I just watched the video for applying the chin-up strips. welki, do you rub vaseline on your face like that? I was thinking of trying the strips but don't want to be rubbing petro chemicals into my skin every night. I wonder if there's an alternative that would work as well as vaseline.welki wrote: ordered some Chin-Up strips a couple of months ago just to check them out and they work wonderfully. They're a little pricey, you might be able to MacGyver a facsimile from tape - but they're another option. They can be a little tricky until you get the knack of putting them on, but in my mind, they're a winner.
You can order a sample pack to see which style works best for you. Here's their link in the USA:

Maybe try some vegetable oil. It may stink or be messy.kaiasgram wrote:I just watched the video for applying the chin-up strips. welki, do you rub vaseline on your face like that?

Ewww, but you gave me an idea -- Palmers oil. Smells good and is made for the skin. Thanks!archangle wrote:Maybe try some vegetable oil.

Well, Palmer's oil is made with cocoa butter, which is a vegetable oil, just like a lot of cosmetics.

Hey, I'm a southern boy. I grew up on bacon drippins. I've still got mom's special bacon drippin filter and storage tin. My first girlfriend used bacon grease as perfume.kaiasgram wrote:Yeah but cocoa butter smells yummy!archangle wrote:Well, Palmer's oil is made with cocoa butter, which is a vegetable oil, just like a lot of cosmetics.
