Want that highly sought-after ‘glass skin’ glow without the expense of luxury serums? This viral Vaseline hack is a popular budget-friendly secret for achieving a dewy, hydrated look. It’s a simple method gaining traction for its potential to support intensely moisturized and smooth-looking skin.
Quick Recipe
Prep time: 2 minutes
Best for: Dry or dull-looking skin, achieving a dewy, hydrated appearance
Use type: Topical Balm/Occlusive Layer
Main ingredients:
- Vaseline (Petroleum Jelly)
- Your regular moisturizer
Ingredients
- A small amount of Vaseline Petroleum Jelly (or Vaseline Cocoa Butter Moisturizing Jelly as seen in the image)
- Your preferred hydrating facial moisturizer or serum
How to Make It (Prepare for Application)
- Start with a clean face. Gently wash your face with your usual cleanser and pat it dry.
- Apply your regular hydrating toner, serum, and moisturizer as you normally would. Allow these products to fully absorb into your skin for a minute or two.
- Once your skin feels slightly tacky but not wet from your moisturizer, you’re ready for the next step.
How to Use It
- Take a pea-sized amount of Vaseline on your fingertip. Remember, a little goes a long way.
- Gently warm the Vaseline between your fingertips to make it easier to spread.
- Lightly dab and spread the thin layer of Vaseline over your entire face, focusing on areas prone to dryness or where you want an extra dewy look. Avoid rubbing vigorously; aim for a light, even coating.
- Allow the Vaseline to sit on your skin overnight. It acts as an occlusive barrier, helping to seal in moisture and your previously applied skincare products.
- In the morning, cleanse your face as usual to remove any excess Vaseline. Your skin should feel soft, hydrated, and appear more dewy.
