Vaseline is a brand of petroleum jelly that has been used for years to help with skin moisturizing and healing. Applying Vaseline under the eyes is a tried-and-tested way to lock in moisture, keeping skin in the eye area soft and elastic, and rejuvenating skin that looks dry and tired. Here are some details about using Vaseline under the eyes:
Positive:
- Vaseline is an occlusive substance, meaning that it forms a layer on the skins surface that can effectively block moisture loss, keeping skin hydrated and healthy.
- Applying Vaseline under the eyes can provide some of the same hydrating effects as your go-to eye cream, especially when its paired with a moisturizing cream.
- Vaseline is safe to use around the skin of your eyes and on your eyelashes.
Negative:
- Vaseline doesnt contain ingredients that combat fine lines and wrinkles, such as retinoids or peptides.
Ingredients or materials:
- Vaseline is made of 100 percent purified white petrolatum.
- Vaseline Healing Jelly Original is lipophilic, meaning it will only dissolve in fats and oils.
Its important to be careful when applying any product to the eye area and to follow the directions on the label. If you accidentally get any Vaseline in your eye, dont worry. Vaseline Healing Jelly Original is lipophilic, meaning it will only dissolve in fats and oils. The layer of moisture that protects your eye will stop the jelly from dissolving. Simply wipe away any excess with a damp washcloth.
