Here’s a safe, effective way to make a homemade skin-rejuvenating cream using petroleum jelly (Vaseline) that can help lock in moisture, soothe dry skin, and give a plumper appearance. 🧴✨
🥣 Homemade Rejuvenating Cream with Petroleum Jelly
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp petroleum jelly (Vaseline) – seals in moisture
- 1 tsp coconut oil – hydrates and softens skin
- 1 tsp sweet almond oil or jojoba oil – adds nourishing vitamins
- 3–4 drops vitamin E oil – supports skin repair and elasticity
- Optional: 1–2 drops essential oil (lavender, rose, or frankincense) for fragrance
Instructions
- Melt oils
- Gently warm coconut oil with almond/jojoba oil in a double boiler until just melted.
- Combine with petroleum jelly
- Add petroleum jelly and stir until smooth.
- Add vitamin E and essential oil
- Remove from heat and mix in vitamin E and essential oil drops.
- Cool and store
- Pour into a small jar and let it solidify at room temperature.
- Store in a cool, dry place.
🧴 How to Use
- Apply a thin layer to dry or aging skin once or twice daily.
- Can be used as a nighttime mask for face or hands.
- Focus on areas prone to wrinkles, dryness, or dullness.
✅ Benefits
- Petroleum jelly: Seals in moisture, prevents water loss, softens skin
- Coconut & almond oils: Nourish skin and improve elasticity
- Vitamin E: Helps repair damaged skin cells
- Essential oils: Add soothing aroma and antioxidant support
⚠️ Notes
- Works best for external use only
- Avoid heavy application on acne-prone skin, as petroleum jelly can clog pores
- Test essential oils on a small patch first to avoid irritation
💡 Tip: For an extra boost, gently massage the cream into the skin—massage itself improves circulation and can make your skin look plumper and more radiant instantly.
