What do you use Vaseline for? (lemm.ee)

I have a tub of Vaseline and have hardly scratched the surface. I'm curious whether anyone uses it for anything other than their lips.

I read the opposite, that it stops your blood from clotting if you apply it onto a cut!

Does anyone have evidence for Vaseline being good for wounds? This thread was the first place I read it and I'm still skeptical!

I use it for my lips btw. Only after I've brushed my teeth. I used to use it on dry skin in the winter when my skin would literally crack from the cold but that hasn't been a problem for a good few years thankfully!
