Use a couple of drops in with your moisturizer. Don't go too overboard or else it can make your face look oily. It doesn't clog pores and also helps with red marks.

Wynne 131 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Aquaphor, petrolatum jelly. They'll help soothe the very dry areas and protect them from cracking/bleeding. Use on your hands, too, particularly at bedtime. Wear cotton gloves over a nice slathering of petrolatum jelly or Aquaphor and you should begin to notice the difference within a few days. Seriously! Try it. I am a nurse so have to wash my hands multiple times a day. In cold weather, the hands can crack and bleed with too-frequent washing. Petrolatum jelly and cotton gloves at night completely soothe and get rid of the cracking, bleeding and petechial rash from irritation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
