What product you ask would cause me such happy moment in a time when the skin around my nose (and under it) is red, peeling, itchy and just generally unpleasant?
Petroleum Jelly (aka Vaseline) - $2.00 to $4.00 (depending on brand and size), Drugstores nationwide
Now perhaps you are scoffing at my POTW this week. Maybe you consider it some old fashioned relic of another time and think why would I ever have this next to my lovely creams and potions? Because it works. Very well. For many many things. For example, whenever a cold strikes and I am blowing my nose roughly 256 times a day, nothing is as soothing to the overused area as a thin coat of Petroleum jelly. It soothes, it protects and no it does not clog the pores in the area. When my hands get really dry and crack in the winter? Once again, petroleum jelly to the rescue. What if my lips are chapped? Or if I have run out of eye make-up remover? Stretch marks? Sensitive baby skin?
The list goes on and on.
Now some simply called petroleum jelly "Vaseline", a brand name just like "Kleenex" for a tissue. If you are a "Vaseline" person go for it, but know that for the most part a simple generic is the same in the this case and half the price. In fact, the jumbo jar in my cabinet? Target brand of course.
It is cheap. It works. You will be SO grateful to have it around when you least expect it. Go get some and survive winter and every other season!
Keep looking fabulous,

P.S. Just because this is hilarious:
