Vaseline (petroleum jelly) is a versatile item to have on your Camino packing list. It can be used for preventing and treating blisters, chafing, and dry skin. Choose a small, travel-sized container that is easy to carry and store in your backpack. Apply Vaseline to areas prone to friction, such as your feet and thighs, to reduce the risk of blisters and irritation. It can also be used as a lip balm, for minor cuts and scrapes, and to soothe dry, cracked skin. Vaseline’s multi-purpose use makes it an essential item for maintaining comfort and skin health during your journey.
