Vaseline

Vaseline is such an affordable, ubiquitous product that I'm rather sad it doesn't work for me. Despite its low comedogenic rating, I can't use it anywhere on my face without breaking out pretty badly. If I use it on my lips, I will get little pimples and whiteheads all around the lip line. It's good for dry patches on the body though, so I'll save it for that.

I love that this is unscented, it is moisturizing, the pump works for me, however it gets clogged so easily. I think for this product to work well, you MUST apply it to wet/very damp skin. I've tried it on slightly toweled off skin, and I was like, "Um, I don't like this. It doesn't work." So this was good nothing really bad to say, but I recently finished a body "cream" before trying this, and I think body creams, thicker lotions, and butters are where it's at for me.

So, I only have been using Vaseline as makeup remover recently since I learned that all the scary myths of petrolatum are just that, myths. They don't actually clog pores, it is no longer petroleum from chemical processing, etc. I use it as makeup remover. So I take a little fingerful of jelly and rub it all over my face. Especially when I wear fou dation and/or sunscreen. The jelly just breaks them down. Even eye makeup. After its all been emulsified, I take my fave makeup wipe and wipe away! Done! Face is left clean as a whistle and moisturized than just using a wipe alone! Another way I use it is to moisturize/occulse my face after a retinol treatment or before I head out into the harsh winter weather. This way it protects my face. And if course, I love it for my lips!
