This collection of Vaseline-based skincare blends offers simple, natural remedies for common skin concerns using everyday ingredients. Each blend is designed to target a specific issue—dark spots, dullness, wrinkles, and uneven texture—by combining the occlusive power of Vaseline with active botanicals like turmeric, lime, coffee, and herbal extracts. These DIY treatments are gentle, customizable, and ideal for those who prefer holistic skincare approaches.
Vaseline (petroleum jelly) acts as a moisture-locking base, helping the active ingredients stay on the skin longer and penetrate more effectively. While these blends are not substitutes for professional dermatological treatments, they can be part of a nourishing self-care routine when used mindfully and consistently.
