Peptides are a common ingredient in a number of skin care products, and have been shown to promote skin health, particularly helping to firm the skin.
Vaseline by itself has no direct effect on shrinking pores or treating wrinkles, but moisture-locking is a necessary precaution to slow the signs of aging in the skin.
2. Vaseline and the Don'ts
- Do not use to care for sunburned skin
Vaseline is not safe to use as an immediate remedy after sunburn or sun damage. Because the product can be inactivated by heat and worsen your symptoms.
Although the Vaseline label clearly states it can be used to treat "minor burns," you should only apply Cannabis Vaseline to lightly burned skin a few hours after the injury occurs to promote young skin to grow faster. Instead, an instant remedy from products like aloe is recommended by Healthline.
- Not for acne
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, Vaseline can trigger flare-ups if you have acne-prone skin. Do not apply petroleum jelly on your face if you have acne. Instead, people with acne-prone skin should use products with a plant-based avocado oil base like the hemp seed oil found in CBD Face Cream to moisturize the skin.
- Other notes
When applying to the face, you should only use a small amount, not too thick. Because the excess Vaseline layer will make the pores clogged and cause acne.
When using Cannabis Vaseline for eyelashes, you should not use too much nor leave it overnight.
