I'm really tickled by the terms mainstream comes up with for these we have been doing for GENERATIONS 🤣

@@ericamarie8437 lol things we’ve seen or had in the kitchen. I’m 46 now and still have a glow

You mean oily

@@solarlola5953 no I don’t

I got introduced to Vaseline from my African friends. They have the best skincare. I apply it before I sleep and I’m glowing the next day.

I'm glad you're ok wendy. You're strong!

Good tip to share. Glad you're doing better.. God bless you 😊

I used Cereve moisturizer when I had chemo. As I woke up with dry patches on my skin. After just the first chemo treatment

Yes! And tons of coconut oil. After radiation my shoulder is leathery and itchy. It was an exit point when they radiated my chest.

🙏❤️ thank God your better.

Did she look younger then her age?

I just watched a video of this slugging thing and I'm like wait my grandma taught me this

Let's keep it real. In the African American community growing up we use Vaseline for Decades, we use on our legs, arms basically our whole body, this ain't new. Everything New ain't New!

@@lindahawkins723 It’s honestly one of the many things that a white girl on tik tok slaps another name onto and goes viral. It’s messed up.

Haha yes we have been doing it for decades

I do it for sunburns over aloe oil. I didnt even know it was a thing. I thought I made it up lol

So weird that the ad before this video started was for Aquaphor products. The moment I. Read the word aquaphor in your comment is the exact moment the narrator of the commercial said the same word

What is slugging

@@Belfastboi 1:05

Same

What a good mama you had....

Yup, protects against wind burn

It’s a little blanket for your skin in the cold 😂

Omg I do that to my 2 boys now . Lol moms knows best haha…

Yes, this is nothing new! Been doing it for 40 years!

No it doesn't. It makes your lips feel good for 5 minutes and then makes them _even more dry_ in the long run. Look up the science. This stuff DOES NOT HELP.

@@detectivewiggles its actually really good in creating a layer of protection on your lips. Basically, nothings gets in to irritate it and nothing gets out. When i had a crazy lip allergic to something that made my lips tingle, swell, and burn, i was told by my derm to place the ointment then follow it up with aquaphor :)

LOL...yep, I grew up learning to do this too.

I just recently discovered Aquaphor because of some dermatitis & dyshidrotic eczema I had. It healed both SO quickly & easily, I now use it regularly for sunburns, scrapes, as a lip moisturizer, and for general skin dryness. I swear by it & recommend it all the time. Tho after watching this vid, I’ll make sure to let people know about the lanolin & the risk of allergy there.

I use it for my tattoos. Works well with itchiness and preventing it from drying and cracking.

105?? Miss m'am! This means she was born in 1918... wow

can you provide more details on how her skin looked? I may try it myself!

@@danielkim7841 she had very few fine lines and wrinkles. She looked like she was in her 70s at time of death

Flawless? Really?

I’m 31 and have been using ponds and sealing it with aquaphor since high school! The ponds feels so good on my skin. I’ve tried so many other creams and nothing else compares. 😊

How is it working? Have you seen any positive changes in your skin?

@@ashlynm997 My goal was never to achieve positive changes in my skin. My goal has been to keep my skin as hydrated and moisturized as possible from the outside. I'm 69 years old. I look about ten years younger than that, but that has more to do with genetics than anything else. Do I have fewer wrinkles than I otherwise would? There's no way to assess that. I've simply tried to look my best at any age, and I think I've succeeded. For all I know, this skin care regimen has had little to no effect. But it makes my skin feel good and well cared for. That's enough for me.

So many people think things like Vaseline and oils will moisturize your skin if you just put it right on dry skin (same with lip balm!) I've been telling people for years that you need to hydrate first and seal it in. I didn't know it was a beauty secret, I think it should be a basic concept we sorta all just know about. Anyone who asks how I'm 41 with no wrinkles has learned about slugging and sealing moisture in, I just didn't have a funny name for it 😂

I use Eucerin light on my body and you can also use that on your face because it is the light I put a little bit of water on my hands also with the lotion and I feel that it hydrates my skin what do you think? I use the use room light also on my body with water on my hands to put moisture in my skin I feel it helps but how do you feel about it being on my face?

