When my mother went to the derma to have her dry skin checked, I was once again reminded of the "power" of petroleum jelly.
I use petroleum jelly every now and then for various reasons…I apply it to the dry spots on my face…I sometimes use it as lip gloss…I apply it on the skin of Wendy. Come to think of it, our derma summed it all when she said, "Petroleum jelly is the cheapest moisturizer." Boy was she right! A big bottle (which lasts for months, depending on usage) costs around PhP120 to PhP130…and it really does serve its purpose.
The other night, I was rubbing my soles and was thinking how hard the skin on my soles has become because of the constant scrubbing from foot spas. I put lotion every night to make it smooth and soft again…but got very minimal results. Then, I had a light bulb moment…How about I apply petroleum jelly every night? Guess what? It works! Applying petroleum jelly to my whole feet (not just the soles) has made them softer and smoother. In around a week, I already noticed the difference. There…no more expensive foot lotions! Try it! J
(Petroleum jelly is a bit sticky, so you might opt to put it on at night, before sleeping.)
That’s true! Wearing socks would lock the moisture in! I’ll try that! Thanks miss pseudoshrink!
Petroleum Jelly for the soles is the best. I’ve been doing that for years.
I was actually planning to blog about it, naunahan mo ako hehe.
Have a great weekend.
Posted by mommy's little corner at March 1, 2008, 4:07 pmThanks! You may still do so naman. Our purpose is to share the knowledge…and I think more people read your blog. There are many more who will benefit from this info.
kala ko bastos… ay, buti na lang hinde!! I frequent the bathroom at night, so hindi ko to pwede gawin - madudulas ako!!
ay! i do that too! every night! i don’t wear socks though - hindi ako makatulog! and you are so right - of all the products i’ve tried this is the bestest!
oh really.. i will try this cuz my feet are really dry and has cracked.. it was really horrible.. thanks to all of you…
Posted by shy18 at November 9, 2009, 10:42 amThank you for another essential
article. Where else could anyone
get that kind of information in
such a complete way of writing? I
have a presentation incoming
week, and I am on the lookout for
such information.
PJ + socks during sleeping = very smooth and soft soles. I’m trying this too. BTW, I bought a pair of knitted mary janes sa Landmark—works like the sock but prettier.
