There are many benefits of Vaseline. Of that we have no doubt. It’s one of those multipurpose products that can help us a lot in our daily beauty routine in order to maintain soft and beautiful skin. However, one of the latest trends that is being seen is its use to treat bags and dark circles.
For this reason, we have gotten down to work and have asked those who know the most about skin care, such as our dear Eduardo Senante, owner of the Senante Pharmacy, who has given us a lot of keys on the use of this product. in such a localized area of our face as is the contour of the eyes.
And it is that, you already know that lately thanks to TikTok and other social networks, there are many tricks that are launched into the air, some of which may work and others that may not. Thus, among that popular wisdom Some say that the use of Vaseline fulfills the same objectives as an eye contour (even high end).
And this can be? Here is the question that Eduardo Senante helps us to unravel and that we could summarize in a “Yes but no”. Thus, the first thing he tells us is that the use of an eye contour is aimed at making the area softer, more hydrated and nourished, more plump so that wrinkles are not noticeable, and it is true that this can be achieved with the use of Vaseline. However, Be careful because all that glitters is not gold.
The function of Vaseline is to be an occlusive agent, that is, it retains moisture, but you have to do it right. And it is that if we have dull skin, little hydrated… we could apply the specific product first of the eye contour with hyaluronic acid, glycerin… and then apply a small amount of Vaseline to prevent moisture loss. In this way we can achieve good results.
Yes indeed, Vaseline itself Vaseline does not have anti-aging or antioxidant functions as they do assets such as Vitamin C, retinol… We can improve appearance at the moment, but it doesn’t treat.
Therefore, as #claroclarinete Eduardo tells us: Vaseline is not the miracle of Lourdes, although it can improve the hydration of the areaalthough we have to do it well, that is, we have to apply it as an occlusive agent previously using a specific product that provides that moisture and hydration. In this way (and no other) we can achieve a greater volume in the area, as well as a better appearance of wrinkles, bags and dark circles.
Yes indeed, advises us against the use of this technique in all those cases in which we are people who tend to have milium, those small white balls that appear on the skin that are balls of white fat that are quite unsightly. And it is that Vaseline can clog the pore and generate these cysts that are later difficult to eliminate.
And as a recommendation, Eduardo Senante tells us that the best option would be to Aquaphor from Eucerin Laboratories (14.95 euros) which is a petroleum jelly that has moisturizing ingredients such as glycerin and also has soothing agents such as panthenol. It is very economical and it is an improved Vaseline.
