I use a loofah on my face in place of those sonic-scrubbers, guess I should join the 21st century.

And whenever I use the pore strips I end up with that nasty white stuff on my face, defeating the purpose of even using it. What’s up with that?

Okay.. Great idea! Honest:) BUT I don’t agree with you stopping here! Their are more people you can do!!!!! Like Brittney or Santania! Their look is kinda the same but it is different from the others… Then the counsler! She has such a uniqe look with her red lips and eyeshawdow I think it would be fun to watch! So please! Glee is my favirote show & I love your videos so combined is just great.

Just an FYI, Vaseline, does not moisturize. What it does, is provide a barrier, that keep moisture in, and can help keep other crap out. For best results, apply a moisturizer, then a very thin layer of Vaseline. If you have sensitive skin, don’t use it. Petroleum products (petroleum jelly, petrolatum, mineral oil) can be extremely irritating to sensitive skin. I think I managed to cure about 90% of my excema by making sure not to use any petroleum products anymore. You have to remember, that even though we’re using to seeing them all over the place, these are by products of the same stuff we make gasoline out of. They aren’t gentle by any means, though most people can tolerate them. Beauty companies use them because they are cheap fillers (esp mineral oil), and because they give a “sheen” to skin that make people think they are moisturizing, even though they are not.
