What makes Vaseline so helpful for dry lips ?
Vaseline’s effectiveness stems from its sealing effect on cuts and burns, which inhibits germs from getting into the wound and keeps the injured area supple by preventing the skin’s moisture from evaporating. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaseline About using Vaseline – Coat your lips in Vaseline and use an *old* toothbrush to gently brush away dead skin. Then wipe off the Vaseline and the dead cells with it. Smooth on your favorite Chapstick or balm, or a little more Vaseline. Don’t do it too often – or it’ll make your lips sore – but it’s great to sort out really chapped lips.
