Overnight Eye Miracle
FROM: Meredith Kahn Rollins, executive editor
TO: Jean Godfrey-June, beauty director
SUBJECT: Aquaphor
The other night, I was feeling particularly crowfoot-y and dry around the eye area—just really ancient in general—so I slathered Aquaphor around my eyes before I went to sleep. I figured it might be the same thing as coating your feet in Vaseline and putting on socks for the night, right? And indeed, I woke up with NO CROW'S FEET. They came back a couple days later, granted, but now I have a new before-the-photo-shoot trick. (Also: I had feared the Aquaphor would migrate down to my cheeks and break me out, but it didn't. Which was nice.)

I love hearing this!!
I've been doing this forever and wrote about it recently and it really works!
My new obsession is Egyptian Magic so I use that on lips, eyes and hands before bed- slap on my eye mask and I'm ready to go!
Aquaphor is 41% vaseline with some other things like mineral oil, lanolin, and glycerin thrown in.
Vaseline is cheaper! ;-)
Be careful with this trick. I did it a few months ago and when I woke up my eyes were so swollen that I could hardly open them.
