 % Vaseline. I'm willing, though, to try it just for funsies and see what happens. Michelle, I love your makeup look today 🥰, can you show us how to recreate it?
I use aquafor in the tube overnight under my eyes and it has definitely helped them look less tired and my skin is more nourished so my makeup looks better. I never thought about trying it under my makeup so I will have to do that and see. The one I use in the tube reminds me of Vaseline there might be some petroleum in there too idk.
I'm 72 and have used Vaseline on and off for probably 50 years. It's great for feet and cracked heels--just rub some on your foot and heel, put on socks and wake up to soft feet. It takes a few times to soften cracked heels. I do the same thing for my hands-put it on, sleep in gloves and my hands are so soft in the morning. I've used Vaseline on my lips forever. I never use any gloss or anything else. In the winter I occasionally used Vaseline on my face. Of course, it's very greasy so you really have to be careful not to use too much. I can't believe that concealer won't just slide off it because of how greasy it is. I'm going to try it, though. Vaseline is great for so many things--I even used it on my kids when they were babies.
I have *suluxy* I’ve owned for over a decade. There were men who use to sell them on the streets on the Upper East Side in the evenings. My authentic leather Classic is like butter now. Luxury is subjective, like art. Nothing is really essential, but food.
Many moons ago about 40 yrs my lady driving instructor put Vaseline under her eyes her eyes were so baggy (loose skin) and wrinkled, i was an Avon lady at the time and did a lot of skin care study so I thought it was wrong to use Vaseline as its very heavy and sticky a lighter lotion is much better as we want to firm the eye area not soften it 😮
Many of the gals who do makeup videos on TH-cam, including some who are makeup artists said that the Aquaphor lip balm can cause milia. That's the reason I decided not try it.
I do love Vaseline and I always have some on hand, but I must say that when I do put it on my face I feel like my skin just absolutely is smothering like it cannot breathe at all. And any thoughts on that?
Esthetician here. After very strong peels, we tested Aquaphor on one set of clients and Vaseline on the other side of clients. Result clients that used Aquaphor had skin care reactions like rashes. The ones using Vaseline had no reaction on their skin. From that point on we stopped using Aquaphor
Bless you for weighing in ❤
OHHHH MYYYY GOOODNESSSS!!!!!!!!!!THNK U@LANNIEVAST5094!!OK THIS MAKES SENSE!!!I too had a reaction after peels using aquaphor but didn't realize it was tht!!but it was the one difff thing used from the last time I peeled..however i never ever thought it could b tht !!!
Aquaphor has lanolin in it - it maybe an allergic reaction, especially if you're applying it to the eye area.

TY for describing the differences😃👍 you have great skin...taking ur advise✌
Hi I just discovered your channel! So happy I did! I used Nivea lipbalm for my dry knuckles and under eyes since many years before bed. It started in high school for me. Carrying one around and hands were always dry I would appy it to my knuckles. And lack of funds for beauty creams I just applied a touch undee eyes at night as I keep a stick on my nightstand. I was curious if Acquafor was better.
This reminds me of when margarine came out as the butter alternative and a bunch of new health issues began. I went back to butter after being made afraid of it since childhood. Guess what? I noticed better skin, as in more plump, texture and retaining hydration, healthier hair and my thyroid is more stable. Butter like Vaseline is under rated.
My mom only ever used Nivea original on her face and Vaseline for other areas. And Dove soap. She never had wrinkles, never wore makeup until she passed at 78. She was youthful, naturally beautiful always. Poverty cornered her into being simple, but it actually helped. I pray that I age like she did. I just went back to Nivea lip balms and original cream. They are the best for hydration! The scent is wonderful. Don’t break what works. Cerave is good as a non greasy body cream but it is overhyped. But Vaseline is a MUST. You can apply it to cuts, burns, rashes, face, as a makeup remover ( what I do), as a primer, as an overnight foot and hand softer under gloves or socks, as a dry hair tips conditioner, as an anti rusting for your car or any bolts nuts etc, as a water proof sealer, as a conditioner for tools and garden tools.
