What is the effect of applying Vaseline on hands

Vaseline has a wide range of applications. It is not only an important chemical, but can also be used as a skin care product. However, many people do not know much about this thing, especially its function. Therefore, no matter how good something is, it cannot be used by us. So, what is the effect of applying Vaseline on hands? Let’s take a detailed look at some of the effects of Vaseline.

Vaseline is mainly composed of chemically inert hydrocarbons and has no bactericidal ability; but it is not hydrophilic and will not be absorbed. When applied to the skin, it can form a film on the surface that prevents moisture from evaporating and dissipating, keeps the skin moist, and blocks bacteria from the air from coming into contact with the skin, thereby reducing the possibility of infection. (The following are medical vaseline or other products marked for human use)

① When the weather is dry, apply it to the face, hands, feet or body skin to moisturize.

②Apply to the nasal lining to avoid bleeding due to dryness, or apply to the inner wall of the nostrils to stop further bleeding for those with nosebleeds.

③It can be used as lip balm on lips, and its oil ingredients can keep lips moisturized.

④ When you have a cold, apply it to the skin around your nose to prevent it from turning red due to excessive friction from blowing your nose.

⑤It can prevent eczema caused by long-term contact of wet diapers with the skin.

⑥ Even patients with oral ulcers can first dry the affected area with a tissue and then apply a layer of Vaseline. This can prevent the ulcer from coming into contact with the acid in the mouth and speed up the healing of the ulcer.

⑦ It is said that people who suffer from dyshidrosis may see improvement after applying Vaseline on their hands before going to bed and wearing thin cotton gloves overnight.

⑧ Vaseline is stable and not easy to deteriorate. It is also non-irritating and not easy to cause human allergies. Because of its light smell, it is suitable as a moisturizing product for people who are allergic to fragrances or alcohol additives.

⑨ Keep the skin tissue at the wound site moist and reduce air contact, so as to maintain a high level of self-repair ability and reduce the risk of scarring.

In addition, Vaseline is suitable as a cosmetic raw material for making hair cream, hair oil, hair wax, lipstick, facial oil, skin care cream, etc.

Add some of your favorite lipstick and heat it slightly in the microwave. After softening, mix it evenly and place it in a small makeup box to make your own personal lip balm.
