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've been applying Vitamin E capsule gel mixed with aloe vera gel on my face and for my dark circles and I've noticed a big improvement. I'm really happy with the results, but I'm curious if it's safe to use this combination on my skin every day for the rest of my life. Could there be any long-term effects I should worry about?
