Yes, Vaseline can help make skin glow, especially when used as a highlighter. It creates a dewy, naturally luminous glow by reflecting light.
Here's how it works:
- Creates a barrier: Vaseline forms a protective barrier on the skin, locking in existing moisture and preventing water loss. This can make skin appear plumper and more radiant.
- Reflects light: Its thick, oily texture helps to reflect light, giving the skin a subtle sheen. This is similar to the effect of a highlighter, but more natural looking.
Tips for using Vaseline for a glowing complexion:
- Apply sparingly: A small amount of Vaseline goes a long way. Too much can make skin look greasy.
- Target high points: Apply Vaseline to the high points of your face, such as cheekbones, brow bones, and cupid's bow, for a subtle highlight effect.
- Combine with moisturizer: Applying Vaseline over a light moisturizer can help to lock in hydration and create a dewy glow.
Important note: While Vaseline can be beneficial for some, it can also clog pores and cause breakouts for those with oily or acne-prone skin.
