How should I apply this oil to maximize its protective benefits without clogging pores?

To get the most benefit from this cosmetic vaseline oil, apply it locally to specific areas that need extra protection, such as dry lips before going outside, rough hands after washing, or flaky spots on the body. The texture is designed to spread easily, so a little goes a long way. For optimal hydration, apply the oil as the final step in your routine while your skin is still slightly damp; this helps the occlusive layer lock in the water already present on your skin. Avoid using it as an all-over face oil if you have skin prone to congestion or irritation, as the heavy occlusive film may not be suitable for your skin type. If you notice any sensitivity or discomfort, discontinue use immediately. It is not intended to treat acne or dermatitis, but rather to provide a physical barrier against dryness and friction.
