A hit without a prescription! Jennifer Aniston uses it instead of eye cream. It costs PLN 2

Vaseline is easily available and extremely versatile. You can find it in pharmacies, supermarkets and drugstores for just a few zlotys. It is a mixture of mineral oils and waxes that create a semi-solid, odorless substance ranging in color from white to yellow to brown. Thanks to its properties, it prevents moisture from escaping from the skin, softens it, smoothes it, slightly lubricates it and, above all, protects it against external factors, which is why many people like to use it, especially in winter.

What is cosmetic Vaseline good for? A simple cosmetic with many uses

The skin is the largest organ of the body, so it is worth taking proper care of it. However, doing so does not have to mean buying expensive creams or balms. In fact, a common and inexpensive product found in most people’s medicine cabinets, Vaseline, can have many skin care uses for the entire family.

• Get rid of dry skin on your lips and eyelids that may flake, itch, crack and even bleed. The skin on your eyelids is the thinnest skin on your body and is easily irritated. If it gets dry, apply a small amount of Vaseline to moisturize and protect. Do the same for your lips. For best results, always apply Vaseline when your skin is damp.
• Help injured skin heal. For minor wounds such as cuts and scrapes, use Vaseline to keep the wound moist. This helps prevent drying and crusting.
• Prevent chafing. Chafing is a painful skin irritation that occurs when body parts rub against each other or against clothing. To prevent them, apply Vaseline to problem areas such as your feet or thighs.
• Moisturize your nails. If you often do manicures and pedicures, apply Vaseline on your nails and cuticles between applying nail polish. This will minimize brittleness and prevent your nails from chipping. For best results, apply it to damp nails.

While Vaseline has many benefits, it doesn’t have it all. Avoid applying Vaseline all over your face, if you are prone to acne, as this may cause breakouts in some people.
