Applied topically with massage, Vicks VapoRub is often used to provide a relaxing sensation to areas of tension after a long day. Many also appreciate its fragrance for creating a soothing effect, particularly when applied very lightly to the back of the neck to promote relaxation.
For dry feet or rough heels, a thin layer applied in the evening, followed by socks, can help restore suppleness and comfort. Some also use it occasionally to soften cuticles or protect small areas of friction inside shoes.
Beauty and smart care (in moderation)
Although it's not a cosmetic product, some people use it occasionally to protect their skin. For example, applied around the eyebrows or hairline, it can help prevent streaks when coloring hair at home.
Its protective effect is also appreciated for forming a barrier against cold or wind on exposed areas, always in very small quantities and on healthy skin.
