Colombian medical specialist Oswaldo Restrepo has highlighted the potential risks associated with using petroleum jelly (vaselina) on the lips. According to the specialist, the appearance of a white layer or thin film on the inner part of the lips upon waking, often overlooked or attributed to dry weather or toothpaste residue, is linked to this practice.
The findings draw attention to common daily skincare habits and their unexpected dermatological effects. The phenomenon, previously dismissed as a minor environmental or cosmetic byproduct, points to a need for greater awareness regarding lip care products.
