Vaseline, our best ally of perfumes

According to the videos that are starting to flow on the net, to keep the smell of her perfume intact throughout the day, it would be enough to apply a little Vaseline on the points where we are used to perfuming such as the neck, chest or even the wrists… Why Vaseline? Probably because the latter he is very rich. Nicole Simpson, beautician interviewed by hustle agrees with this theory. She testifies:

“Vaseline is often used as a base for perfumes for this very reason. It is so rich in lipids that it acts like an adhesive, keeping the fragrance on the skin for as long as possible. »

Indeed, petroleum jelly he has no special powers, it is only its oily formula that allows the perfume to last longer. Do you have a rich body oil or a fragrance-free cream? These will do just fine. ! The idea is just to apply a thin layer of grease underneath your favorite fragrance.

And for good reason, she absolutely has no cure virtue on the skin. The action of him is simply occlusivewhich means it prevents water from evaporating from the skin tissue. It therefore fights against dehydration or dryness. if and only when combined with the benefits of a moisturizer or thirst quencher.

Good to know, right?
