Cocoa butter is great for your skin

Cocoa butter could make your face more greasy than the moisturizing look you may be going for. Vaseline is definitely a no no. It clogs pores due to its thickness. Its great on freshly pedicured feet with socks or saran wrap to keep feet soft. There are several moisturizers specifically for the face and hands out there. Search the net or the aisles in the stores for those products specifying for Face and Hands only.

If you put a very thin coat of Vaseline on your face when it is damp with water it's a great moisturizer. All lotions do is hold in the existing moisture. So make sure there is something for it to hold in!

I think both of these are really harsh in the long run. The best one that I have come across is Kiehl's Moisturizing cream for dry skin. This keeps your skin moisturized for hours.

I wouldn't use vaseline on my face it's a bit thick and greasy. But I knew others that used it to remove makeup. To wash my face I'd just use warm water and some other moisturizer or face wash.

Coco butter or aloe soap is really good to wash faces. Eucerin in the jar (the thick pasty kind) is good for very dry skin. I use exfoliating gloves 2x a week with my soap to exfoliate my face. It works!

I just wash my face in warm water, not even soap and my skin is really nice for my age, I hear I look about 10 years younger than I am. If I use lotions, my face sweats too much.
