After bathtime, we apply a layer of Vaseline all over to make sure the moisture doesn’t escape her skin.

Hydration and moisture are especially important with her having eczema. Winter weather is no walk in the park for those with sensitive skin, so you have to keep the tried and true in rotation to keep the rashes away.

Think back to those days of your mom slathering Vaseline on your face as a kid- then apply that to your skincare routine.

Vaseline works as a humectant that locks in moisture on your face the same way it does the rest of your body. According to this esthetician, Vaseline on your face will not cause breakouts, you just have to use it in moderation.
