Question

I've been noticing a lot of people using Vaseline on their skin as some sort of moisture barrier, and I'm really not sure if that's safe or even right for me. I have combination skin that's also pretty acne-prone, and I'm worried about whether Vaseline could potentially mess things up. Do you think it's safe for me to try it, or should I steer clear?
