Where do you put your Vasoline?

[MorningGlory]

Petrolatum is basically an emollient. Emollients help protect the skin from outside influences while limiting transepidermal water loss. This yields more complete hydration of the skin. Emollients close cracks and fissures by filling spaces around desquamating but attached skin flakes, sealing moisture into the skin through the production of an occlusive barrier. The net effect is softening of the skin. Emollients are commonly used and include mineral oils (like liquid paraffin, petrolatum), waxes ( like lanolin, beeswax, carnauba), long-chain esters, fatty acids, and mono-, di-, and triglycerides
For the best results, if you use petrolatum, pre-soak the area with warm water before applying.

The lady who does my pedicures said that Vaseline is the only thing you'll ever need for soft feet.

I don't use Vaseline. I love Aquaphor though. I have a big tube in my bag and little tubes everywhere (all over my house, office, jacket pockets, etc.) I use it mainly for my lips, but I also rub excess on nails and cuticles.

I have tried every lip balm out there and Aquaphor works the best for me.
