Brilio.net - Petroleum jelly is often used in facial care because it is very effective in locking in moisture and protecting the skin. Petroleum jelly can form a barrier that prevents moisture loss from the deeper layers of the skin. This is very useful for maintaining skin hydration, especially on areas of the face that tend to be dry or irritated.
Apart from its ability to retain moisture, petroleum jelly also has skin-protecting properties from damaging environmental factors, such as wind and extreme temperatures. By creating a barrier, petroleum jelly helps prevent skin from dehydration and irritation that can cause dryness or redness.
Apparently the benefits of petroleum jelly are not limited to facial care, because this product made from mineral oil actually has other functions, you know. One of them was shared by a TikTok user with the account name @beautywallet_byanji, who uses petroleum jelly to treat rough and split ends of hair.