🏃‍♀️ on my way to stock up on tubs of Vaseline. 😄

😂😂😂😂😂

Darn Rite!

Probably a good idea since they want to do away with petroleum :D

I'm nearing 47, but I wonder if I lose my 105 pounds, or maybe by the time I lose 70 of it, people will ask my son who will enter his 20s by then if I am his sister! 😂😂😂😂😂 Some already find it hard to believe I am not under 40...... Edit: But losing weight for me be about do not want to cause myself weight-related issues or have problems I bring upon myself when I get elder.

Really? 72 no wrinkles is miracle

@@btv914 yes she is blessed I’m 50 and it runs in family we look younger then we’re are . Grandfather was 95 you would have never new his age ..

My stepdad too and he’s 72 also. I always thought his nighttime Vaseline routine was weird.

@@bigmona2741 I hope I stay like that I’m 50 and none yet lol

@@marianalarkin3586 so I guess it’s just your genes and not really the slugging then?

It’s hard to find in Canada?

Don’t you guys have QV? It’s a very gentle skin care brand.

Thank you!

What I found that comes close to the cerave ointment is the Eucerin Aquaphor healing ointment. It has following ingredients petrolatum, mineral oil, Ceresin, lanolin alcohol, panthenol, glycerin, bisabolol.

@@claudiasalinas8046 yes, we have both products here in Toronto, and i use them. Probably Montreal as well but idk... will find out tomorrow when I go, will be looking for them just to see.

This!

Same same!! I actually just finished a week of steroid cream for my stupid eyelid dermatitis.

@@leahangel2949 Winter is the worst!!!!

I have this problem too! It just lingers.

Omg I just started having this problem 2 months ago. Idk what to do to control the itching in my eye lids😭 i can't even wear my eyeshadows. Idk what to wash my face with.😫 What do u guys use?

@@Skaleezay To try to get some relief on the cheap I'd suggest getting some vaseline, aquaphor healing ointment, or cerave healing ointment and use that morning and night if you can. It will keep in any moisture you have and keep anything else, like hair products, from irritating your eyelids. If you have insurance go see a dermatologist. I was given some steroid cream to use that really helped. I only had to use it for 3 weeks. Good luck!

Were u slugging or wearing sunscreen?

yadda yadda yadda you all say this crap. people have to ID you or else we get in trouble so don’t take that as a compliment. I can’t believe y’all still out here spewing this ID bs 🙄 and honestly without knowing your ethnicity why does any of your comment really matter?? 🤨 I bet you DO look 64. People say all types of bs to seem nice and like a good samaritan i wouldn’t buy anything they say.

👏👏👏

Yes, truly staying out of the sun is most important! I always tell that to young people.

What actives are you using in the eve before Vaseline ??

@Ami - yt - chan I'm sorry I don't quite understand your comment? I used to get horrible rashes mostly as a child. They haven't been so bad lately. The worst one I got as an adult was shortly after having my daughter back in 2016. I had a terrible breakout around my eyes, mouth, neck, and hands my skin was constantly cracking, bleeding, and weeping for 2 months straight until I got it under control. After that, I had to deal with really dark hyperpigmentation after it healed.

I have severe eczema as well. My doctor prescribed an ointment and put the aquaphor over it. Its very effective for me.

Ugh, we moved from the moist Texas coast to Arizona and I had NO IDEA how much the humidity had been aiding my skin (not just on my face, but all over). Since moving here, my skin aches from the dryness. It's crazy how large an impact one's environment has on the skin!

I live in the northeast and have dry skin. Winter is hell for my skin. Petroleum jelly is essential. I need to move to a humid region of the country.

