Vaseline on face before bed...

[missfliss]

....ok, off the back of seeing it recommended here for plumped-up, dewy morning skin, I am volunteering myself as Guinea Pig...

I'll report back.

I slathered Vaseline all over my face before bed and this morning my lines are definitely less noticeable! Wow!

@ChristineBaskets

Ok, the Vaseline thing must work because I’ve just been asked if I’m using a new eye cream because my under eyes look less dark this morning!

I seem to remember that Marilyn Monroe's downy facial hair came from a hormonal treatment she took (I think she had endometriosis), not the Vaseline.

Eek, Vaseline will give you a hairy face

That is 100% bollocks.

I am jumping on the bandwagon. I do worry about face fuzz though, already have menopausal chin hair!

It doesn't cause hair growth,it just doesn't.

Eleanor - did you use your regular eye cream and then vaseline over the top? Does it drag?

So I’ve been trying this for the last six/seven days and I’ve noticed today that the lines across my forehead seem to be a lot less prominent.

And I don’t think it’s a placebo, because I hadn’t heard anything about Vaseline reducing the look of wrinkles (and wouldn’t have expected it to). I just tried it in the hope it would soften my skin and help my spots (it does seem to be helping them heal quicker).

So I’m impressed with it so far. But I’ll give it a few more weeks before giving my final verdict. Because I often get very excited by a new product and then my skin/hair just suddenly stops agreeing with it.

@ChristineBaskets lmfao! Great user name too! 😂😂😂

@Sarcelle no, I used it alone and it didn’t drag at all. I’m 35 so don’t have any set in wrinkles or fine lines but I did have a couple of faint lines emerging that you could see in certain lights thanks to my side sleeping! I put a fair amount on and was worried it would be puffy in the morning but nope. After washing off in the morning it looks quite luminous like I’ve used a highlighter underneath. Very impressed.

Thanks! I used mine on top of my eye gel. Might do it a couple of times a week. (Worried about milia.)

I have really greasy skin, i don't even use moisturiser because i hate the idea of adding anything cream-ish to my skin so i can't even contemplate the idea of vaseline!!

Avoiding moisturiser can actually be counter-productive for oily skinned people.

So should I be telling my DH to stick some vaseline on his head then?

Intrigued by this.

It’s a fire hazard though, builds up on bedlinen, even with regular laundering. So if doing this don’t smoke in bed or have candles!

I use it to remove eye make up and then out some around my eyes on my lips. I’ve done it for decades.

Well, I've got some pretty deep lines on my face, so they're going to have some Vaseline on them (as soon as I buy some)

So I don’t use moisturiser before bed- I just use almond oil. Can I put the Vaseline on top of that? And as someone with sensitive/rosacea prone skin is this something I can do without an adverse reaction?

I'm trying it tonight too, I've put a very thin layer on and my face feels 'tacky'

Perhaps the trick is to put the layer on a couple of hours before bed. I put it on under eyes at 7am after cleansing, moisturising. Sang in within a couple of hours.

I’ve dragged everything out of my cupboards and no bloody Vaseline! I have unearthed rose/cocoa butter/aloe Vera tubs of it that I never knew I had but no normal Vaseline

Another one here just checking in with a face full of Vaseline, lying in bed, praying for time to rewind overnight.

Well if MN recommends it.... I've survived the sizzle threads, the sudocrem as a primer threads , the prep H on dark circles threads. Hell I even did the MN haircut (that was a dark time)

What have I got to lose??

Oh just remembered so more!

Footner - life changing you all said. Likewise eyebrow razors and those hideous springy things that were supposed to remove your moustache.

My step mum used vasaline to go to bed every night. Her skin was incredible until the day she died. Honestly if you can stand the grease go for it
