Can white vaseline still be used when it turns yellow? Should I use white vaseline or yellow vaseline when applying it on my face?

Vaseline is a skin care product in the form of an ointment, mainly in white and yellow. Although vaseline has a wide range of functions, there are still some precautions when using it. Can we continue to use the white vaseline we bought home if it turns yellow?

It is not recommended to continue using it. Since white vaseline is made by bleaching yellow vaseline, if it turns yellow again, it is likely due to oxidation or deterioration. If used on the skin, it is likely to irritate the skin and cause discomfort, so it is not recommended to continue using it. However, even if vaseline is expired and deteriorated, its lubricating effect will not disappear. It can be used on metal to increase the lubricity between metal parts and extend the service life of the equipment.

Yes. Because Vaseline is mainly a chemically inert hydrocarbon, and has the characteristics of being non-hydrophilic and non-absorbable, it will not irritate the skin when applied to the face, so both white Vaseline and white Vaseline can be applied to the face. However, Vaseline has a high oil content, and the facial skin itself secretes oil. Applying Vaseline can increase the burden on the skin and easily cause clogged pores, acne, and pimples. Therefore, it is recommended to use other more refreshing skin care products for facial skin.

Harmless. Since vaseline is mainly a chemically inert hydrocarbon, it is not hydrophilic and will not be absorbed by the skin, so it is harmless to the human body. In addition, the film formed by vaseline on the skin can isolate bacteria and viruses in the air from contact with the skin, which can reduce the possibility of some skin wounds being infected. Therefore, vaseline is not only harmless to the human body, but also has a certain effect in preventing diseases and promoting the recovery of skin wounds.

1. The burn wounds of scald patients need to be breathable and the heat and moisture need to be dissipated to facilitate recovery. Using Vaseline will seal the wounds and affect wound healing.

2. People with blocked noses have difficulty breathing when their noses are blocked. Using Vaseline will increase the ability of nose hair to clean the air, making the nose more blocked.

3. People with acne and lupus erythematosus will secrete more oil. If they use Vaseline, it will seal the skin, preventing the oil from being discharged and clogging the pores, which will aggravate the symptoms.
