Blue Magic Petroleum Jelly 12 oz / 355 ml - Multi-Purpose for Hair, Skin & Scalp
Petroleum jelly does one thing very well. It sits on top and stops water leaving, which makes this 12 oz tub a sealer rather than a moisturiser. Use it that way round, on damp skin or damp ends rather than dry ones, and it earns its place.
Blue Magic adds aloe vera and vitamin E to the base. The texture is soft enough to scoop with a finger and it warms quickly in the palm, which is the easiest way to get a thin, even layer instead of a lump.
- Seals damp ends and edges after a leave-in
- Softens rough, ashy skin on elbows, knees and heels
- Protects the hairline during pressing and setting
- Takes makeup off gently
- Softens cuticles and dry hands
On the scalp it is worth being deliberate. Petroleum jelly will not sink in, so it belongs along the partings in small amounts to stop moisture escaping, rather than raked through the roots. The same rule applies at the hairline before a press or a set, where a thin film keeps direct heat off the skin.
A little goes a long way, and too much on the hair will read as greasy for days. Fine for any texture as long as the amounts stay small.

Application tips
Thin is the whole trick. Take less than a fingertip, warm it in the palm until it turns liquid, and press it over a leave-in while the hair is still damp rather than using it on its own.
On skin, apply straight out of the bath while the surface is still wet. For rough heels, a layer at night under a pair of socks does more than three applications in daylight.
Results
Water stays where you put it. Damp ends stay soft into the next day, edges hold their shape without going crisp, and rough patches on elbows and heels smooth out over a week of nightly use. Around the hairline it keeps heat off the skin during a press. It does not sink in and it is not supposed to, so anything applied thickly will simply stay there.
