Bee less than $2Vaseline is beneficial for a number of problems – and Dr. Toral continues to sing his praises.

“Vaseline hacks I learned when I became a dermatologist,” she began in one clamp.

Her first tip? “Use it to moisturize your lips. So much better than lip balm.”

She also said it serves as a protective barrier against other strong products.

“Use it on sensitive areas of the face (corners of eyes, nose, mouth) before applying exfoliants or retinoids.”

In another clampshe added that this protection feature also works if you apply it to your nose before blowing with a tissue to avoid irritation.

And if you have a cut or scrape, use Vaseline instead of Neosporin to heal it.

As for the dry areas of our body, such as elbows and cracked heels, the jelly can soothe them as well.

The same goes for chafing behind your knees or elbows, as she said in a follow up: “Use it to prevent chafing of arms and thighs.”

If you want to improve your beauty routine, she said The product has you covered there too, as it works well to tame the brows without drying out the skin, soothe rashes on the eyelids, and heal irritated corners of the lips.

She also said it makes stubborn earrings go in easier.

And finally, it ensures that you smell better for longer.

“Apply it before using perfume. It protects the skin and makes the scent last longer,” she said in the clamp.

Regarding usage, Dr. Toral recommends scooping with a cotton swab rather than dipping your finger into the jar as this provides a cleaner method.
