Is Vaseline Petrolium Jelly a good substitute for sunblock cream?
I heard from somebody a thick layer of petrolium jelly is good for protecting your skin from sun damage? Is it true?

Themocracy
better against the cold than sun
No… You’ll fry.
no it don’t have the added sunblock needed for the sun rays
No it gives you no protection from UV waves
i agree with the above post, better in the cold
i don’t think it would protect i think it would draw the sun towards you!
Yes if you want to look like you’ve just been born
No – not true and what a mess!!!
No, but Zinc Oxide is.
Absolutely not.
no, there’s no SPF in it all it’s going to do is attract the sun and you’ll get a sunburn.
A thick layer of anything is probably good for protecting your skin from sun damage, but I don’t think it’d be fun to wear.
no, but it works well as a lube substitute in the garage
i wouldent think there would be enough SPF to do anyhting unles in like a CM of the stuf slatherd on you so as a substitute it would jsut be esyer to go buy sunblock
i have a small pot of vaseline with sunblock specially in it, (its not the normal stuff) but i wouldnt use it all over!
u could use a moisturiser with sunblock in it?
thats if you dont want to use proper stuff! lol
you will burn
vaseline is good for chapped skin diaper rash etc but not as sunblock
It will melt, and is not water proof. It is better against the cold that heat. It is ment to be gentle on skin……and is weak against the sun. It is see-through, when sunlight shines through it, it will act like a magnifying glass and intesify the UV rays. It is great for tanning but, it is not the healthyest thing to do.
no, the sunblock cream has chemicals that absorb UV light. While Vaseline does not.
Used motor oil would be better, because it is black and sticky. Of course everyone you know will act like they never knew you. And you could be mistaken for the creature from the black lagoon. and you will have a unique aroma.
Absolutely not.
NOOOOOOOOO!!!and if you do your sure to get skin cancer!
No-it will do just the opposite
its good as an aftersun if you stay out of the sun but not as a sun protection
Petroleum Jelly is really bad for you. It’s made out of petroleum which is an oil product. It is also in chapstick. It will NOT protect your skin fro sun damage. It will most likely fry your skin. Use sunblock.
it will causee you to get a severe burn. do not use it for a sunscreen
Absolutely not. The only thing that protects your skin from sun damage is a full-spectrum sunscreen.
If anything, the Vaseline might help bake it. Not to mention make your skin all greasy and encourage breakouts.
NO. You will burn very fast. Might as well go without.