To remove goopy sticky residue on packaging and shoe and leather conditioners. I always clean my shoes boots purses with it and condition leather couch and car seats. In small amounts. I would keep one for beauty, one for DIY, kitchen, and or garage.
Nivea and Vaseline are important if we go into an apocalypse for me anyway.
As for avocado oil in the Acquafor, i am allergic to latex so anything avocado I stay away from. They should stop using it so many ppl react and do not know avocado is in the latex family. And they keep ingesting it or using it.
Great video. Yes to Vaseline!
Great comparison video! I bought Vaseline a while back but have been too nervous to put it on my face. Going to finally try it after watching this video 😊 Just found your channel and subscribing!
Totally agree although i will say that ive been using CereVe oitment and love it way better than Aquaphor. I do it for the ceremides but when budget is tight .. vaseline.
I agree, and I use Vaseline, too.I've used many products. I'm 64 and find that many products bother my skin. Vaseline is what I use, too. I used to use shea butter and still can as long as it is natural, but Vaseline healed my face, and I love it.
Awesome, Yvette! Thank you ❤
Aquaphor has lanolin in it. If you’re allergic to wool / lanolin it can be a problem with Aquaphor.
Only the jar does, possibly squeeze tube
I really like the Aquaphor! Thanks for the tip!!
I do too, I really do, but vaseline fills in my nooks and crannies more 😂❤
So many things I didn't know. So informative. I have my answer. Thank you so much!
I have two of the three forms of aquaphor and good ol vaseline. Going to have to do my own experiment. I am assuming that you only used the smallest amount of the vaseline...
As a peds RN, I can attest to the amount of PR given to MD offices from Aquaphor, cetaphil and cerave!!
Thanks for adding to this important conversation. These brands are the big Pharma of dermatology.❤ OK, let me know, let all of us know, how the comparison works out for you
@@maturemakeupmasterclassso I tried the vaseline and it lasted longer for me. Initially the regular aquaphor and vaseline look the same, but the vaseline looks better as the night goes on. The aquaphor tends to look drier with time. Vaseline for the win for me! Thank you!!
Michelle, I wish you would cover peach's skin care.I'm very intrigued by her natural approach to beautiful skin without makeup.I love makeup and I'll always wear it.But her approach is very , very interesting to me would love your take on it
I will try to check it out but as a 30 yr pro makeup artist, I could never forgo makeup. I love it so much and it’s the whole reason I went into make up back in the 90s.
As an artist, makeup is artistry, its an expression of who I am. I’ve never related to natural girly, I admire them. I just can’t relate and I grew up with a mom who looked like I dream of Jeannie so we are not natural girl in my DNA.😂
@maturemakeupmasterclass oh I'm with you 100%! I love my makeup. Not a fan of natural girl! Her no makeup look is how she promotes how incredible her skincare magic works and promotes no filter filming. Her specialty is holistic skincare that can address all skin issues and she raves about Vaseline brand only petroleum jelly!
I love being a peach girl, she has really good products, but I still cheat on her once in a while, lol especially during special occasions. But going natural is very freeing………. Why can’t we embrace are natural beauty too??🥰
Thank you for this today. I have always liked Vaseline and it has been my standard for years and raising my children ( babies butts).
Excellent on those bottoms 😂❤
Thank you so much for the video! Just discovering you:) Question: Do you use a primer with the Vaseline?
Your skin and eyes are so beautiful. May I ask what colors of eye shadow do you have on?
Grew up with Vaseline still use it today absolutely the best
Great information! Love your classes!
Thank you❤
Another great option, that works really well for me is the big tub of Vanni cream moisturizing ointment, who, Dr. dray passage, suggested this to see a moisture in.
Vanicream is safe for acne prone skin too❤
Off topic but that hair color is so beautiful on you ! I need to do whatever you are doing because your skin is also fresh and clear. On topic: Both products give me milia if I use under my eyes. I like one commenters suggestion of using Cerave SA to treat so I will try that. Very informative video. Thanks 🙏🏻
Running to buy this. In my mind vaseline was bad....thanks. Will purchase!
