Body Care Tips

Your skin is a living, breathing, precious organ.

At Vaseline, we’re all about giving you the trusted formulations of products that nurture its continued health and keep it looking radiant.

Not only that, though. We also have the low-down on some savvy body care tips and hacks, so that should your Vaseline skin care product be out of reach, you can still exist in soft, supple, glowing skin, until your next application.

Try these out and make sure your skin’s always looking its best:

Ice Water for a Puffy Face

A classic trick for the books – wash your face with ice water. This does a lot to get rid of morning puffiness and helps to give skin a tightened look. Also, if you have any inflammation, this hack will help cool and soothe it.

Use Gentle Soap

Some soaps can be very harsh on the skin.

They’re very effective at stripping away your skin’s natural oil. What’s more, they can actually cause existing skin problems to get worse – rosacea for example.

Use only the gentlest of soaps when you wash your face.

Vaseline’s range of skin care products is each formulated to be gentle on your skin – browse our products here.

Change your Pillowcase

We all have our favourite pillow. The one that gives us just the right amount of comfort for a great night’s sleep.

But your pillow is also responsible for hanging onto the natural oils in your skin and hair, not to mention any dirt that could also be there. Then when you sleep on that, it could be the main cause of breakouts or acne.

Swap your pillowcase out at least once week, to be kinder on your skin.

Dampen your Skin

Plastic surgeon and founder of Skin by Dr. Smita, Smita Ramanadham says for Glamour magazine, ‘… After washing with warm water, our skin is generally damp, and our blood vessels are vasodilated. By applying moisturiser at this time, we improve its absorption and efficacy.’

So, next time you’re about to apply your favourite Vaseline lotions and moisturisers , give this body care tip a go and get that skin damp first.

Try a Makeup Free Day

Most of us are working from home right now, so we’ve been slipping in a few makeup free days. This is a great thing – according to celebrity facialist, Candace Marino.

For a Glamour magazine interview, she said ‘… My clients who wear minimal or no makeup on the daily have the clearest and healthiest skin. She adds, ‘… save that makeup for events, but just be sure you’re wearing a SPF cream every single day to protect your skin.

So, there are some moments where you can implement body care without having to have your skin care products always at hand. Try these tips to maintain your skin beauty, always. And for all those other skincare moments, reach for that tried and tested Vaseline product you love to use. With all of this in place, your skin will never lose that radiant glow.
