Your mom sounds fabulous. May her soul rest.

11s aren't under your eyes so you probably look great just like your mother. I'm sure she was a lovely woman.

You don’t need to have botulism injected into your face! Aging gracefully is a privilege that many never experience.

it just might be genetics. The wrinkles under the eyes are from the way a person smiles, inherited features

Your mother sure was beautiful AND wise ("you never know what/who is coming around"...so wear that lipstick! 😍😍😍)

LOL, woof...meow

😂😂😂😂😂

I am sitting here with Vaseline and 500 cat hairs covering my face... the struggle is real

I’m dying laughing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I almost died laughing same here I have pets but I use it anyway 😂😂😂

Yes, thank you Arwen, that's super important information! Loving all of your videos Lauren.

I slug over my retinol and never had a reaction.

@꧁꧂kittycat꧁꧂ ! It may be that you have luck on your side. If you read below in the comments, a Nancy Downs explains how, one evening/night she applied a thin layer of vaseline over her retinol and woke up with face burn the next morning. It's definitely an area to excersize caution in, if slugging over retinol.

I use it over my actives (retinol, azelaic acid in the night and vitamin c in the morning), and no irritation. Once your skin is used to the actives you might be good to go. Everyone is different though. But I love it. 42 with dry and sensitive skin, and not a wrinkle in sight.

@@cantdecide2023 thanks for letting me know

I read that article too. I’ve used Vaseline around my eyes ever since

What a great idea! In my life, I never would have even thought of using beef tallow. I have a few reasons for not wanting to use petroleum jelly, but God bless those who do. I just looked into it, and this is only the very minimum/beginning of what I found: "Vitamins in tallow can help produce collagen. Vitamin E is known for its anti-aging properties. It helps stimulate blood flow to our skin, which increases collagen production, and helps prevent signs of aging. By increasing collagen production, you can keep your skin looking smooth and firm for longer". The multitude of vitamins in it, are what I've been looking for in a natural product. And it doesn't clog pores!☺️ I'm going to look into it more deeply, as well as the Egyptian Magic Balm, (I've never heard of it), as I have several troubling skin issues. Anyways, a BIG THANK YOU!☺️🌻 God bless💛

Is it as greasy on skin as Vaseline

That’s a great idea! I tried Egyptian magic balm once but it was so greasy I didn’t like it, but I like the idea of using it to lock in over my Retinol. Thank you

@@eyeshalfwayopeneyeshalfway2603 Yes, pretty much! Lol

I also get grass finished suet and make tallow for my skin🖤 I whip mine up and it comes out super fluffy and light.. I love how it soaks in your skin and not greasy once it’s dry..

The phrase "old skin" just cracks me up... My mom jus turned 68 and referred to her "old skin" last time I was with her 😂 When you take care of it, it seems like skin hardly ages!

Hey can you share what facial exercises you have in your routine?

@@vector3d654 You can check out "face exercises" right here on KZfaq. I began with Faceaerobics (with Peta), but got to where I could do the exercises without the hand placements suggested in Peta's videos. I do them more isometrically. P.S. Any/all face exercises are more efficient if you do them lying down either before sleep, or in the morning, before you get up. Good luck! :)

Is it okay if I just use Vaseline and no other creams??? Because I don't like using stuff on my face

@@SirenMeow Yes: that's the beauty of it--you really don't 'need' anything else for creams. The only other thing I do is exfoliate my face, neck and hands 2x/week with a 'Buff Puff'.

It doesn’t cause milia then ? Always my worry …

@@palomaIreland wondering the same thing

@Paloma King I'm super prone to milia and Vaseline is the ONLY thing that doesn't cause it for me. I have used it every day for 10 years. Sometimes 3 times a day.

@@saraho6799 oh really!! Thank you 🙏

Have you gotten Breast Cancer yet ?

Makes me think of the story of the man who invented it. Said he covered himself in a thick layer to cure himself of ailments.

Eartha Kitt was a goddess! Applying it after washing/bathing to WET clean skin is important! No dirt & seals in the moisture 😊

I met Eartha once and she was just the nicest, most calm and cheerful person. The best beauty hack is a good heart.

I think it's been a long-term skin care practice in the Black community; most of my friends who have great skin and are Black have mentioned using Vaseline (they didn't always call it slugging, at least not when explaining it to me).

I’ve been doing it for years w olive oil and Vaseline

Marilyn was a ginger and her face and body was covered with freckles I read her interview she said: vaseline, nivea and lots and lots of powder to make freckles dissapear So, no way that she just used vaseline on her pictures to make her facehair shine

Marilyn was not a ginger, her natural hair color was brown not red. Also I have read in numerous biographies about her and numerous makeup artists also said she used Vaseline and the effect on the baby hairs on her face did indeed make a glow on photos.

