Petroleum Jelly

Description

Moisturizing dry skin:Petroleum jelly is an occlusive moisturizer, which means it traps water in the skin. This can be helpful for relieving dry, cracked, or chapped skin. You can apply petroleum jelly to your face, hands, elbows, feet, and lips.

Healing minor wounds:Petroleum jelly can help keep minor wounds, such as cuts, scrapes, and burns, moist, which can aid healing. It can also help prevent scabs from forming, which can reduce scarring.

Protecting irritated skin:Petroleum jelly can be used to protect irritated skin from chafing, such as from diaper rash or rubbing from clothing. It can also be used to soothe sunburn and windburn.

Removing makeup: Petroleum jelly can be used to gently remove makeup, including eye makeup. However, it is important to be careful not to get it in your eyes.

Taming frizzy hair: A small amount of petroleum jelly can be used to tame frizzy hair or flyaways.
