I

don’t like to use petroleum jelly on my face partly because my skin

reacts to the wiping/patting pressure, my eyes start watering profusely, and

the smell triggers nausea and a headache. None of that happens when I use

petroleum jelly on my hands or arms or legs, obviously [grin]. Proximity

is everything!

So

I’m looking for something I can use on my face since my skin is just as dry

there, and has started reacting to the hypoallergenic lotions I have used

successfully in the past. I will start experimenting with a few oils, and

see if one or more of them will work better for me.

Really

I was just wondering why you used the jelly on your body but not on your face -

it's just a pain to wipe off and doesn't let your skin breathe as well? I had a

patch test done a year ago and found that I was allergic to paraben and

fragrance. I can't use most commercial products either because they can put

fragrance in it without saying they did if they're not using the particular

ingredient AS a fragrance. I have a list of products I'm allowed to use.
