Dos and Dons of Petroleum Jelly

Dermatologists recommend using petroleum jelly to: relieve dry skin, including your lips and eyelids. For the best results, always apply petroleum jelly when your skin is damp. Help injured skin heal for minor wounds such as cuts, scrapes and scratches. As long as the wound is cleaned daily, it is not necessary to use anti-bacterial ointments. Prevent chafing, a painful skin irritation that occurs when body parts rub together or rub against clothing. Treat diaper rash by applying petroleum jelly during each diaper change. However the best way to prevent diaper rash is to keep your baby’s skin as dry and clean as possible. Rehydrate nails. Do not put petroleum jelly on your face if you are acne-prone.
