I am torn between two sides to an argument on vaseline : DOES IT CLOG PORES IF APPLIED TO FACE?
Yes. Why would you put a petroleum product on your body? There are so many vegetal (plant) based products on the market that are natural and so much kinder to your skin.
Reply:you know i use to use Vaseline and i never had clogged pores but i started to use natural oils like extra virgin olive oil and it made my skin look very nice and it gave me the moisture i need and now when i take showers and dry my skin has a natural shine to it and I'm not as ashy when i let my skin dry completely. you can buy extra virgin olive oil at a 99 cent store they always have some there. you can also try oils like


sunflower, hemp, jojoba will work pretty much everywhere.


For deeper moisturizer , use solid oil like coconut, palm or shea butter.








PS extra virgin olive oil works great on hair too
Reply:Clean your skin before applying the Vaseline. This should prevent the Vaseline from trapping dirt and oil in your pores. I would not recommend Vaseline as a long term solution to dry skin. It will help chapped skin heal, but can appear greasy and spread to your clothes and bedsheets. After your skin has healed, switch to a strong night time moisturizer. I like Oil of Olay Night time Regenerist. It claims work for wrinkles and fine lines, but I find it can moisturize my skin and doesn't cause breakouts, so I use it even though I am too young to be worried about wrinkles.
Reply:Don't do it. It does clog pores.
Reply:Vaseline is petroleum oil. so yes, it does clog your pores.
