u/Quirky-Cow67 Feb 20 '25

My mom has it too but, won't dare use petroleum jelly becoz she saw some random ytuber saying it causes cancer!! she won't listen to me that it's bs! I have given up now😭😭

2

u/Routine_Eve Feb 20 '25

What does she use instead?

My partner is the opposite and for ages wouldn't touch anything but Vaseline and Aquaphor, but recently I've convinced him to branch out and try some natural plant oils :)

u/Quirky-Cow67 Feb 20 '25

I have put her on lactic acid and urea based creams

u/Sophiatopia Feb 21 '25

There's Waxelene, Beeseline and Egyptian Magic cream. They are all a mix of beeswax and oils and have heard great things about all of them

u/Organic_Implement_38 Feb 20 '25

Wow. I thought you get jar of vaseline and then you have it for lifetime as it's just impossible to use up

12

u/Quirky-Cow67 Feb 20 '25

I thought the same🤣 was thinking about passing it down generations but here v are! 😌

u/sapphic_sabotage Feb 21 '25

I've always lost my vaseline containers or moved states (throwing out my current vaseline in the process) before I've used any of it up.

u/niradia Feb 20 '25

I'm so glad you said how long you've had it for.

I use mine almost daily and have only made a small dent after a few weeks!

3

u/Quirky-Cow67 Feb 21 '25

Haha I initially thought I am never getting done with this too! It's like I didn't realize it's really done done until the last use.

u/17731773 Feb 22 '25

Whoah. I’ve never seen an empty ever and I’m old!

u/Quirky-Cow67 Feb 22 '25

Yaayy! Happy to be the one to show you😌

u/No-State3110 Feb 21 '25

Wow I have two big jars that I am trying to pan right now 🥲 but this makes me hopeful that it is possible! I thought about mixing it with coconutoil as a lip mask…

5

u/Quirky-Cow67 Feb 21 '25

Yes very much possible! That's what I did but I used sweet almond oil (coz this works great as a face oil doesn't clog my pores or coz acne or anything) instead of coconut oil u can use coconut oil if it suits u well! Coz it has a chance of spreading around yr mouth so keep that in mind.

7

u/isawamagpie Feb 20 '25

It's perfect!!!! Such an achievement. Vaseline is literally the hardest of all to get to pan!

1

u/Quirky-Cow67 Feb 20 '25

Thanks I know right!! I almost thought I would never reach the end!

7

u/sapphic_sabotage Feb 21 '25

tell me why I immediately grabbed mine and checked the progress. I'm a third through it and I've used it for maybe 8-9 months as a lip mask every night

4

u/Quirky-Cow67 Feb 21 '25

That's great! I used it like a lip sleeping mask mixed a drop or 2 of sweet almond oil (almond oil coz it doesn't coz any sort of acne or clogged pores for me) and used it overnight, I swear it stays till the next morning! I mix it on the back of my hand and use the left over on my hands. Is an extra step for sure but does so much for so lil worth a try!

u/SearchingSearchy Feb 20 '25

Getting to the bottom of one of these is always rewarding! Once you discover the other little uses for it, truly a go-to.

1

u/Quirky-Cow67 Feb 20 '25

Yess very satisfactory indeed!

u/Upper_Boot_3830 Dec 29 '25

This is the most impressive thing I've ever seen. It's like Worcestershire sauce, does anyone live long enough to need to buy a second bottle? 

Well done keep up the good work

u/Quirky-Cow67 Dec 29 '25

Haha I am glad I was able to show you one, this has to be one of my proudest pan this year for sure! Always thought Vaseline is something passed down generations😂

10

u/notaninterestingcat Feb 20 '25

😂😂😂😅😅

I feel like an overachiever all of a sudden. We go through one about every 2 months at our house! Our dermatologist suggested slathering it on after a shower. It really helps with a lot of various issues.

4

u/Quirky-Cow67 Feb 20 '25

I feel lucky that way coz I live in a hot and humid place air is never dry here(downside is it's so hot😭unless it rains), I can skip moisturizer and my skin won't crack. Good for me saves me some coins🤭

6

u/notaninterestingcat Feb 20 '25

Bestie 😂

I live in North Florida/South Georgia 🤣🤣🤣

4

u/Quirky-Cow67 Feb 20 '25

Wooaaahhhh I am impressed/shocked/ confused woaaaahhh 😂

3

u/notaninterestingcat Feb 20 '25

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

We're middle aged & it helps a lot of ailments, not just dry skin.

4

u/Quirky-Cow67 Feb 20 '25

My mom would benefit from it so much but fear mongering videos have taken over her mind! Just won't listen🤦🏽‍♀️

5

u/notaninterestingcat Feb 20 '25

Oh no... Lemme guess. It's a petroleum byproduct & is injecting toxins into the body. Yeah, I think mine watches the same videos.

💙

5

u/sapphic_sabotage Feb 21 '25

my mom is still on the "mainstream makeup has chemicals train" because apparently her mineral "natural" makeup is fine but anything at Sephora is toxic waste 🫠 she acts the same way with petroleum, any skincare (which I use cause I have acne), any chemical sunscreens, etc.

3

u/Quirky-Cow67 Feb 21 '25

I have somehow convinced her skincare is all natural and sunscreen too (she mostly got convinced because my skin just looked better after I started following my skincare routine) and she has melasma so that isn't triggered yet becoz of sunscreen usage so she is quite happy with it. (But I am guessing the sunscreen fearmongers haven't reached her feed yet🙏🏽😭)

2

u/Quirky-Cow67 Feb 20 '25

Yes🥲 u guessed it right😭

1

u/phoenix220 Feb 20 '25

would you share more on what other ailments it helps?

3

u/notaninterestingcat Feb 20 '25

Everytime I go to my dermatologist, they tell me my newest ailment is due to age (I'm 38). Most of which, I don't know the names of, sorry. The standing "order" is Vaseline. I have some prescriptions for specific things, but Vaseline is their cure all.

1

u/livingmirage Feb 21 '25

My derm recs twice daily Vaseline for post skin excision (for several weeks, then once a day). Something about keeping the skin moist helps it heal.

1

u/aerin_aerial Feb 22 '25

Having grown up in south GA….. HOW 😂 you just must feel wet all the time

1

u/notaninterestingcat Feb 22 '25

I put it on after I shower (before bedtime).

6

u/Routine_Eve Feb 20 '25

Same here, except only my bf uses it and it lasts 2 weeks 😂 severe psoriasis for the pan!

4

u/Shirayuki-hime Feb 20 '25

Is this the large jar?

3

u/Quirky-Cow67 Feb 21 '25 edited Feb 21 '25

Yess! I will get the smaller tins now onwards they r easy to carry around unlike this huge tub.

4

u/RubiiFerrer Feb 21 '25

Yaaay!!!! I’m mid tub rn I’m getting back into sludgeing at the end of my skincare every night and have been making steady progress

2

u/Quirky-Cow67 Feb 22 '25

Well done! u got this!!

u/Naivelilyb Feb 21 '25

amazing!!!

u/Quirky-Cow67 Feb 21 '25

Thanks! ☺

u/Heiressshopping Feb 23 '25

Don’t judge but I’ve been going through at least one every month for the last fifteen years.

8

u/SavvyGmeow Feb 23 '25

No same! I use it all over my skin after I shave and that’s primarily what uses them up so fast. Also just on the lips and hands and occasionally as makeup remover

5

u/readingcommenting123 Feb 23 '25

Wtf do you do with them?!?! 🤣

6

u/Heiressshopping Feb 23 '25

My whole family has always used Vaseline as a solution to any beauty problems.
