Letter of Recommendation: Aquaphor

Say goodbye to the days of 12-step routines with unnecessary, expensive products that leave your wallet gasping for air. Why? Because there really isn’t much that Aquaphor’s magical healing ointment can’t do. 

The struggle of chapped lips is only increasing with winter around the corner, but luckily Aquaphor’s got your back. The comfort blanket that the healing ointment provides is unmatched. You might have thought of Aquaphor as your trusty treatment for a rash, but there is so much more to it than that.

Cracked feet from the hike you took last week? Aquaphor will soothe those sores away. Dry cuticles, scars, or flaky skin? Aquaphor is there for you.

But wait, there’s more! Aquaphor is even great for replacing a glowy highlighter or brow gel in your makeup routine. Thanks to its rich, melting texture, the dewy effect lasts longer and looks more natural than highlighter.  

It’s honestly shocking that this universal product is both affordable and accessible. You can buy an Aquaphor lip balm for just $4, whereas most other trendy lip products are $20 or more. Even better, it doesn’t just stop at classic lip balm packaging; Aquaphor comes in tubs, tubes, sticks, and sprays, each perfect for a different occasion. 

You might be wondering why Aquaphor is so special? Isn’t Vaseline the same thing? Well not quite, and there’s a bit of science to it! Aquaphor is semi-occlusive, which means that air and moisture can pass through the skin creating a breathable layer that heals wounds, whereas Vaseline is occlusive which means it will block out oxygen making it more likely to clog pores or feel a bit suffocating. While it all comes down to personal preference, in my book, Aquaphor is the best multi-use skin care champion to have with you at all times.

So, do yourself a favor and join the Aquaphor fan club – your skin will thank you later!
