Shea butter (SPF 3–6)
Zinc oxide (a natural physical sunscreen)
Mixing a little zinc oxide powder with Vaseline, for example, creates a DIY sun-protective balm.
6. Lock in Hydration After Swimming
Swimming in pools or the ocean can strip your skin of moisture, leaving it more vulnerable to sunburn. After rinsing off, apply Vaseline to damp skin. This locks in hydration and keeps your skin barrier strong against sun damage.
Final Thoughts
Vaseline is not a substitute for sunscreen, but it can be an excellent companion in your sun care routine. Use it to lock in sunscreen, protect sensitive areas, and heal your skin after sun exposure. For the best protection, always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, and let Vaseline enhance its effects.
With the right approach, you can get the most out of Vaseline—not just as a moisturizer, but also as a supportive tool in protecting your skin under the sun.
