What is the best way to use Vaseline Oil on dry hands, elbows and heels?

For best results, apply the oil when the skin is still slightly damp. For example, after washing your hands or taking a bath, pat the skin dry with a towel but leave a little moisture, then massage a small amount of Vaseline Oil into dry areas such as hands, elbows and heels. The oil forms a thin transparent layer on the surface, which slows water evaporation and helps the skin stay softer for longer. On especially rough areas, you can also use it on its own at any time, not only after washing.

A practical routine might look like this:

• After a bath or shower, apply the oil to damp skin on dry patches before getting dressed.
• For rough elbows or heels, take a small amount and massage it into the area; reapply as needed.
• After frequent hand washing, apply a small amount to the hands while they are still slightly damp.

Start with a small amount because mineral oil spreads easily and a little covers a large area. You can add more if the skin still feels tight. Use it only externally, keep it away from the eye area, and stop using it if the skin reacts with irritation.
