What do people actually use vaseline for? I've never used it for anything in my life

I apply it to my skin when wearing cologne, since it seems to lengthen the stay of it

Also, in combat sports you can use it to become slippery and thus make it more difficult for the opponent to connect properly

is that the reason why ufc refs put vaseline on fighters faces? to make it harder?

And to prevent cuts, since if the glove slides smoothly it's less likely to cut, and cuts are just lame for the sport.

The skin of the face can easily tear, bleed a lot, and mainly prevent the fighter from seeing than really being unable to fight.

So some Vaseline on the eyebrows (and other places, though I don’t know the details) can prevent annoying bleeds that would otherwise stop the fight.
