Best Basic Beauty Product

by alison (6 reviews)
This is my "if you could have one beauty product on a desert island"... Vaseline can be used anywhere on the body as a moisturizer, it removes makeup and can be used as lip gloss. There's no other product that can boast that! Now, if it only wasn't derived from petroleum, it would be a 10.10/11/2007

    Ta-Da! Presto! As Seen On...Grandma's Medicine Cabinet?

May 23, 2008, 10:39 pm I used to leave this product on my bathroom counter untouched. Then one day I was watching a talk show segment and found the multiple uses of this so being curious, I tried those tips out. This works to depuff and help reduce circles underneath the eyes and prevent wrinkles some say, well I've found that my eye area has brightened slightly and while not immensely, this is still worth having around since eye creams can get up as high as a couple hundred bucks depending on what type and label you purchase. Next tip, a lip balm - tested, it absolutely does the job. Another tip, a cracked and dry skin healer some said. Ok, so the method was to apply this liberally all over your feet and put socks on and what do you know, the next morning my feet felt softer. Ok, so basically this wrapped up having three or more products in one jar and without even going further and explaining more uses that I've found on the internet, this product is a different product than everything else because it has the least complex structure of ingredients and is a basic formulation that can be used universally saving you trips to the store and stress of finding and testing out other products. Now, I won't guarantee that it will replace some of the ones that you love but it's just an awesome alternative or suggestion to keep one around just in case you, yourself finds a use for it and I bet you'll discover at least one.

    Beauty Must Have

    by sheshedivine (65 reviews)
    Everyone should have this in her beauty routine. Works better than any chapstick, it even looks good as a basic gloss, using your lips natural color, I've even slathered it on my face and slept with it on, (put a towel over your pillow case!!) when my face was particularly dry.

Works better than any chapstick, it even looks good as a basic gloss, using your lips natural color, I've even slathered it on my face and slept with it on, (put a towel over your pillow case!!) when my face was particularly dry. When I washed it off in the morning my skin was amaazingly soft and gorgeous. My under eyes are really dry, so when I put concealer there it tends to look even dry, but using a very small amount of this with my concealer makes it work perfectly. For feet, hands, arms, legs, lips, as a makeup remover, this product is so versatile. December 10, 2007, 3:11 pm

    A Permanent Star

    Nothing, but nothing quite serves as well for a basic lip moisturizer.

I use this item to moisturize my lips (which it is SUPERB for), as well as for my hair and body during the rouch winter months when my skin is vulnerable to extreme dryness. Not only that, but it is also great for make up removal! April 20, 2008, 11:24 pm

    Reliable and good value

    Vaseline is non-irritating and an effective moisutrizer. It is also one of only a few products that I can use when my lips are irritated, cracking and dry because it does not sting.

December 27, 2007, 10:31 am Vaseline is non-irritating and an effective moisutrizer. It is also one of only a few products that I can use when my lips are irritated, cracking and dry because it does not sting. I rely on this product for its moisturizing benefits. However, if I want to slather on a moisturizing product for day use, I prefer something that absorbs well. Even shea butter absorbs a little better. But, overall, I love this for its reliability, gentleness and value. December 27, 2007, 10:31 am

Chapped skin, household uses, so many uses and so little space! I use this on my hands at night and then put on cotton gloves.( once a month) It does wonders for the cuticles. As a note of caution: If you use oxygen DO NOT use this product in or around your nose or mouth. It is petroleum based and that would not be advisable. April 23, 2008, 7:45 am

    basic staple

    by justrhonda (10 reviews)
    Need lip balm? How about makeup remover? Quick fix for dry skin? Something to help your tender nose when you have a cold? Vaseline works great for all of that. I usually buy the tubes though, and not the tub, because it's more convenient for me. June 2, 2008, 9:12 am

    Multiple uses

    by nickypm (5 reviews)
    We use vaseline for lots of things in my house. If I have makeup to get off, I can use vaseline on a cotton ball in a pinch. Dry spots on extra dry skin that lotion does not penetrate. I use vaseline. It softens skin overnight and it doesn't irritate sensentive skin either. May 24, 2008, 3:46 am

  • Manufacturer's Product Description

  • Vaseline® Petroleum Jelly is a mixture of mineral oils, paraffin and microcrystalline waxes that, when blended together, create something remarkable - a smooth jelly that has a melting point just above body temperature. The result - it literally melts into skin, flowing into the spaces between cells and the gaps in our lipid barrier. Once there, it re-solidifies, locking itself in place. Vaseline® Petroleum Jelly serves two functions: First it helps keep the outside world out - it protects skin from the effects of weather and exposure. Second, it acts like a sealant to help keep the inside world in - it forms an occlusive barrier to the natural water loss of our skin. So skin that is dry and chapped is protected from drying elements, enabling skin-softening moisture to build up naturally from inside the skin itself.
  • Directions

  • Provides visible relief of dry skin when used regularly
    Removes make-up with less irritation than soap and water
    Offers soothing protection for minor burns
