The combination of Vaseline and cornstarch is popularly claimed as a DIY beauty secret to achieve soft, youthful-looking skin. While the playful phrase “Vaseline and cornstarch make you a 16-year-old girl” exaggerates the effects, there’s actually some merit behind the viral skincare trend.
Why Vaseline and Cornstarch?
- Vaseline (Petroleum Jelly): Locks in moisture, repairs dry skin, and creates a protective barrier to prevent water loss, enhancing skin hydration.
- Cornstarch: Absorbs excess oil, gives a matte finish, and can make your skin feel incredibly soft and smooth.
