Introduction
If you look in someone's house, you'll probably find some Vaseline or petroleum jelly. Petroleum jelly has been known to treat anything from diaper rash to chapped lips. Basically a cure all. You might be thinking that since it helps so much, petroleum jelly is perfectly harmless. Petroleum jelly is actually leftovers after oil drilling. If you put it on the lips you probably will end up eating it. THAT is like ingesting gas. Nope,that is totally harmless. Not. If you want to hear more about this secret danger, read on. Opinion
After making this blog, I will probably never use petroleum jelly. Never again. The European Union has actually outlawed petroleum jelly and products similar to it. It doesn't even add moisture to your skin. It just seals in dirt, chokes pores, and is smoke and mirrors. Vaseline is hard to clean your skin of it. If your face is dirty and you apply it, the dirt is going to be hard to clean. Petroleum jelly creates this sort of seal or barrier on your skin. Your pores can breath because it keeps out the air. This substance actually just makes your skin look hydrated. The barrier actually dries it out. It does that exact opposite.
Final Thoughts
I will probably not use the dangerous substance for the rest of my life. You can actually make substitutes for petroleum jelly using only a few ingredients. Just avoid anything with mineral oil. That is just as dangerous. So, what do you think of Vaseline? Answer in the comments below.
