Vaseline understands that one in six primary care consultations currently relate to skin, and as a healthcare professional you may be looking for detailed information on skin health to enhance your knowledge and understanding. Alternatively, you may be looking for supporting information to pass on to your patients. Vaseline has compiled a selection of reference materials to encourage a greater understanding of dry skin conditions and what we can do to help dry skin.

Introduction:

Vaseline understands that skin is an incredibly complex set of interdependent systems that protect us from the outside environment and from infection. Vaseline has been passionately studying skin for over 130 years, ever since a young man named Robert Chesebrough discovered the skin care properties of Vaseline petroleum jelly. Like Chesebrough, Vaseline’s skin scientists are driven by a passion for skin and an intense curiosity, driving them to understand skin and create accessible, everyday skincare products that can help to bring even the driest skin back to health.
