6 Uses of Vaseline That You Probably Didn’t Know

1. Moisturizer for the skin of the hands during the coldest months of the year

If you live in a place with a warm climate, you may not know how harmful wind and extremely low skin temperatures can be. We refer to the exposed areas, such as the face and hands. Although wearing gloves may be an option, applying a little Vaseline on your hands before putting them on might be even better. Vaseline is thicker than ordinary hand cream, and therefore retains moisture better.

In addition to applying it to your hands, you can also use it on your face. Some people put a thick layer of petroleum jelly on their lips when they go out in the cold. Be sure to wipe your face with a paper napkin when you arrive at your destination.
