Unlike natural oils: olive, almond, aprocot kernal, alvacado, jojoba, aloe vera, etc, mineral oil and petroleum clogs my pores causing breakouts, it dryes my skin, causing severly dry patches, because it doesnt allow moisture in. It is cheaper, but not worth it. IMO

Good link LaffNowCryLater!

Sadly, I used it for YEARS (from teens until 36) to take off eye make-up and to moisurize after every shower. I hope I didn't damage myself. Ugh! The things I have done, before I became "educated" make me feel ill. Thank goodness I can at least do better for my children.
