As somebody with dry, delicate pores and skin, I’ve to watch out round sure substances and fragrances, so the most important plus for me is that it’s fragrance-free, non-irritating, and hypoallergenic. Since Vaseline helps lock in moisture, I apply it earlier than mattress on high of my favourite pure honey lip balm (which I purchase regionally, sorry) and it helps hold all these nice hydrating substances sealed in till morning.
