Eww no!!! that will clog your pores,make you break out, leave your skin greasy and smelly, will create a thick barrier and your skin wont be able to breathe, I cant think of anything worse, don't go there!

I've tried it before with a moisturiser first then the Vaseline... So that it locks the moisturiser in. That worked nicely too but I actually find it enough on its own. Is it a bad thing for it to be made from animal and plant remains? Forgive me if I sound stupid, but I don't knooow. Animal remains don't sound nice but they don't sound harmful either. Please don't tell me my face is gonna fall off lol

I know tons of people do this but I can't imagine slathering a petroleum product all over my face. Yes it makes the top layer soft but it doesn't moisturize deep down which is what you want in a good moisturizer.

It's made out of crude oil, which is made out of animal and plant remains

Makes the skin around your eyes soo nice, don't you think? Not sure it makes your eyelashes grow though. Only just started using it again cos I remembered how good it was, so I'll keep my eye on their progress but its been a few days now and they don't look any less stumpy than before :s

I know this might sound disgustingly greasy, but trust me on this one.
I don't know what made me decide to do this in the first place, but at some point I decided to start putting petroleum jelly all over my face at night before I went to bed. Literally you wake up with the softest skin in all the land!
I know it's a barrier cream and not a moisturiser, but I'm assuming it works because of the fact that your skin is repairing itself at night so by stopping anything else from getting to it, it repairs better? I don't know.
What I do know is that I have combination skin and blocked pores and it doesn't make me any greasier as long as I wash my face in the morning and it actually slightly opens my pores up. But more importantly its the nicest thing I've ever used on my skin.
I just use those little tins of Vaseline that are meant for your lips :)