@♔ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐦 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 ♔ Eczema does not always cause rashes. I was diagnosed with Keratosis Pilaris without bad rashes. I did one day look like I had a bad burn on my chest though it was not a burn in '15. I do have a thing where I am ready to tear my skin down and make my bones non-existent. I cannot wear even Dove or Secret deodorant and have to use cornstarch instead.

Consume collagen or hyaluronic acid

Dude serious question: how are you black and not already know this??

me too.

I had very textured skin on my face before I started using the healing ointment and now it's soft as a baby's butt!

It’s not black ppl do it so we don’t get ashy

Do you use it on top a moisturizer or straitght on Your face?

Can someone with oily face use it to clear pimples on face? Cerave ointment

I’m turning 60 next year and recently started using snail mucin daily and Lipikar Balm by La Roche Posay as the last step at night. My skin is softer and in better shape now than it was 25 years ago.

@@lillieberger2883 me too! I’ve added such an amazing 97% snail mucin moisturizer to my regimen within the last 2 months and my skin *completely* changed for the better in terms of staying hydrated and firm. I have extremely dry skin and have always had a really hard time finding the right products that would keep my skin moisturized in the harsh desert climate I live in. I also use Biossance omega repair cream on certain days. I was using that religiously until I stumbled upon the snail mucin moisturizer because it was the only other cream that works for me.

could you explain pls? my skin is oily

@@anavazquez6218 Your skin is likely oily because it’s trying to compensate for all of the harsh drying products you use. If you moisturize your oily skin, your skin will stop producing so much oil because it’s getting the moisture it needs from your products. My acne went away when I started moisturizing instead of using products to strip the oils. Same goes with oily hair; if it’s oily, it’s because you’re washing it too much and drying it out, so your body creates oil to compensate. Hope this helps!

@@anavazquez6218 what cheesentrees said. My skin was dehydrated but still oily unfortunately (diet can be a factor). I did find the dehydration was why I had annoying itching on my face tho. My one and only holy grail for oiliness so far is Peach Slices acne oil-free moisturizer.

@@cheesentrees2555 exactly. I stopped using mattifying and oily skin stuff and just started moisturizing well

Dehydrated * not dry

Correct, for me it is all about healing the skin

What do you use under the Vaseline

Should I use a retinol ?

Another great one

I love vanicream. I had this rash type thing on my face for a years. The only thing that would get rid of it was steroids. And I started using vanicream and it disappeared and never came back.

Serum, cream, and mask, at night on my face. My favorite night routine when I have the budget and time. I had the feeling it work. But around the eye area, the mask I used was getting dry during the night. I woke up several time in the morning with my skin glued/folded. The skin on that area is so thin, I had the feeling it was better to stop. But I like your routine. I will give it a try.

Vanicream is an outstanding skincare line!

@@jesussaves3781 i

Yes! I get terrible allergies and they affect my under eye area with either sunken bags, reg bag or darkish circles

Lady, this is NOT going to help your allergies. For the love of god, _don't put dinosaur juice on your skin._ It's toxic. USE SILICONE SCAR GEL. Unless they are instant and VERY severe allergies (ie you must use an epipen to recover), most allergies are caused _by longterm magnesium deficiency,_ which completely dysregulates your innate immune system

I wanted to chime in as a former allergy sufferer. I had allergies from college on and had to take a Zyrtec everyday of my life. I would get sinus infections yada yada … then I wanted to heal my gut and so in that process I eliminated dairy … well EVERY allergy went away!! My severe acne cleared up and I lost 70lbs in the process. It’s been almost 4 years and still NO ALLERGIES!! Occasionally as the season changes and there is a blustery day that carries tons of pollen etc. I will sneeze a few times and then my body just handles it and I never have to take anything and I’m totally normal. In healing my gut, I realized that allergies are a way of our body telling us that it is stressed and inflamed. What’s so amazing is that when we cleaned dairy out as a family, my 4 kids stopped having allergies, sleep issues, acne…. Amazing results!

