Urban Beauty Myths from Your Momma Revealed

Vaseline is the answer to all problems.
Although Vaseline is a tub of amazingness, it doesn’t cure all ashy or aging-ills. Momma was right that it will keep you moisturized as petroleum jelly is the strongest moisturizer – forcing oils into the skin and preventing them from evaporating. But Chicago dermatologist, Kevin Pinski, says rubbing it all over your face every night doesn’t prevent aging and may cause breakouts. “Petroleum jelly can make wrinkles less apparent because it’s adding moisture to the skin, which softens lines, but it can’t actually prevent aging,” he said. Try creams with active ingredients such as retinol to prevent wrinkles.
