Customer Question:
How is Vaseline used for the face? Question from an anonymous customer
Pharmacist's Answer:
Vaseline for the face is a thick, oily substance that acts as a protective and moisturizing layer on the skin. It is used to prevent the skin from drying out, as it creates an impermeable layer that retains moisture and protects the skin from external influences such as wind or cold. Due to these properties, Vaseline is suitable for dry, cracked skin, especially around the eyes, lips, or other dry areas. It also treats minor injuries such as burns, cuts, or irritations.
Vaseline can also be used in the skin care technique of slugging, in which a thick, protective layer of petroleum jelly or a similar oily product is applied to the face, usually as the last step in the evening skin care routine. The purpose of this technique is for the oily layer to create a protective barrier that retains moisture in the skin and prevents it from evaporating throughout the night.
Vaseline is not recommended for people with oily skin or acne, as it can clog pores and cause breakouts on the facial skin. Due to its density and oiliness, it is slowly absorbed and difficult to remove, so care should be taken not to apply too much. For best results, Vaseline should be used on skin that is already moist, as it will retain moisture more effectively.
