Vaseline (petroleum jelly) is a dermatologist-trusted occlusive that locks in almost all the water your skin naturally loses. When you blend it with targeted kitchen botanicals—rich in antioxidants, vitamins, gentle acids, and humectants—it becomes the perfect base for multi-tasking balms, masks, and jellies that smooth lines, fade spots, and restore a healthy glow. Below are ten easy, budget-friendly DIYs: the first seven are refreshed versions of your favorites, followed by three brand-new blends to round out a complete head-to-toe routine.

1. Coffee Vaseline Wrinkle-Eraser Night Gel

Procedure

  1. Gently melt Vaseline and coconut oil in a double boiler.

  2. Stir in coffee grounds and honey; remove from heat.

  3. Blend in vitamin E oil, whip as the mixture cools, and transfer to a small sterilized pot.

Instructions
