🍎 Today’s Health Question ~ Does Petroleum Jelly Have Health Benefits?

True or False: Petroleum Jelly Can Help Heal Wounds.

Answer:

True: Petroleum jelly hit the market almost 150 years ago. It’s still a favorite of dermatologists. That’s because it seals water into your skin. That’s good for your wounds because they need a moist place to heal. It may take up to twice as long for dry injured skin to get better. This oily moisturizer may also ease the redness of a new scar and lower your chances of infection. It also won’t burn when you put it on.
