Here are some of the benefits of using Vaseline on chapped skin:\r\n\r\nMoisture Locking: Vaseline acts as an occlusive agent, sealing in moisture and preventing water loss from the skin. This helps to keep the skin hydrated and soft. \r\n\r\nHealing Barrier: It forms a protective barrier on the skin, which can aid in the healing of minor cuts, scrapes, and burns. \r\n\r\nSoothing Irritation: Vaseline can soothe dry patches and chapped lips, providing relief from irritation and discomfort. \r\n\r\nThank you for helping to keep our student's skin healthy during the cols Nebraska winter.","fullyFundedDate":1766153086380,"projectUrl":"project/help-for-chapped-skin-and-lips/9955077/","projectTitle":"Help for Chapped Skin and Lips","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nichols","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9852592"},{"teacherId":9852592,"projectId":9950184,"letterContent":"Healthy snacks for students have a significant impact on their overall health and academic performance.
