A good ‘skincare’ routine has great benefits for maintaining the health of our skin. It is good for our face to take care of the skin properly, preventing irritations, dryness problems and acne breakouts. Using different products constantly, our skin will age more slowly, and one of the aspects that worries us the most in this area is eye contour.

The use of Vaseline around the eyes has become popular on TikTok. This product is a mineral grease with cream format and moisturizing and lubricating properties. Ricardo Ruizdermatologist, explains that this ingredient Moisturizes the skin and is present in many cosmetics.

“It produces a barrier that prevents it from losing water; that is why Vaseline is said to have an occlusive action. In addition, forms a layer that protects from the entry of microorganisms and other particles, something very useful against infections“In fact, it is considered by many to be the most moisturizing product on the market. Vaseline has been used for chapped lips, but has never been a popular eye remedy until now.

Pedro Lozanoan expert in dermocosmetics, has given his opinion on the matter: “It doesn’t make much sense to use it as a treatment, but it does make sense as a moisturizer or as a moisture retainer. That is to say, the Vaseline is going to do an occlusive action to prevent the area from dehydrating, but I always recommend that you use an eye contour beforehand. If you can have some treatment with certain assets such as vitamin C, hyaluronic acid or even retinal in these areas, and apply Vaseline on top of that, because we retain much more moisture“.

In addition, the use of Vaseline on oily skin could clog the pores due to being so oily. “Also, if you have a tendency to have small milium cysts (those mini white balls that sometimes appear due to keratin accumulation) I would not recommend it, because more can come out”.
