vaseline:rash

[Guest guest]

Hi Jeanne,

I would think twice about putting any oil at all on your lips to ease the

chapping, as I would anywhere else on my body with or without a SPF, just

because oil would intensify the sun rays and might actually cause you major

burning instead.

One thing I did find with vaseline - maybe for the same reason - is that it

never sank in properly. Since it is a translucent jelly maybe it also caused

any sun rays to intensify. Perhaps this could be your problem - check it

out with your doctor before you do anything 'rash' (ouch!).

Best regards
