>>24739Hell no I wouldn't I cringe when I see women using it as lube in videos. Your vagina would be the worst place to use it. The amount that is going to be absorbed into your body is going to be increased in a mucous membrane.

What do I do about my face being darker than rest of my skin? How do you lighten it and even the tone? I'm not sure if it's a tan or something else causing it.
No.24914
>>24913thats normal, the best you can do is wear sunscreen regularly (you should do this anyway) and avoid exposure to sunlight and your tan might slowly revert

>>24733>idek where the petroleum jelly meme came fromPetroleum companies trying to figure out what to do with industrial waste products. It can help with certain things by simply sealing things in from the atmosphere, which can prevent certain kinds of infection from getting oxygen, or to help form a seal over an injury which results in your blood clotting in the injury faster. But these are just because of the physical properties of a thick sticky substance covering the area, nothing to do with the specific chemistry (let alone biochemistry) involved.
>>24738It's actually worse lol. Petroleum jelly is the shit they remove from crude oil. It's literally industrial waste.

Just keep your skin from being dry all the time
Drink lots of water
Find soap/body wash that doesn't fuck your shit up
Stay away from fucked up air/temperatures
There, free dermatology barring serious disease
No.35748
>>35735Also, in addition to hydration, you need your skin clear of debris, excess oil, etc
Sometimes rinsing and soap are enough but you can buy special cleansers which have chemicals and ointments to help
Salicyclic acid is a good ingredient for a deep chemical exfoliation of the face however it shouldn't be done too much, and look into micellar water which is less intense too
Ceramides and hyaluronic acid are the most common ingredients for locking in moisture
Retinol is also a good general anti-aging ingredient for people over 30, although it's used in younger people to help with acne too
No.35773
>>24732I don't think mineral oil is dangerous if it's only applied on the skin instead of ingested or whatever
