applying a thin coat of vasoline to the core + arms is messy i'm sure, but does it help when wearing a wetsuit??

I have tried everything, even camphorated oil and baby oil mixed together, this was a very good mixture. But don't get it on the arms. The camphorated oil breaks tension in the water and causes slippage.
A friend tried graphite grease it went solid in the cold water and he had great trouble swimming. He said he felt like he was drowding.
All the marathon swimmers used lanolin it was the protection that sheeps wool has.
