Keep Cuts And Scrapes Bacteria Free While Swimming

As soon as the hot weather arrives, we all want to throw on our swimsuits and dive in. Sometimes pesky cuts and scrapes can prevent us from doing this, as water can contain all sorts of bacteria that can lead to infections. When the urge to swim takes you though, you have to go and that is where Vaseline can come in. Bandages get soaked and come off which is why they aren't really an option.

Petroleum jelly creates a thin protective barrier that does not come off in the water, and it can help stave off bacteria from getting into cuts and scrapes.
