Does anyone use Vick's vapo-rub as a moisturizer?

[IFancySomeone]

Today my friend told me she uses Vick's vapo-rub as an all-over body moisturizer every night.

Apparently she's done this for years and was under the impression that it was pretty common.

I'm under the impression she's an absolute nutjob.

As well as it being super moisturizing, she said she likes the cold tingly feeling 😱😱

Has anyone heard of this? Does anyone do it? Or does everyone do it and I'm just out here like a fucking loser with my body lotion?

I don't want to lower the tone but what does she do if she wants some 'me time' before nodding off. Some serious nail scrubbing must be required.

One of the funniest things I've ever read @MrsDanversGlidesAgain

I do know that some people rub it onto feet and lower legs to help with peripheral neuropathy

Are you 100% sure she wasn't having you on? I mean... seriously, who does that?

But does she have 'good' skin???

There's a whole thread of it. I was crying with laughter the first time I read it.

She must smell like a giant mothball. Bet she never has to worry about moths, though.