Massagemassagemassage the whole face! Look up qigong massage and lymphe drainage. Almond oil gets rid of darkness. Now i use eye serum with it and than vaseline to get rid of the weird lines. It improved 94 % since i started doing this. Lots of water.

Tell us more about your feet care routine, please. I want healthy feet.

what rentinol you use

I have just started using retinol. My skin is often super dry so I will try the Vaseline mask after a week or two

How long do you keep the mask on for?

Do you put it on over your spf?

@@dianemorgan2892 I hear that you should moisturize first then put a little retinol then put moisturizer over top again this called the sandwich affect. I got this from Dr. Ranita Vattan check out her channel she's pretty amazing really cover every topic I had concerns about.

Hey, so I have the same issue and never thought about castor seed oil. Did you ever use accutane? Do you ever use a warm washcloth to slough off the dead skin from lips? If so, do you see if that makes a difference? I’m definitely going to try the cerave healing ointment on my lips and see what happens. I have been struggling with major skin peeling for years and years :(

@@Ave1821 I have never used accutane. Apparently castor seed oil is a pretty reactive ingredient and you can develop a sensitivity to it at any point in your life. I tried a warm washcloth, even purchased a nifty little silicone exfoliating brush that has fine nubs on one side and larger ones on the other to help with sloughing (available on Amazon). I was at my wit's end. Unbeknownst to me, every product that I was using to soothe my lips was secretly aggravating them because they ALL contained castor seed oil (beware of lanolin too). Within 48 hours of switching to just the Healing Ointment my lips had cleared up. It's been 9 months since and I have no issues - even got through winter without peeling. About a month ago I began applying a castor free lip color over the Healing Ointment and had zero reaction. Yay! Good luck with your journey to healthy lips 👄

Thanks. Never knew that about castor oil. Yes, I’m in love with the cerave healing ointment too. Know I know why.

Lol genetics

For dry lips vit e oil 28000 ui, does miracle

CeraVe was founded in 2006 though so what about the other 34 years..

@@thebestcdub3041 probably just Vaseline instead of CeraVe

Vasoline has helped my retinol work better too!!!

I tried this on my feet with thick socks. This gave me really soft baby feet for real

Price point matters. CeraVe SA cream is good on the feet too, and no need for the wooly socks.

Peter H do you use retinol first then Vaseline ?

How do you use it with retinol ?

you haven’t heard off it because its a new name

@@namjoonie936 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Same and only started using it because of my tattoo 😅

Are you still using retinol?

How do they look?

@@dearinsomniadontletthebedb9237 Better than they would have. I'm 58 and have Sjogren's and Hashimoto's, so my skin dries out pretty bad. But this has helped.

What ur opinion on dove irritation free contain petrolatum or petroleum eczema sensitive skin don't like feeling greasy which straight Vaseline

Sadly many people are allergic to pure shea butter, including myself. I get rash-like acne all over where I apply it, which takes a couple weeks to heal

@@aquietwild I’m so sad to hear that! The only hope may be that if you’re able to do an elimination diet (I did it with Tom Maltere’s book) you may be able to calm down skin sensitivities as this happened for me. I had severe allergies and took Zyrtec etc everyday of my life, had chronic cystic acne, couldn’t lose weight. Did an elimination diet process per this book and my acne cleared, allergies - skin and seasonal etc. disappeared, and I began quickly shedding 70 lbs! That was 4 years ago and I still have clear skin, no allergies, and have my figure back (in my 50’s) and my 4 kids now have no allergies either- for our family the culprit was mainly dairy. Bless you in your journey.

@@aquietwild Shea Butter comes from a nut, so the more pure or natural forms can actually work against people with nut allergies.

How do you make your own vitamin c and hyaluronic serums?

If I were to slug, I probably would use shea butter as well. I don’t like the idea of using petroleum jelly. It’s a byproduct from refining oil. Doesn’t seem good to put on your face.

Where do you get an rx with aloe vera combined?

