10 REASONS TO USE VASELINE ON THE FACE | Dermatologist

My dear grandma, who trained as a beautician in the 1930’s, would remove her makeup every evening with Vaseline and then add another layer as her nighttime moisturizer. As a teen in the early 90’s who was fully on the “oil-free” train I thought she was insane. But I was stripping my skin with foaming cleansers and saturating it with alcohol toners and wondering why I still had zits! She lived to 95 and had beautiful, supple skin until the end. Grandma knew a thing or two after all!

I’ve been using Vaseline around my eyes for 45 years to treat the dryness on the skin of my eyelids and under my eyes. I started using it as a teenager, and it’s the longest skincare regime I have used, and I am 60 years old. I highly recommend using Vaseline than wasting money on high end and expensive eye creams.

On the way to work before the sun rose, my Mom tripped over a broken parking lot bumper. She cracked open the nose skin big time & was bleeding profusely. She went home, washed, packed it with Vaseline & bandaged it. Called me afterwards. We waited hours in ER. Dr looked at it, re-bandaged it & said she had done a spectacular job. It was already healing! Didn't need stitches! And she was left only with a minor scar.

My best friend's mother used vaseline on her face every night and at 86 she had no wrinkles whatsoever. Her skin looked amazing. So yes it does work miracles.

When growing up in Finland my mother used to put Vaseline on our faces before going out into the winter to play all day. Preventing us from wind , cold and possibly frost bite.

We have been bamboozled by nutrition and skincare. Eat the eggs, use Vaseline. So simple and effective. My grandmother used to slightly heat it in a small dedicated pot just for Vaseline to warm it up and thin it out. She then applied it warm to her face. EVERY NIGHT.

My daughter, at age seven, had horrible cracks in the bottom of her feet. Sometimes they would bleed. The doctor suggested a prescription cream that didn't work and then another cream. Both of them came in a tube only slightly larger than my baby finger and both cost close to $50. Neither helped and so in desperation I slathered her feet with Vaseline, put cotton socks on her and sent her to bed. In the morning there was a great improvement. By the end of the week her feet were totally healed. I also found it to be a great treatment for diaper rash (back in the day before disposables.) The Vaseline provided a moisture barrier and cleared up the problem.

Can we just take a moment to admire how good Andrea looks compared to her older videos? She looks stunning, healthy, happier, bright. Love her.

A dermatologist many years ago told me to use Vaseline. He was over 60 at the time with no wrinkles

Who else is loving Dr Dray's colorful looks and makeup? Did someone get their color analysis done? 👀🙂😏

Been using vaseline for well over 35 years. My grandmother did this and had the most gorgeous skin.

I grew up in the 50's and it was either Vaseline or Noxema as far as skincare goes. Also we weren't into washing your face with chemical strippers - plain soap and water. I now have exzema on my face and when it was diagnosed the doctor told me to wash my face and slather on vaseline. It works like a charm!

I LOOOVE using vaseline on my face😍I slather my entire face with it before going to sleep and I wake up with the softest skin✨vaseline has done more for my skin than all these overhypes overpriced products out there

Vaseline was the only thing my Grandmother used on her face at night. I remember being very young and thinking she was crazy because her skin looked so greasy at night before bed. Needless to say she knew something we all did not. She lived to be 87 and her skin was flawless, she had a few wrinkles around her eyes but not many at all. I remember when I was in my 20's looking at her skin and how flawless and smooth it was. I always thought it would clog my pores because I suffered with acne for years and years. Today, I am 56 and honestly after watching this video thinking about going back to vaseline just like Grandmom. I too read many things that scared me away from Vaseline during the years. Thank you Dr. Dray for having the courage and wisdom to bring this back to us.

I am 68 years old (aging,dryness, wrinkles), and I fight rosacea. I've been using Vaseline to remove my eye makeup. It's cost friendly ( I'm on social security ), and I find it effective.

Safety Tip: when using Vaseline on your feet at bedtime, do wear socks so you don't slip and fall.

I was really struggling with the chlorine in the pool this summer. I took your advice about applying it before swimming and it’s made a huge difference, especially around my eyes. Thank you for all of the science based, practical information you provide!

Several years ago I had huge areas of dermatitis on my face caused from using some essential oils as skin care🙄. At the time I was clueless as to what the oils were actually doing to my skin. The dermatologist had me use Vaseline exclusively on my face for two weeks. He told me to put some Vaseline in my hand with a few drops of water & make a sort of cream & rub it in the the skin. I was horrified! He calmed me down & said many of his patients used it as skin care & had done so for years. The dermatitis cleared & my skin looked great!!

All I know is my 104 year old Uncle used Vaseline on his face his whole adult life -- even as a pro golfer, who was out in the sun daily -- he had, to the very end, absolutely smooth, wrinkle free facial skin. It was so astonishing that a lot of people insisted he had to have had multiple face lifts. Nope, just Vaseline. I am a believer from empirical evidence. I use name brand Vaseline to remove eye makeup, and have done that for decades. Thanks for this!

I literally don't watch any skincare channels on YT. Dr.Dray more than enough and she is the best
