Karachi: (RightNow) Petroleum jelly helps prevent facial skin from drying out. It is an affordable and effective way to provide deep moisture to the skin.

Petroleum jelly forms a protective layer on the skin’s surface that retains moisture. When mixed with natural ingredients, it can also provide extra shine.

Experts say petroleum jelly reduces facial dryness in cold weather. It’s better to apply a small amount at night after cleansing the face.

It also prevents lip dryness and cracking and aids in eyebrow setting. Mixing it with vitamin E or glycerin can offer additional benefits.

Remember, caution is necessary for acne-prone skin. Use non-comedogenic moisturizers instead of petroleum jelly and consult a dermatologist.
