DIY: NATURAL ALTERNATIVE TO VASELINE (3 SIMPLE INGREDIENTS)

A quick tutorial on how to make a safe version of Petroleum Jelly "Vaseline". This recipe only requires 3 ingredients and they are Coconut Oil, Beeswax and Olive Oil. It's super quick and easy to make. This Vaseline alternative is unscented and is a protectant and moisturizer. You will love it. So instead of using Petroleum Jelly which is not as safe as you think try this alternative instead. It works wonders as a moisturizer for dry cracked feet. I use it on my hands as well when they feel dry or rough. Recipe: 1/2 Cup Coconut Oil 1/4 Cup Beeswax 1/2 Cup Olive Oil What is Petroleum Jelly? Petroleum jelly, the main ingredient in Vaseline, is a derivative of oil refining. Originally found coating the bottom of oil rigs in the mid-1800s, it's a byproduct of the oil industry and therefore an unsustainable resource (read: not eco-friendly). As for your skin? Petroleum jelly can create the illusion of moisturized, hydrated skin, all the while suffocating your pores. It's water-repellant and not water-soluble, meaning it merely seals the barrier so that moisture does not leave the skin. So while you might feel the instant gratification of a softened surface, you're actually drying out your pores by keeping out air and moisture. What's more, the thick texture makes it difficult to cleanse from the skin, so never slather Vaseline on an unwashed face if you want to avoid breakouts. It essentially seals in the dirt. People suffering from skin conditions like acne and rosacea should stay away from petroleum jelly altogether, since such thick emollients can aggravate those conditions. Those who rub Vaseline on dry, cracked noses to get through a cold might want to think twice, too: If petroleum jelly gets into the lungs, it can cause lipid pneumonia. benatural16 "benatural16" Curly Hair Tutorials" Curly hair styles "Curly Hair Styles" Thick Curly Hair "No Heat Curls" "hair natural" "hairstyles for natural hair" "natural hair hairstyles" "natural hair styles" "styles for natural hair" "hair styles for natural hair" "black natural hair" "natural black hair" "how to style natural hair" "natural hair style" "how to grow natural hair" "natural hair growth" "hairstyles for natural black hair" "natural afro hair" black women with natural hair" "natural hair black women" black hair natural hair styles long natural hair "growing natural hair" "hairstyles for natural curly hair" "natural hair pictures" natural ways to grow hair "pictures of natural hair" natural hair pictures" Naptural85 Naptural85 Naptural85 Naptural85 Naptural85 Dearnaptural85 Dearnaptural85 Dearnaptural85 Dearnaptural85 "Natural Hair" "hair conditioner homemade" "homemade conditioner for hair" "homemade hair conditioner" "homemade hair treatment" "hair treatment homemade" "homemade hair remedies" "homemade mask for hair" "homemade hair mask" "hair homemade treatments" homemade treatments for hair "homemade hair conditioners" "homemade recipes for hair" homemade recipes for hair homemade hair recipes "homemade hair products" homemade hair therapy "homemade hair deep conditioner" "homemade hair grow" "homemade moisturizer for hair" "homemade hair loss remedies" homemade remedies for hair loss "homemade hair product" homemade conditioner for natural hair "homemade hair protein treatment" homemade hair conditioner for dry hair "homemade remedies dry hair" "homemade conditioners for black hair" FTC Disclaimer: I have not been paid to endorse any products seen in this video, I paid for these items myself.
