RIGHT? I hate anything with menthol or peppermint in it. I don’t need burning tingling feelings in my chapped lips or on my scalp, kthxbai

The EWG are borderline food-babes so I smell woo-reactionary-bullshit.

Chemicals and toxins, oh my!

In terms of simple barrier treatment for skin conditions, it really is the shit. We used to go through buckets of this stuff in the hospital. I’d swear some of the nurses must have been eating it, or taking it home for their kids.

It provides a delicious and nutritious coating for the inside of your trick-or-treat bag!

Everything is a chemical. Water is a chemical.

It’ll probably be the dihydrogen monoxide. ;-)

If you can stand it, slather your feet with lotion 1st, then apply Vaseline all over your feet, then put on a thick pair of crew socks. Sleep in them. Your feet will look like baby feet in the morning. If your callouses are in a workable spot, apply the Vaseline to the callous directly, then wrap a flex bandage around…

What constitutes a “chemical”? I just looked at the ingredient list on my lotion and there’s 17 things listed. Is C15-19 Alkane one chemical or multiple? Is water a chemical? Is this real life?

Once I told a snotty teen to put some Petrolatum jelly on his fresh tattoo and he said “No, the tattoo artist told me to use Vaseline.” /facepalm

My Mum swears by vaseline. She has absolutely terrible eczema on her hands, has had it since she was a kid, and the one thing she is always told to use by Dermatologists is vaseline. Sure, she slathers on her cortisone too (that stuff is heaven sent) but she has tubs of vaseline everywhere. She puts a heavy coat on at…

This reminds me of a time I was on the subway, going to work, minding my own business and putting lotion of my hands. A lady standing next to me shoved her hand in my face and wordlessly motioned for me to give her some lotion. Stunned by her boldness, I did, and she then rubbed it all over her kid’s face, chiding for…

Really started to use it over the past year after avoiding it due to the greasiness. I’ll get redness, drying, and cracking around my nose every winter. Moisturizers and baby oil had no positive impact. I use vaseline on my feet to hike and also around my nose and lips in winter. I finally used it for the drying and…

I put Vaseline on my lips every single night. I put it on my hands and elbows in the winter, and I put it on my cracked heels in the summer. Vaseline is the shit, and I will never give it up ever.

I also swear my Vaseline. I discovered it in HS and use it for my lips, mostly. I don’t like flavors on my lips and Vaseline is non-sticky and its shiny so it acts as a gloss. My step son will come to us from his mom’s house with the worst chapped lips, two nights sleeping with his lips covered in Vaseline and he is…

Most foundations end up being an spf15 just because they’re on your face... weird.

Skin cancer is no joke! I don’t want to have anything removed from my face - the thigh where the cancer was, and the neck where the suspected cancer was, were already unpleasant enough, thanks. :/

BE SURE THOSE EYE HOLES ARE COVERED WITH POLARIZED SUNGLASSES.

I have decided that well-done eyebrows are to your face what a manicure is to your hands. A seemingly small thing that takes you from “nice” to “looks perfectly put together” if they’re done right. Like, my entire face looked different when I started shaping my eyebrows and using an eyebrow filler.

Jadine said it was because she did not put a moisturizer with sunscreen on before the foundation, which was the number one reason makeup can feel heavy.
