Why you shouldn’t put Vaseline on your face

It’s thick, sticky and used as a beauty all-rounder. But there's one place Vaseline shouldn’t go: your face

I discovered it the first time I went to London. All it took was a few days until I declared the little blue pot, which was sold on every corner, my all-purpose weapon. I was caked in Vaseline from head to toe. An attempt at keeping the traces winter had left on my skin at bay. In hindsight that wasn’t very clever of me. At least as far as the Vaseline on my face is concerned.

Next time I’ll be telling you whether face brushes should be an integral part of your skin care routine. One click on the black «Follow author» button next to my profile means you’ll never miss another article. It’s not just me you can follow but also Dr Liv on her Instagram account.

As a massive Disney fan, I see the world through rose-tinted glasses. I worship series from the 90s and consider mermaids a religion. When I’m not dancing in glitter rain, I’m either hanging out at pyjama parties or sitting at my make-up table. P.S. I love you, bacon, garlic and onions.
