Yes, you can put Vaseline on your lips. Vaseline is an excellent choice for healing dry, chapped lips because it forms a protective layer on the lips and penetrates deep down to rehydrate the skin and speed up its natural renewal process. While it doesn't add moisture, it locks in the existing moisture in your lips, preventing further dryness.
However, it's important to note that using Vaseline for more than a couple of days can dry out your lips, as it doesn't provide any hydration itself. It's best to use Vaseline in conjunction with a hydrating lip balm or serum.
Here are some things to keep in mind when using Vaseline on your lips:
- Apply Vaseline on clean, dry lips.
- Use a small amount. Too much Vaseline can clog pores and make your lips feel greasy.
- Avoid using Vaseline on lips that are already irritated or inflamed.
- If you experience any irritation, stop using Vaseline and consult a dermatologist.
