October 14, 2003Petroleum Jelly on your Face?If you want to know a secret, here is one that Health Spas use and it has everything to do with moisturizing your face. Wash as you normally do and then rub in just a dab of petroleum jelly. The trick is to keep your face damp until the jelly has been evenly spread. It should not appear greasy. You will be amazed at how soft your face will feel. **I had only heard about this practise, so I decided to try it for myself. I wanted to see how it would spread and if it did feel greasy to the touch. Amazingly enough, it didn't. I did use just a tiny little bit however. I can imagine that it would feel horribile if you used too much. At this time of year, the more moisture we can seal into our skin, the better. |