​@@jeanesingsjazz yep you can see pictures of her when she was young she was naturally blonde but went brunette like many of us when we got into our teens.

@@sansiveria578 so you knew her personally?

​@@jeanesingsjazz I've read both- some people say she had red hair, some people say brown. From the pictures I've seen (before she started dying her hair blonde) to me her hair looked auburn. A light reddish brown. 🤷‍♀️

Hi!!!! My mom did the same!! 80s skincare had a few gems after all 😂

@@lauren.o.connell That's great. I want to add it to my skincare routine as well. May I know when I should apply-before applying serum or after as a moisturiser or just the vaseline alone. Your reply would mean a lot to me. Thank you. ✨🌻

@@Moonwalker_Forever after- so it can seal all those other things you mentioned in. When it dries, add your final spf step

@@onewingangel1117 Thank you so much for your time and kindness. TC & Stay Beautiful! 🌻✨

@@lauren.o.connell Is this method ok for breakoutprone skin aswell? Do you find that a oil works equally well as vaseline for slugging or is vaseline better?❤

You can use sunscreen and go in the sun, you just have to apply it every 2 hours and a generous amount. But yes, always cover the face no matter what.

I've been doing this all My life

Shes had work done as well plus botox

I AGREE. I love her skin. Sunscreen all the way!

@@DeceptiveKadence celtic didn't wnt to hear that, she wants to believe in miracles

Don't do that !!!!!! Vaseline is petrolatum petroleum jelly!!! Olive oil is amaizing!! Full of vitamins and antioxidants!!!!

Exactly, you said what I was looking for! And not such a great idea putting petroleum products on your face🤔

It's a wound healer and based to MANY beauty products ​@@vipa3825

@@vipa3825yep, her forehead doesn’t move.

@@vipa3825actually I have a online friend that uses this as a moisturizer her whole life this she’s in her 40s and no wrinkles

@@oliviamartini9700 Oh really :( Well that negates everything else she says then really

These higher numbers (age) kind of sneak up on us🤣

Yesssss

Yes she does lol

You would want to put the olive oil on first and massage it into the skin then put the vaseline over it as the olive oil will not be able to penetrate the vaseline to get into the skin if you mix them together/use the vaseline first.

Could you please share how you use it ? Do you only apply it at night or during the day too ?

@newcatherine153 I use a very thin layer over my moisturizer and under my makeup during the day. All over my face. I do the same at night after I wash my face, but the layer I use is a little thicker, and I make sure to get my neck.

!? It’s a petroleum left over!!!

Ha that’s what I was thinking, def going to give it a try

I recently started "slugging" at 63 and can already see a difference - my skin has a glow

Yes, I too prefer to slug with a Vaseline alternative because I personally care for cleaner skin care ingredients. Vaseline is literally petroleum jelly, anyone who cares to google how it’s processed from petrol may want to use another alternative but then again, maybe not 😁

Yeah, I use hyaluronic acid, squalene, cold pressed castor oil, and raw Vit E for my slugging and then do five mins with my red light therapy mask to help it absorb.

I would never put a petroleum product on my face. I have seen doctors on u tube say it causes cancer, I mean I have large pores, I could imagine forever clogged pores. My dermatologist tells me to put Vaseline on a skin cancer scar I have.., ugh no thank you, I’ll use bio oil on my scar.

@@sharonfike5379 beef tallow is where it’s at!! Coconut oil can be drying to some. And it scores high for being comedogenic on the face. Beef tallow is superb, it’s what the Native Americans used. They had bison tallow tho too, which is REALLY good also💰😅

I've found jojoba oil (Trader Joe's) to work in a similar way. There's also Lucas' Pawpaw Ointment.

I'm 24 and suffer from acne. Im big on skin care but I don't want my face breaking out by using Vaseline. The coconut didn't break you out?

Hello Bridget😊

Same my aunt is almost 80 and looks 60. I have oily acne prone skin so I can’t use Vaseline. One good thing about oily skin is you tend to have less wrinkles and age gracefully ❤

Hello maria😊

I use castor oil as well. Or sometimes I'll use a combo of olive oil, rosemary oil, avocado oil and castor oil. As long as I use natural oil I'm good.

You can actually put it in your eyes. It is supposed to help cure insomnia.

@@Violet-qf8dr - Good to know. When I commented on a video for dry eyes, I kind of got scolded, so I assumed full strength castor oil wasn't supposed to be put in the eyes. That it needed to be mixed with other substances like in eye drops. I'm in the process of looking more into the benefits of castor oil for eyes, hair, and skin. I'm finding some very interesting information. Found a video that says it will get rid of stretch marks a couple of years old or less. And it will help with belly fat when rubbed on the stomach area. Back to digging.

