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 dealing with psoriasis, and over the last month, I've been feeling quite lazy, experiencing uneven breathing, some tingling in my feet, and there's pain on the right side of my stomach. My B12 levels are really low at just 97. I'm considering taking a B12 sublingual supplement to help and was looking into the Deva vegan B12 with folic acid and B6 sublingual tablets. Do you think that's a good option for me, especially since I have allergies to certain salts?
focus on correction of vit b12 and vit b6
