Petroleum jelly can be used as a lubricant, though it probably isn't appropriate anywhere that outgassing might be an issue. It's also shouldn't be used for situations where there is significant heat or contact with fluid in order to avoid contamination.

Why is lipstick easily removed by petroleum jelly but not by water?

Like dissolves like. Lipstick is made of greasy or polar molecules, and so is petroleum jelly. Water is a polar molecule. Just like oil and water don't mix, nor does water and lipstick. Water is good at removing polar molecules (like salt for instance), but not good at removing grease. That is why you have to use soap to clean clothes -- because water alone does not remove grease or oils.See the Related Questions for more about how soap works.

Is it Okay to use water on eyelids to moisturize?

Water won't help moisturize your skin (unless you're drinking it). I recently went through a spell of puffy, dry, very swollen eyelids caused by the skin on me eyelids being dry.What happened was I noticed the skin on my eyelids was dry so I used my face moisturizer on my eyelids and it made them really puffy, red, swollen, and much worse.SO, what you can do is use plain old petroleum jelly (like vaseline) on youe eyelids before you go to bed and it will moisturize your eyelids without making them puffy or anything.Petroleum Jelly is a great moisture for your skin (you can use it as chapstick too) and it's completely safe to use around your eyes.You can buy a small container of petroleum jelly at any grocery store, drug store, and even gas stations.Replaced by Mike 2 after thequestion and answer were vandalised

Are there any side-effects when you use Vaseline on the skin?

a lot of people are allergic to petroleum jelly, which is what Vaseline is, so yes, there can be side effects. Also it is actually drying to the skin, long term, so it's slightly counterproductive to use it as a moisturiser. It is also not suitable as a sexual lubricant if condoms are also being used as petroleum jelly damages latex, thus rendering the condom unsafe.
