This is a product that I have re-purchased so many times now. It leaves the skin feeling super hydrated and bouncy and adds a wonderful glow to the skin. I also love that it dries down slightly sticky, so it can act as a primer under makeup.

I swear by aquaphor!! I use this for my lips day and night and it’s the only thing that helped with my dryness when I was on acutane. I also like to use this at night all over my face if my skin is feeling dry.

I love to use Vaseline for so many different purposes, it’s such a skincare classic. I use it on my lips, dry skin, and eyebrows/eyelashes! ⭐️
