How does Vaseline remove unwanted hair?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
There are several unconventional methods which use vaseline along with some other kitchen products to remove unwanted hair but there is no scientific proof. Any of these methods may cause minimal removal of hair when scrubed or peeled but it is not a permament solution.

View allI'm struggling with acne and I've heard that milk could be a factor. Could you suggest an alternative to normal milk that might help with my skin? Also, what type of milk would you recommend for someone dealing with acne issues? Would love some guidance on this!
For acne-prone skin, consider switching to low-hormone, non-dairy milk alternatives like almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk, which are naturally rich in antioxidants and less likely to trigger hormonal breakouts; among dairy options, goat's milk or A2 cow's milk may be better tolerated due to their unique protein structures and lower hormone levels.

I'm worried about my face getting so oily after being dry for so long. I've been dealing with regular breakouts and the pimples I get are mostly whiteheads, blackheads, and sometimes a few painful bumps. I've tried a bunch of different products to get rid of them, but nothing really seems to work. I don't have a ton of pimples, just around 8 to 10, and I do use makeup as well. Could you suggest a routine that might help keep my face clear of zits?
Since you have been experiencing oily skin and regular breakouts with whiteheads, blackheads, and occasional painful bumps, it sounds like you may be dealing with acne. To help keep your face zit-free, I recommend starting with a gentle cleanser containing salicylic acid to help unclog pores and reduce oiliness. Follow up with a non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated without clogging your pores. Incorporating a topical retinoid cream at night can also help with acne and prevent future breakouts. Additionally, using a sunscreen during the day is essential to protect your skin from further damage. As you mentioned using makeup products, opt for oil-free and non-comedogenic formulas to prevent worsening your acne. In case of persistent breakouts, you may consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and prescription treatments such as benzoyl peroxide or topical antibiotics.
