Vaseline is a dermatologist-approved occlusive that locks in up to 99 % of skin moisture, making it the perfect base for multi-ingredient balms and masks that target wrinkles, blemishes, and dullness. By pairing Vaseline with powerhouse kitchen staples—coffee, lemon, vitamin E, turmeric, beetroot, aloe vera, and green tea—you can whip up seven simple DIYs that plump fine lines, fade dark spots, restore radiance, and even tint lips rosily, all while using items you probably already have. Below you’ll find step-by-step recipes; each lists five easily sourced ingredients, a quick method, usage guidance, and the skin benefits you can expect.
