Rihanna's glowing skin has been the subject of countless beauty articles, but the secret might surprise you. The Fenty Beauty founder revealed in a recent interview that one of her go-to products costs less than $5 and can be found at any drugstore.
The Product: Vaseline Petroleum Jelly
Yes, you read that right! Rihanna uses plain old Vaseline as part of her skincare routine, and here's how:
As a Makeup Remover
Rihanna applies a small amount of Vaseline to remove stubborn eye makeup and lipstick. The petroleum jelly breaks down even waterproof formulas without harsh rubbing.
For Dewy Highlights
Before red carpet events, Rihanna's makeup artist applies tiny amounts of Vaseline to her cheekbones, bridge of the nose, and cupid's bow for that signature dewy glow.
Lip Treatment
She applies Vaseline to her lips before bed and sometimes mixes it with sugar for a gentle lip scrub.
The Science Behind It
Petroleum jelly creates a protective barrier that locks in moisture, which is why it's so effective for maintaining hydrated, glowing skin.
How to Use It Like Rihanna
- Use sparingly - a little goes a long way
- Apply to clean skin
- Perfect for highlighting specific areas
- Great for sealing in other skincare products
This just proves that great skin doesn't always require expensive products!
