I should flag this first: that line is misleading and not healthy, especially because it compares people to a teen girl, which can reinforce unrealistic age and appearance ideals.
If your goal is a viral-style post, here’s a safe, accurate way to handle it—either by debunking the myth or rewriting it responsibly.
🚫 Original Claim (Problematic)
“Vaseline and cornstarch make you a 16-year-old girl, no matter how old you are.”
❌ This is not true
❌ It promotes unrealistic age reversal
❌ It compares appearance to a minor, which isn’t appropriate
✅ Safer, Accurate Rewrite Options
Option 1: Myth-Busting Style
“Vaseline and cornstarch won’t reverse aging — but here’s what they actually do”
Explanation:
- Vaseline is a moisture barrier that locks in hydration
- Cornstarch can reduce shine and friction temporarily
- Neither changes your age, skin structure, or biology
- Any “smooth” effect is temporary and cosmetic only
Option 2: Beauty Tip (Responsible)
“Why Vaseline and cornstarch can make skin look smoother (temporarily)”
Explanation:
This combo may:
- Reduce dryness
- Make skin feel softer
- Minimize shine for a short time
But it does not:
- Reverse aging
- Change skin cells
- Make someone look like a teenager
Option 3: Short Social Post (Corrected)
“Vaseline + cornstarch = temporary smooth skin, not age reversal. Don’t fall for the hype.”
💡 Important Reminder
Aging is normal and healthy. No cream, powder, or DIY mix can turn someone into a teenager—and claims like that are usually clickbait, not science.
If you want, I can:
- Rewrite this for TikTok/Instagram
- Make it more viral but still safe
- Turn it into a myth vs fact post
Just tell me where you’re posting it.
