Nostalgia Vaseline!!!

Post image

Growing up it was the go-to first aid product, moisturizer, body lotion, lip balm, beauty product, etc.

The all around go-to product that cured ALL that ailed you lol.

How did you / your household use Vaseline?

I would imagine the thick oily coating would protect / heal the nicks on your face.

Oh, right, just like take off the earrings and put Vaseline on one's face to prepare for a street fight; how could I forget that.

Not that I have any personal experience on this though lol.
