The Original Selling Point
This is the most obvious use for Vaseline – as it’s what it’s marketed for, after all – but we couldn’t leave it off this list. Dry, cracked, and chapped lips are a problem at some point for most people – especially in either extreme cold or extreme heat. Not only are they unsightly – and make applying lipstick impossible – they’re also painful.

Applying Vaseline to sore lips not only instantly soothes them and acts as a moisturizer but also helps to protect them against further damage by the elements – so it’s a great all-rounder. It’s so successful that the company offers small pots (perfect for slipping into a purse or pocket) in multiple different flavors for this use specifically.
