slightly damp skin, helping seal in existing moisture.
1. Vaseline and Aloe Vera
Aloe vera gel is commonly used for its cooling and soothing feel.
A simple approach is to apply a small amount of aloe vera gel first and then use a thin layer of Vaseline afterward to help reduce moisture loss.
If using store-bought aloe gel, choose a product with a simple ingredient list and avoid products that contain ingredients known to irritate your skin.
2. Vaseline and Honey
Honey is a popular ingredient in traditional skincare routines because it is a humectant, meaning it can help attract and retain moisture.
For a simple routine, some people apply a small amount of honey as a short-contact mask and rinse it away before applying a thin layer of Vaseline.
Because honey can cause irritation or allergic reactions in some people, test a small area first.
