Can Aquaphor be used as a body lotion or is it only for specific issues/ areas of concern in the body?

Aquaphor isn’t a hydrator, but it will lock in whatever moisture exists — so you can use it anywhere but make sure you’re drinking enough water and using a moisturizer under the aquaphor so it has something to seal in!

Agree! Make sure to use humectant products first - lotions with hyaluronic acid or glycerin for example. Then seal it all in with aquaphor and put on cozy pjs!

I like the necessaire body serum underneath aquaphor.

As SE1 mentioned, aquaphor and Vaseline are both occlusives, not moisturizers. Basically their job is to keep whatever is on the skin there. You use them to keep wounds moist because it acts as a seal that helps keep the wound from drying out, not to actually add moisture. Same with skincare. Some people do what they call “slugging” which is where they apply their skincare products, moisturize, and add a thin layer of Vaseline to lock it all in.

I was recently (in April) fired from a good nursing position that I was at for 5 years.

Is this something I should even consider? I miss my patients and some of my coworkers and the pay is better, but I don't feel like I would really be welcome to come back.
