I akways take off my eye makeup with vaseline.. i rub it on and then wipe it off with a warm cloth..is this safe or could the vaseline be harmful to my eyes?

Generally fine: Vaseline is generally considered safe to use around the skin of your eyes and on your eyelashes. Allergic reactions to petroleum jelly are rare. If you do however ever have an allergic reaction or infection please consult a physician immediately. I wish you well with your health!