@@rickimcfarland2269 - I just saw a suggestion to mix half and half castor oil and coconut oil to help with the castor oil's stickiness. So, I think I'm going to start using both together on my eyes from now on.

I also just learned that putting castor oil on the eyelids does help with dry eye, and the dryness of the eyelids can lead to dry eye. So glad I learned about castor oil and coconut oil. I used them both, plus Vaseline to get rid of the dermatitis on my eyelids, and to see there are so many benefits of using it is amazing.

Mine did too,but i switched to the blue tin one and it doesnt with this,no idea why

I've been watching carnivore videos and that diet completely clears up acne. Maybe you can find food triggers - guessing ditching seed oils, wheat, and sugar would help a lot.

Try quitting all dairy. It will change your life. Best thing I ever did for myself after trying everything and spending thousands. It took about three months for my skin to heal. And then only got a pimple when I got my period but the painful ugly blemishes never came back. I’m 43 and people think I’m 28. Best beauty secret ever.

Thanks for the suggestion, guys. Unfortunately, I can't afford to eat better at the moment.

And once the kids are grown & gone here come the dogs🤣

It’s time for bed dahling! I’m going to frost my face with the finest of luxury whipped creams! 🎉

When you learn about the many snail mucin products and your feelings change. Point is snail mucin is wonderful to the skin.

Posers? 😂 it’s just skincare, I’m glad people are caring for themselves. Maybe check in with yourself there

@@chee8572 it’s not meant to be serious! I’m joking to!! But yeah I have so many snail creams as well and I just kind of sandwich them because my skin is still so dry. I actually prefer vaniply by vanicream or Lucas paw paw cream to slug with, and have a more lighter cream and serum sandwiched between them.

Hi,which scar cream do you use?

📌

Interested in this, too.

Silver and other scar creams can have serious side effects, including: signs of infection (such as sore throat that doesn't go away, fever, chills), easy bruising/bleeding, signs of anemia (such as unusual tiredness/weakness, rapid breathing, fast heartbeat), signs of kidney problems (such as change in the amount of urine, pink/bloody urine), signs of liver problems (such as nausea that doesn't stop, stomach/abdominal pain, vomiting, dark urine, yellowing eyes/skin), mental/mood changes.

I did that and ended up with three small keratine lumps under my eyes that I have to get rid of. Be careful.

Which product do you use from Weleda

@@Julia-kg5vu Weleda Skin Food (the dark green one) in Winter and Skin Food Light (the light green one) in Summer as night cream on top of retinol and any essences, sometimes I am too tired and just put on Skin Food, and it's great. I have acne prone skin that used to be oily, but also dry patches. If I get some acne I take a break or just put on Phytoretinol and essences, as I said, I often get random break outs when the weather suddenly gets hot.

Which is probably why she said that you put on your moisturizer first and then put on the Vaseline to make sure that it has nowhere else to go.

@@MakeWay4CJ absolutely!

I was wondering about the pores clogging! I need to try it tho

Vaseline got zero pore-clogging ability. Looks up " comedogenjc rating " . It's zero ( meaning can't clog the pores)

Is this why i ended up with like fluid pouches under my eyes!? I put vaseline on my lashes (not my face) before bed once, just a light layer, top and bottom and when I woke up in the morning, usually where I have flat skin or some times just dark circles (but still flat) were pouchey bags of like puffy fluid - I was horrified. Luckily through the day it went away but I was so shocked to wake up and see these 3D puffy bags of like fluid under my eyes!!!

What’s a&d? You look great for 50.

What about tretinoin. Heard good things and want to try that as well

@Celtic girl- good point 👍 I always clean my hands before applying any skin care and cosmetics

Put your hair in a braided bun

I just put my hair back in a braid & wear a cloth headband to keep my curtian bangs back. I'm 29 with very dry skin, slugging is great!

Someone said to not use vaseline while using retinol

Vaseline is an oclusor so it magnifies the ingredients that you layer it on over. I use it at night and I just use my moisturizer and vaseline and retinol in the morning and I've had 0 problems.

There are actually two dermatologists here on YT that mention using Vaseline in slugging routines. If you are sensitive to retinol, then no…you wouldn’t want to seal it in with Vaseline. I use 1% tretinoin (very potent) and slug with Vaseline…not a single issue. I’m 42, and my skin just keeps getting better. Every person I’d unique and needs to find what works for them.

Never slug on top of retinoids!

Shit girl .. I'm 27 and have mini forehead wrinkles coming in from stress 😬 😢

I miss 49! Hardly a wrinkle then. 58 stinks!
