I use it for my lips. Lip balms, and lip glosses are no match for the wonders this jelly does to my lips hehe. I really recommend it to everyone. if you want kissable and healthy lips, use petroleum jelly before you sleep hehe. I also use this for part of my skin that are ultra or super try. I do have some skin ailments that needs extra measure of moisture hehe.

petroleum jelly can also be used to protect your skin in the cold weather when it is exposed. It really does help keep the skin soft and manageable. This is one of the first and maybe the best skin care on the market for multiple uses.

I know I know, and many people are not aware of it. I think lip balms are just flavored and colored petroleum jellies hehe.

I used to use petroleum jelly. But I observed that this dries my lips more than it moisturizes. This is because petroleum jelly isn't absorbed by the skin, hence the skin could not breath so over time it just makes the lips drier and chapped. You can read about this more in this link: http://www.skin-remedies.com/dry-lips.html I now use organic lipbalms like the Un-petroleum brand I usually buy at Healthy Options. It makes my lips softer.

It has been a daily night ritual for me to apply the petroleum jelly on my feet which are always somewhat dry.I find a great relief using the jelly as it takes away the taught dry sensation on my feet.

Petroleum jelly darkens my lips. I'm now using a lip balm that has the same purpose like petroleum jelly but it lightens the lips so I don't have to worry. On it's moisturizing effect, it's just okay. But everytime I wake up in the morning with petroleum jelly on my lips, I noticed it beomes fat and thick. LOL.
