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.

I'm struggling with really oily skin, and it's like my face is covered in open pores and acne. It's been driving me crazy, and I'm really hoping you might have some advice on a good face gel or any remedies that might help. Also, if you know of any skin specialists who could help, that would be awesome. I'm kinda worried and would appreciate any guidance you can give!
Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

I'm a bit worried because I had unprotected sex for the first time on Thursday, May 18th, and it was pretty deep. I think my period started the next day or maybe Saturday, and it stopped by Wednesday. It was really heavy for a couple of days and then kind of light. Is there a chance I could be pregnant?
Based on the information you provided, it is possible that you could be pregnant since unprotected sex occurred during your fertile window. To confirm pregnancy, you can take a pregnancy test. If you are concerned about potential pregnancy, you can consider taking an emergency contraceptive pill like Plan B One-Step within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse to reduce the risk of pregnancy.
