This couple of months working in a counter i have incountered clients who uses Petroleum Jelly as there moisturizer for there face. It is a big mistake. We all know it is cheap but it is not worth it if it is clogging your pores and will give you black heads later on. Do you really want that? Generally, petroleum jelly is safe to use. Rarely, however, inhaling fat-based substances (lipoids) — such as petroleum jelly or mineral oil — for prolonged periods can cause lung problems. It is still used in most of the cosmetic companies but pls choose carefully and read the ingredients you dont want paraffins into your system.

Now a days there are a lot of organic products to choose from one of my favorites is the AVEDA Hydrating Lotion.

<!— Key Ingredients:
—> Camomile extract, Coconut-derived emollients, Jojoba oil, Lavender extract, Palm-derived emollient, Rice bran oil

tip 1. Always consider your skin type before buying any moisturizer. if your oily skin. ofcourse dont get the one that is oil based because it will make it worse. Dont afraid or get intimidated to ask help. The lady in the counter knows more about the product than you do.

Tip 2. When your using your foundation on top of your moisturizer always consider getting the same product line. think about it as Shampoo and Conditioner. If you used a different conditioner what happend to your hair? it contradicts its purpose. Now here you come complaining why your foundation doesnt last the whole day. Because your moisturizer has different ingredient that counter acts with your foundation. So choose carefully when buying a moisturizer and do your home work!

I hope this comes as a warning to everyone and please just leave the use of petroleum jelly to DIAPER RASH!
