Vaseline - A Beauty Essential

What an essential beauty product this is - the humble jar of Vaseline is a must in every household!

Vaseline is a pure petroleum jelly and can be used on your skin and lips. As it says on the label it’s proven for generations to care for babies skin.

I’d say that it doesn’t really smell of anything at all really. Use a little and it’s easily absorbed in to your skin - use more and it is a little visible with a shiny, clear appearance.

We use it our on daughters dry lips in the autumn and winter, Sarah uses a little on both her face and lips to combat the cool winds. And even though I’m a chap I use it as well!

I use a little on my face (carefully) near my eye, as I get a dry patch - most probably due to running outside on the coast where we live. For longer distance runs I use a little on my toes and erm, elsewhere to stop any painful chaffing. Men can suffer with rubbing too when running!

I also use it on my nose when I catch a heavy cold (sorry, you’d call it man flu) to stop it becoming sore after blowing it with umpteen tissues.

We always have a couple of jars handy at home - it’s less than £2 at Boots here. They do a dinky little tin too (see here) for under a £1 that’s ideal for pockets and handbags.

What do you use it for (no rude comments now! ) ?