Wonderful!❤ now we know
What about Demi balm??? I know not everyone is familiar with Seint, so, that makes sense. But since you love Demi so much, I’m just surprised you didn’t try that first. They should work best together, right? I’m really anxious to know your thoughts! Thanks for all of the effort you put into your videos❤️
Demi balm didnt work well at all. I was hopeful but no❤
Thoughtful research and comparisons.❤
Thanks ❤
My mom would use Vaseline to keep us from getting super chapped skin in the winter when we wanted to play outside.
Bingo! That’s why it’s so good for slugging❤
Thanks for all the information! We are going to have to try vaseline :) It was college application week for us also! That was rough!! :)
Hope you get rest this weekend. Im mentally exhausted 😮
Yes! I got a little red pimple under my eye,..I threw the lip balm out...lol So do you put Vaseline on.. then face primer?
What lip product are you wearing? Beautiful and sheer
!
This is Milk Makeup Cheek and Lip Jelly tint on my lips and cheeks in Fresh soft pink. Then I used MOB 1990 pencil and a Seint Diamonds are Forever lip balm but on person, my lips looked juicy! Like I ate a pink popsicle and did a gloss over
wow THNK U SO VERY MUCH FOR THIS DETAILED INFO!!!!IWAS ALSO enlightened by a comment on this !WE would love a vid on trying the vaseline stick for lips to see if works !!although it probably isn't as smooth as the original original !!maybe people a bit younger but still slightly dry skin types might like it for the under eyes ..thnks again🥰
Glad it was helpful!❤
Thank you for doing this video! The minute i heard he was using a lip product around the eyes, i was out! I have been using a heavy moisturizer, with better, but not perfect, results. I am going to get some vaseline!
Just a thin veil❤
Just bought Vaseline yesterday. I do like Aquaphor for a good hand cream. Cetaphil is that good, inexpensive product recommended by a lot of derms as a mild cleanser and moisturizer for acne prone, eczema and other skin conditions. It certainly helped my skin, my daughters' skin and scores of others to calm facial skin irritation and such down. I do promote the comparable Walmart Equate brand as a cheaper, works as well product in both cleanser and moisturizer, though.
Like the game of telephone, I must not have heard it was the lip product. I thought it was the balm stick. I want to say I heard about aquaphor ointment used that way from a supermodel. It might have been a grwm with Karlie Kloss before she got off a flight. The problem is, I can’t find it! Thank you for this video. I’ve been using Vaseline for years because not only did my dermatologist recommend for help with eczema but my OB/GYN and GI doctor as well.
Petroleum jelly gets a bad rap but Vaseline brand in particular is ultra clarified and safe. It’s widely used in medicine. My Mayo dermatologist recommends it. During the two years my face was a mess due to a combination of topical steroid withdrawal and newly diagnosed allergic contact dermatitis (it took two years to recover from both), all I could use as skincare was Vaseline. It brought me so much relief, protected my skin, and when I put makeup on for work, my concealer did sit very nicely over it! I have to make my own lip balm because there is not a commercial balm in existence that doesn’t contain at least one of my allergens and I use Vaseline as one of the four ingredients in my formula. It’s wonderful.
Thx so for the info. I really appreciate all your advice.
You are so welcome!
My 98 year old Grammie used Vaseline (which with her accent was Baseline) as her facial moisturizer every day for decades. Her skin looked incredible until the day she died. Barely a wrinkle and supple texture! My sis and I would marvel at her skin. I recently had a erbium yag laser facial resurfacing and have used it every day for the past two months and plan on continuing to use it as my night moisturizer for the rest of my life. Grammie was right!
Thank you.. good information. I'm going to try!
Will Vaseline clog pores and or cause milia?
Also does it work well with seint makeup? Thanks for your videos!
Works great under seint. It is non comedogenic and has never caused milia for me but if you are prone to milia, it could. We kind of have to be our own guinea pig
I have a Vaseline stick, but it is not 100 % Vaseline.
