Petroleum jelly is the winter skin hero you’ve been sleeping on

Your skin becomes dry and irritated as winter sets in because of the combination of indoor heat and cold air.

Fortunately, petroleum jelly remains a straightforward and efficient method for protecting and healing winter skin, despite the growing attention on high-end skincare products.

By creating a barrier, petroleum jelly protects the skin from elements such as wind and frost, while keeping moisture in.

MedicalNewsToday claims that petroleum jelly is promoted as a miracle treatment for a number of skin disorders. It is also a flexible and reasonably priced skin care product.

The health hub also states that, in addition to managing eczema, the heroic skincare product prevents chafing, treats nappy rash, promotes healing, stops peeling, and acts as a skin barrier.

Petroleum jelly is mild enough to use on the whole family without the need for additional fragrances if you have children or sensitive skin.

You’ve probably seen someone with a tiny tub in their car or bag every day, and their skin thanks them for it.

The winter skin saviour you never knew you needed could be petroleum jelly. So, don’t undervalue this old-school remedy.
