For: Soothing, Healing, Hydration, After-Sun Care
Why it works:

Soothes sunburn, razor burn, or rashes
-
Heals dry patches and minor skin irritation
-
Reduces redness and inflammation
-
Safe for sensitive skin
How to use:
-
Mix 1 tablespoon of pure aloe vera gel with 1 tablespoon of Vaseline.
-
Store in a small container.
-
Apply to face, hands, or body as needed — especially after sun exposure or shaving.
Mix #2: Vaseline + Vitamin E Oil
For: Anti-Aging, Scar Healing, Skin Regeneration
Why it works:
-
Vitamin E oil is a powerful antioxidant that supports skin repair, fades scars, and fights signs of aging.
-
Vaseline protects the vitamin E on your skin, allowing it to penetrate more effectively.
Benefits:
-
Fades scars and dark spots
-
Softens fine lines and wrinkles
-
Promotes skin regeneration overnight
-
Restores damaged cuticles and lips
How to use:
-
Mix 1 vitamin E capsule (or a few drops of oil) with 1 teaspoon of Vaseline.
-
Apply to:
-
Scars or stretch marks
-
Under-eye area at night
-
Dry patches or dark spots
-
Lips or cracked heels
-
Bonus Tips:
-
Use both combos in your skincare routine: Aloe mix in the morning, Vitamin E mix at night.
-
Customize the ratio: Adjust the mix to your skin type (more aloe for oilier skin, more Vaseline for dry skin).
-
Patch test first: Especially if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin.
A Note of Caution
While Vaseline is generally safe for external use, don’t use it inside the nose or deep in the ears, and avoid applying it to open wounds. If you’re prone to acne, use it sparingly on your face to avoid potential breakouts.