I'm willing, though, to try it just for funsies and see what happens.
Michelle, I love your makeup look today 🥰, can you show us how to recreate it?
Sure, soon enough ❤
it's a classic! Take good care and thank you.
Thanks for listening
My dermatologist has me use Vaseline for wound recovery after skin cancer removals.
Good to hear ❤
The way you applied the Aquaphor in one video was different than how I’ve seen others (Angie, e.g.). Repeating that demonstration might be helpful.
Got you! I use the thinnest veil ❤
Your skin and hair are so beautiful
Thanks Clara ❤
I was just thinking about doing that myself and you beat me to the punch LOL! It is very logical to me!
Great minds think alike ❤❤
guess I’ll have to break the Vaseline back out again! lol this is great information. Thank you.!
Thanks for watching ❤
Can you show us how much you put on? Do you just smooth it on and then add concealer? Or do you Pat/wipe some of it off first?
I put on a thin veil and lightly tap a tissue on top. Then apply concealer or color corrector ❤
Bravo ! I love this tip 🤸♀🤸♀
I use aquafor in the tube overnight under my eyes and it has definitely helped them look less tired and my skin is more nourished so my makeup looks better. I never thought about trying it under my makeup so I will have to do that and see. The one I use in the tube reminds me of Vaseline there might be some petroleum in there too idk.
I loooove Aquaphor.
I'm 72 and have used Vaseline on and off for probably 50 years. It's great for feet and cracked heels--just rub some on your foot and heel, put on socks and wake up to soft feet. It takes a few times to soften cracked heels. I do the same thing for my hands-put it on, sleep in gloves and my hands are so soft in the morning. I've used Vaseline on my lips forever. I never use any gloss or anything else. In the winter I occasionally used Vaseline on my face. Of course, it's very greasy so you really have to be careful not to use too much. I can't believe that concealer won't just slide off it because of how greasy it is. I'm going to try it, though. Vaseline is great for so many things--I even used it on my kids when they were babies.
Good ole Vaseline... we should've known!
Right??? 😂❤
I have *suluxy* I’ve owned for over a decade. There were men who use to sell them on the streets on the Upper East Side in the evenings. My authentic leather Classic is like butter now. Luxury is subjective, like art. Nothing is really essential, but food.
I’ve been using beef tallow under my eyes before my concealer!
Tallow is so nourishing for our skin.
Beef tallow is so controversial on tiktok
@@maturemakeupmasterclass I didn’t know that, what’s the reason?
Excellent video! Great info. Thank you! Im subscribing right now!
Thanks Beth! Happy we found each other ❤
How much Vaseline do you put on under your eyes, and do you wait before applying concealer?
Would you use this on oily skin?
Many moons ago about 40 yrs my lady driving instructor put Vaseline under her eyes her eyes were so baggy (loose skin) and wrinkled, i was an Avon lady at the time and did a lot of skin care study so I thought it was wrong to use Vaseline as its very heavy and sticky a lighter lotion is much better as we want to firm the eye area not soften it 😮
How much Vaseline do you use and - all over your face like a primer? Do you have a moisturizer under the Vaseline?
Do you put the Vaseline under your foundation? Or under your concealer?
Many of the gals who do makeup videos on TH-cam, including some who are makeup artists said that the Aquaphor lip balm can cause milia. That's the reason I decided not try it.
Bingo. Thats because lip products are not FDA approved for eye area. I knew not to use it but wanted to see why the hype. I got milia on Day 2 🤬
Can you do a detailed video on how you get rid of the millia around the eyes?
I did one. I linked it in this video or scroll back to May
If you use as a primer will it affect your sunscreen?
I do love Vaseline and I always have some on hand, but I must say that when I do put it on my face I feel like my skin just absolutely is smothering like it cannot breathe at all. And any thoughts on that?
Vaseline has a stick just like Aquaphor. Is that okay to use?
It’s amazing isn’t it, simple ❤️🐾🐾
So simple ❤
@ Not to bug you but have you tried the Korean skin balm that is going around for $25.00 …