@@pinklight911 My dermatologist orders it from a pharmacy that does custom compounding and then it gets shipped to me. Honestly, I have no idea what the pharmacy is called but it’s in Indiana.

Love your routine. Simple and to the point.

Are you aware that Vaseline is made of - petrolatum? It is super toxic and I can not believe that educated doctors are recommending this poison!

Try the ordinary glycolic acid toner

It’s brutal living in the desert (although I do love it here). I’ve grown in Utah, but spent every summer and winter holiday in Connecticut. Every time I would go out there, I would finally have soft skin without having to slather on lotion all the time- and when I’d come back, my elbows and the sides of my mouth would crack and bleed. Had horrible eczema growing up and it was all because of the desert air.

I start getting red, chafed skin within 24 hours after landing in Vegas for vacation! I start slathering on Fruit of the Earth Aloe Gel as soon as I get to the hotel. It completely prevents any chafing. I also put a small humidifier on the nightstand and pointing towards my head. I would never do well as a resident there.

How often do you do the prep H?

My grandmother told me this too. She had asked a friend about her beautiful skin and the woman’s secret was preparation H.

I'm doing the same because of tretinoin. Today I'm slugging for the first time, I hope it work for us!

🤞🏾🤞🏾

So you can use Tretinoin under it? I’m on tret/hydroquinone for melasma right now, and I really want to try it.

I did the same thing! 🤣

That stuff is amazing. My brother fix his weird dry patches on his back when nothing else was working. He couldn't believe that a nipple cream was able to fix it. Love it!

I used it during breastfeeding as well, regardless of the stench. It's amazing on new tattoos as well...regardless of the stench...

Me too! :)

Ditto!! Works fantastic for chapped lips!

What brand do you use please?

What brand do you use please ?

Dr said do not combine tretinoin with vaseline..??

Actually they said it could become irritating not that it definitely will! Especially if you have sensitive skin,but if you don’t then your mileage may very.

@@monicaduncan7109 Yes. Everyone’s skin is different. It can increase the chance of irritation but not necessarily.

@@barnes166 I do exactly the same as you, I have eczema and sensitive skin, and always top my skincare off with cerave healing ointment

I also apply an ointment after tretenoid. I think it depends on how long you’ve been using it, so much so that your skin is able to tolerate it.

Hi, my English is not good. I use Shea butter to prepare my own creams with natural herbs, and home made macerat...etc I start use Hada Labo before couple days, all colection - pls, can you expain me how you use Shea butter? As I undestand all product under butter, all over face? (Also for "slugging" hear first time now, but all my life vaseline is "holly grail" in familly ). I'm 40+, and I nead something stronger now . Is neutrogena good for wrinkles, maybe better opcion of Hada Labo? Just come into "buy beauty products", and start learn about. Thanks.

Fossil fuel isn’t it?

@@abarbaradorsey3713 tallow is kind of petroleum jelly but it came from the sebum of an animal, which is the same as the fossil fuel that we knew today.

My dentist does that before he starts working.

If you have a reaction to your toothpaste causing cracking in the corners or dried lips, check to see if it contains SLS. This ingredient is used by most toothpaste manufacturers to make the paste foam more in your mouth. It is a known irritant and is used in other soaps and shampoos. I switched to Sensodyne, which does not contain sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) , and the problem went away.

Reconsider your fluoride use...everyone...look up why you shouldn't ever consume fluoride 👍 Peace and Love to all ♥️

I only discovered this lately and more people should know about it, ingredient’s in toothpastes and mouth wash could cause alot of irritation to many people leaving them with dry lips and hyperpigmentation and they think it’s because they don’t drink enough water or its the weather

My daughter has atopic dermatitis, I'm really interested in this too...

I also have atopic dermatitis and now developed nummular eczema - mineral oil underneath Vaseline has been wonderful for me. I use mineral oil over my whole body and layer Vaseline on my flare up spots right after a shower to prevent future flare ups. Real world NP has a great video about treatments for atopic dermatitis!
