Vaseline Controversy vs. Actual Effects Compilation

For a while, there was a debate on YouTube and communities about vaseline, with opinions ranging from ‘absolutely good for the skin’ to ‘absolutely should not be used’.
In reality, vaseline itself doesn’t nourish the skin but only plays the role of a ‘lid that prevents moisture evaporation’.
Continued use can be uncomfortable due to stickiness and dust easily adhering. Many users with experience say, “It’s uncomfortable to apply every day.”
Recommended only temporarily in ‘crisis situations’ such as dry skin, severe dryness, and prolonged exposure to winter/heater/air conditioning.
Rather, vaseline may block sebum excretion in oily skin or those with a lot of sebum secretion, which may worsen troubles and acne.

Vaseline Alternatives/Applications & Utilization Strategies for Commercial Cosmetics

When you need to solve dryness
– Apply vaseline thinly ‘on top of basic skincare products’ as if layering to prevent moisture from evaporating
– Or, it is much more realistic to use lotions, creams, and body lotions containing vaseline
– For extremely dry skin, recommend using existing moisturizers such as Nivea, baby lotion → vaseline order
Daily use of vaseline alone is not recommended.

Lotion/Cream/Hand Cream/Body Lotion – Is it necessary to distinguish?

In fact, there is no significant ingredient difference between moisturizers specifically for the face, body, and hands.
The market (marketing) logic tells you to use ‘expensive things = face’, ‘cheap things = body’, but if you have dry skin, it’s okay to use body lotion and hand cream on your face.
Even if it’s hand cream, it’s harmless to apply it to your face in an emergency (but be careful of allergies to fragrance/specific ingredients).
For really extremely dry and scaly areas, creams for elbows and heels can also be used temporarily on the face.

Practical Comparison of Men’s and Women’s Moisturizing Habits and Tips for Overcoming Laziness

Men usually find moisturizing annoying.
Actively recommend using all-in-one products (lotion + sunblock, skin + lotion, etc.).
Cost-effective convenience stores and general brand products (Johnson & Johnson, Nivea, etc.) can provide basic moisturizing + hydration.
For women, ease of application (easy to apply) and durability make a big difference in how they feel about the product, as much as its function.
If your skin doesn’t feel tight, don’t overdo it, and avoid applying too much.

Washing/Showering Habits & Meaning of Exfoliation and Sebum Management

Doctors also oppose Korean-style scrubbing and squeaky-clean washing.
Necessary dead skin cells and natural oil layers (facial grease) actually play a role as a skin ‘protective barrier’, so excessive removal can cause dryness and troubles.
For morning washing, water wash is recommended for dry skin, and cleanser is recommended for oily/oily skin only.

How to Use Sebum/Moisture/Moisturizer in Summer and Winter and Skin Economics

Even in summer, skin evaporates/dries quickly both indoors and outdoors.
It is recommended to maintain a certain level of oil film/moisturizing year-round to prevent the skin from drying out.
Our body is 70% water, but water evaporates at any time.
There are many sebaceous glands (spots that spew oil) on the face, so separate care is emphasized, but the body also needs proper moisturizing.
In winter/exposed hands, elbows, and heels need concentrated moisturizing

Sunscreen (Sunblock) – All-in-one/New/Stick/Spray/Recommended by Formulation

Recommended new all-in-one products (lotion + sunscreen) for both men and women (maximizing convenience)
The higher the SPF and PA values, the stronger the UV protection, and if it’s too much of a hassle, apply at least an all-in-one product
Sunblock has different advantages for each formulation (cream/stick/spray):
– Face = Cream spreadability/uniformity,
– Body = Spray convenience,
– Sticks are difficult to apply and have smudging issues (especially for men)
Finding a product that suits your skin is the most important thing, and since sunblock can also cause troubles, choose carefully
Sunscreen is essential in both summer and winter. It is best to reapply as often as possible

Economic Perspective: Difference in Consumption and Willingness to Pay for Moisturizing/Cosmetics

In the market, the price difference between face and body products is created with the concept of ‘willingness to pay’.
This reflects the consumer psychology that we spend more money on our face and choose cheaper products for our body.
In reality, there is not much difference in ingredients or price, so it is advantageous to have consumption habits that are not swept away by ‘face/body’ marketing.

Core of Skincare (Real Core)

– ‘Skin is dry’ = moisturizing is unconditionally necessary / high risk of skin damage
– If not dry, excessive moisturizers, vaseline, and expensive cosmetics are unnecessary
– Practical and economical consumption that suits your skin/situation is the most important thing
– ‘Skin tightness’ (immediate dryness) is the standard, and no excessive trust is needed otherwise
– Irritating washing, scrubbing, and excessive exfoliation can damage the skin barrier

Vaseline is suitable for temporary use in extremely dry, emergency situations, and daily use carries inconvenience and trouble risks.
Daily moisturizing is sufficient with cosmetics (cream, lotion, hand cream, etc.), and there is not much difference in ingredients, so there is no need to distinguish too much by ‘part’.
For both men and women, a practicable routine such as application habits, spreadability, and hassle is more important.
It is best to use cost-effective and convenient products consistently, such as sunscreen/all-in-one, depending on your skin and situation.
