Can thick application of Vaseline remove blackheads? Will applying Vaseline on the face clog the pores?

Vaseline is an all-purpose product in cosmetics. It is cheap, large and easy to use. Many friends should have noticed that many skin care products contain vaseline, so what effect will it have when you wipe your face with vaseline?

Cannot remove blackheads. Blackheads are mainly formed by the accumulation of oil secreted from the pores and old dead skin cells. Using Vaseline to remove blackheads is to use the principle of oil dissolving oil to loosen the blackheads and make them easier to scrape out. However, Vaseline is a kind of petrolatum obtained by petroleum fractionation. It has a very high oil content and a thick and airtight texture. Applying it to the area where blackheads are to be removed will not only dissolve the blackheads, but may also aggravate the blockage of pores, leading to the aggravation of blackheads and even acne. Therefore, thickly applying Vaseline does not actually remove blackheads.

No. The main component of Vaseline is chemically inert hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are not hydrophilic and will not be absorbed by the skin. However, when applied to the skin, they will form a barrier, isolating the air and forming a thin film on the skin surface, making it difficult for moisture to evaporate and dissipate, thus keeping the skin moist. Therefore, Vaseline will not clog pores when applied to the face. Vaseline can be used as a skin moisturizing skin care product in daily life.

If you feel it is greasy, you can use facial cleanser to clean it. If it is not greasy, wipe it with a wet wipe and then rinse it with clean water. Everyone's skin feels different, so you can deal with it according to your own feelings. If you feel it is greasy, you can use facial cleanser to clean it thoroughly. Since Vaseline is a kind of skin care product, the facial cleanser you use should not be a strong cleanser. Use a mild amino acid cleanser.

It depends on the situation. Since Vaseline has a very high oil content, if you apply it on your face when your skin is not dry, it will increase the burden on your skin, causing the oil on your skin to not be discharged, and causing acne and pimples. However, if your skin is dry, applying Vaseline on your face can form a protective film on the skin surface, preventing moisture loss, isolating it from bacterial pollution in the air, and achieving the effect of moisturizing and repairing the skin. Therefore, the effect of applying Vaseline on your face depends entirely on the condition of your skin.
