How do I use this vaseline in my daily skincare routine? Is it a moisturizer or something else? — Vaseline "Kodune doktor", cosmetic emollient 42 ml

It’s helpful to understand that this product is an emollient, not a moisturizer like a cream or lotion. Its primary role is occlusive: it forms a protective film on the skin's surface to reduce moisture loss. It does not add water or hydrating ingredients by itself.

For effective use, apply it over slightly damp skin or over a light moisturizer you’ve already used. This helps “seal in” the existing hydration. Think of it as the final step in your routine for specific, dry areas. For example:

• On hands and elbows after washing.
• On lips and cuticles to prevent chapping.
• On heels or small, rough patches, especially overnight.

Its minimalistic composition and straightforward action make it practical in colder weather or when skin needs extra protection from wind, cold, or friction. Avoid applying it to large areas or skin that feels uncomfortable with heavy, occlusive textures. For external use only.
