    I’m in welding/machining and use Vaseline on my hands and arms to form a solid barrier between my skin and the machine oil, since otherwise it gives me hives.

      What do you do for your face? Does it give you acne or do you become sort of acclimated to it?

        It never gave me acne (it’s non-comedogenic and sterile), and in my experience helped reduce it. Some people might react to it though! Everyone’s skin is so frustratingly different lol
