The only thing I'd caution about going overboard with is the petroleum jelly; I try to find a smaller jar of it. Of course, if you can only find the larger jar -- that's okay, too. Just add more lotion or vitamin E cream to it.<br />Recently I've had problems finding the smaller jars of Vit E cream. I've added the larger jars instead, and it still works out great.<br />Just play with it.

Yes, I did find it gross when I was a teenager. But guess what? I watched her age beautifully with hardly any wrinkles until she was 80 years old, and her skin STILL looks much younger than other women her age. It has a healthy glow very untypical of most women. So by the time I was in my 20's I realised that was how I wanted to age. I dip the tip of one finger into vaseline, and another finger into a bit of lotion and smear them together on my fingertips before rubbing it on my face. Now this is no brag, just fact, I am 50 years old and get many compliments on the youthful look of my skin. Especially the friends of my adult children tell them that they can't believe how young I look (possibly comparing me to their moms?). I don't know if it's good genetics, good habits (neither my mom or I smoke or drink), but I'm not going to risk not using the vaseline with lotion to find out. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! When I put on makeup, I first apply facial powder, then foundation, and then another light dusting of powder, and that absorbs any extra shine caused by the Vaseline. I've been doing this for a couple of decades now, and when I have ever gone for one of those free makeovers at the expensive makeup counters, the girls always compliment my skin. Then they want to sell me a product that's $40 for half an ounce to do the same thing! I just smile, and keep my secret to myself! I'm really not a person who is obsessed with looking youthful, I don't dye my hair, which has a touch of grey, but who wouldn't enjoy looking healthy? I have been buying store brand lotion, but recently enjoyed picking up some lotions that smell better. But they come with a fat price tag, so I'm interested in trying this recipe for the fun of it. Glad to see this is here, and hope as many women as possible find out you don't have to pay a bundle for great skin.DIYdoctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17699697557151770583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15688265.post-1900248142613469832007-09-13T12:16:00.000-05:002007-09-13T12:16:00.000-05:00Look for Lanolin in the baby department next to th...Look for Lanolin in the baby department next to the breastfeeding supplies.

When I asked her if it was easy she laughed and informed me of the three ingredients and how she made it in her Kitchen Aid mixer. The texture is fluffy, whipped and light. The scent is nice and she told me that I could use the lavender scent baby lotion if I did not want the "baby" smell. She was also telling me that people at some salons by us were actually selling this stuff for a big price as their own "special" formula so it must have quite a following for those who have tried it. I tried some on my hands right away and it felt like a nice veil of protection was on my hands for most the afternoon. <BR/><BR/>I put some on my washed face tonight as well. I know you are thinking that it's gonna clog pores but I read in the Wall Street Journal that dermatologists say the best kept secret in their office is from older women. It's a mix of vaseline and water whipped together...that's it! No need for fancy expensive creams and serums. They use it under their makeup and at night. The doctors interviewed said the women who have done this for years have very few wrinkles and glowing skin. The vaseline is a barrier to the elements and seals in moisture; sounds like this cream would work too and I like the vitamin E element as well.<BR/>This is one girl who would rather keep cash in her pocket AND look great while laughing at the snob element.
