In fact, a common product in almost every home's medicine cabinet like mineral oil has many uses for the skin. This is a pure cosmetic without impurities, known for its uses such as reducing skin dryness, speeding wound healing,...
1. Relieves Dry Skin
Mineral oil in cosmetics works to relieve dry skin, including your lips and eyelids. Dry skin can cause symptoms such as peeling, itching, cracking, and even bleeding. Since mineral oil is more effective and less irritating than lotion, consider applying mineral oil to dry areas of skin, including your lips and eyelids.
The skin above the eyelids is the thinnest on the body and can be easily irritated. If eyelids are dry and flaky, use mineral oil in a small amount to moisturize and protect. For best results, always apply mineral oil while skin is still damp.
2. Helps injured skin heal faster
Mineral oil has the effect of helping wounds heal. For minor injuries like cuts, scrapes, and abrasions, use mineral oil to soothe irritation and help skin heal. Besides, mineral oil will also help prevent scarring that is too large, deep or itchy.
In fact, mineral oil is a product that contains an ingredient called petroleum jelly. This ingredient acts as a natural barrier, so it helps prevent infection and reduces the risk of keloids after healing. Accordingly, you need to pay attention to cleaning the wound daily, it is not necessary to use anti-bacterial ointment.

3. Prevent skin blistering
Skin blistering is a painful and uncomfortable skin irritation. This condition occurs when parts of the body rub together or rub against clothing. To prevent chapped and blistered skin that can lead to blisters, apply mineral oil to areas of skin that are blistered or red, such as the feet or thighs.
4. Treat diaper rash
The best way to prevent diaper rash is to keep your baby's skin as dry and clean as possible. However, if your baby has a diaper rash in the groin area, apply mineral oil with each diaper change. With proper care, your baby's rash should clear up in about three to four days. If the rash doesn't go away, see a dermatologist for appropriate treatment.5. Moisturize your nails
If you regularly apply nail polish and pedicure, apply mineral oil to nails and cuticles in between coats of polish. This will minimize brittleness and keep your nails from chipping. For best results using mineral oil, apply it while your nails are still damp.
In short, mineral oil brings many benefits to the skin, but should not be overused. Avoid applying mineral oil to your face if you are suffering from acne, as this can cause breakouts in some people. If you have questions about your skin or how to take care of it, see a dermatologist who has the right treatment measures.
