Why should every household have Vaseline

Do you live in a household where a box of Vaseline is not an integral part of the bathroom cabinet? You should change that immediately, and experts explain why.

Vaseline is an American brand of petroleum jelly-based products owned by transnational company Unilever. Products include plain petroleum jelly and a selection of skin creams, soaps, lotions, cleansers, and deodorants.

Although the Vaseline formula was invented almost 150 years ago, it is still one of the best skin care products available.

"Vaseline is probably the best thing you can buy at the pharmacy," dermatologist Joshua Zeihner told HuffPost, adding: "You can use it for skin care from nose to toes, and it is extremely useful for areas such as elbows, knees, and feet. It can even be applied to the eye area and cuticles. It is one of the cheapest products that can be found, and at the same time, it is hypoallergenic and retains moisture in the body. "

Its primary and most important function is to moisturize and soften the skin.

That is why it is often used:

• for the area around the diaper
• in the winter months when the skin dries and turns red
• instead of night face cream
• as a base for other cosmetic products
• for faster wound healing
• like a hair mask
• to remove makeup

What else can it be used for?

• polishing of wooden furniture
• lubrication of drawers that are difficult to open
• shoe polishing
• polishing the creaking floor
• CD scratch removal
• removal of the ring that cannot be removed
• removal of chewing gum from surfaces
• repair of a stuck zipper
