Within 40 seconds, the Vaseline started to melt. My eyebrows and mascara crawled down my face like they were trying to enter my mouth, and my eyes felt so heavy, I squinted like Rob Lowe in Behind the Candelabra. I looked like a melting chicken—40 minutes later there was no way to stop all the makeup from mixing until I looked like the lead singer of a Misfits cover band. So I gave up. I removed the Vaseline from my face and accepted I could never relish in a bedazzled jar of petroleum jelly like Tyra Banks—she can get away with smearing herself with Vaseline, because she's a supermodel, a genetic freak.
I'm a five-foot-zero Middle Eastern hybrid who would probably look like a Monchhichi doll if I lost my razor. But when I woke up, I no longer looked like Rob Lowe. I looked like Tyra in the made-for-television movie Life-Size , when she teaches a young Lindsay Lohan that you don't need a mom if you have a life-size doll named Eve —my face was so smooth.
One hour with dirty Vaseline on my face had given me the skin women pay hundreds of dollars for. I smeared refined petrochemicals on my face on the advice of a woman who once instructed an entire nation to kiss her fat ass , and I won. Celebrities as Food. Sign In Create Account. Although she did grow a thin layer of little baby-fine blonde hairs on her face for using hormone cream all of those years, it just added to her glow in the studio lighting.
I have very dry and red skin under just ONE of my eyes go figure and have to be very careful when it comes to putting creams, etc. Vaseline did do wonders for my undereye skin, however the next day my eye makeup would all come off!!
Especially my mascara I read once of a certain way to apply Vaseline to the face for the best result. After washing your face, rub a small amount of Vaseline with water in the palm of your hands. Really rub to warm it up. You'll basically have a film of it on your fingers and palms. Then you gently pat your face while it is still damp.
I personally am going to stick with my ACDE and squalane, but if I was stuck with nothing else to use, I would give the Vaseline a try. But I keep getting compliments on my skin, so something must be working! The only thing I have ever used it for was to remove eye makeup when there was no other alternative. Aquaphor is basically overpriced vasoline.
I would never use it as a moisturizer personally. My mom used vaseline her whole life and always had soft beautiful skin. She never did show her age--even after the effects of chemo and radiation. My daughter's dermo recommends aquaphor. Several of my friends have indicated that their dermos do also. I am prone to dry skin and sometimes aquaphor is the only thing that heals and normalizes it in the dead of winter.

Ladies you must read some of the cosmetic journal references on ingredients. These are the sources I always refer to when I question an ingredient. You guys!!!! This makes me so angry, sorry. I completely appreciate this effort, since there are a lot of ingredients out there scare people and that are completely anodyne.
BUT mineral oil is not one of them. There is just as much independent online research proving quite the opposite of what SusieQ and Molly claim. I'm not afraid of oils. I think my obsession with moisturizing is one of the reasons I've held onto not looking my age. My mom taught me to lotion every part of my body right after I get out of the shower or out of the bath before your skin dries up.
So the buttocks, the boobs, the back, legs I look like a Cirque du Soleil performer when I'm moisturizing. I wash my makeup off before I go to bed And back in the day when I wasn't wearing non-comedogenic makeup, I'd break out, so I really feel beautiful doing the ritual of washing off my makeup.
Though it only stuck around for a year, Tyra covered a lot of topics pertaining to beauty. It makes us look older. Thick and healthy eyebrows will transform your face! On another episode of FABLife , Tyra offered one of her secrets to camouflaging a tired appearance: red lipstick.
