What do you use Vaseline for?

I have a tub of Vaseline and have hardly scratched the surface. I'm curious whether anyone uses it for anything other than their lips.

I'm pretty sure that most of what Neosporin is is Vaseline... And it makes sense. It's basically Vaseline with a mild antibiotic.

Vaseline is awesome for preventing scars too: when the wound is still open, use Neosporin, but after it closes up a bit and is just healing, switch to Vaseline and just keep it in Vaseline until it's totally gone.

This.

Wounds heal best when they're kept moist and have a barrier.

No need for the Neosporin at all, just use the vaseline
