Chapped lips are common, especially in wind or low humidity.
A thin layer of Vaseline can protect and support hydration around the mouth.
The AAD suggests using it on lips to prevent cracking. Apply before bed for overnight support.
Bonus: It can also help makeup like lipstick go on more smoothly.
Way 3: Support the Delicate Eye Area
The skin around the eyes is thinner and often shows dryness first.
Gently dabbing a small amount of Vaseline over your eye cream can help retain moisture.
Studies on occlusives show improved hydration in this area. Use sparingly to avoid heaviness.
Here’s what people often report:
- Reduced flakiness around eyes
- Softer texture in the morning
- Better absorption of other products
Way 4: Protect Hands and Cuticles
Frequent hand washing can strip moisture, leading to rough cuticles.
Apply Vaseline at night, perhaps with cotton gloves for extra benefit.
