The Secret Behind the Mix
Both Coca-Cola and Vaseline have properties that can create a temporary glow and silky finish on the skin — but for very different reasons.
- Vaseline (petroleum jelly) is a classic moisturizer known for its ability to lock in hydration, smooth dry skin, and protect against irritation.
- Coca-Cola, though primarily a beverage, contains mild acids and sugars that can give skin a brief tightening or exfoliating effect.
When used together, the result can create a soft, radiant appearance — perfect for a quick photo-ready glow.
How to Try the Trend (Safely)
You’ll need:
- 1 teaspoon of Vaseline
- 1 teaspoon of Coca-Cola
Steps:
- Mix both ingredients in a small bowl until combined.
- Apply a thin layer to clean skin (lips, hands, or dry areas only).
- Leave on for 5–10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with warm water.
- Follow up with your regular moisturizer.
Important: This mixture is not meant to replace proper skincare products. Coca-Cola contains sugar and acid, which may irritate sensitive skin if left on too long. Always patch-test before applying to your face.
