The “Just Pour Milk into Vaseline! Never Buy This From the Store Again” recipe is a viral DIY skincare or home remedy trend often seen in social media videos. While the title is clickbait-style, the actual mixture of milk and Vaseline (petroleum jelly) is usually promoted as a natural skin moisturizer, anti-wrinkle treatment, or soothing balm.
Here’s what the basic “recipe” looks like and how it’s typically used:
🧴 DIY Milk + Vaseline Skin Cream
Ingredients:
-
1 tablespoon of Vaseline (petroleum jelly)
-
1 tablespoon of milk (whole milk is preferred for its fat content)
Instructions:
-
Warm the milk slightly (not hot — just lukewarm).
-
Place the Vaseline in a small bowl.
-
Add the warm milk to the Vaseline and mix thoroughly.
-
This may take a few minutes, as Vaseline is thick and doesn’t dissolve easily.
-
-
Once well combined, apply a small amount to your skin, especially on dry areas, hands, feet, elbows, or under eyes.
Use:
-
Often used as a night moisturizer, hand cream, or under-eye balm.
-
Apply in small amounts and massage gently into the skin.

Deeply moisturize dry or cracked skin.
