Vasoline..help or worthless in 48-50F water

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

    Thow out the theory of exposer to water? Move and you die from the cold? How far are your swims in cold water and are they done without a wet suit?? I have swam in the 48 to 50F water and vasoline, lanoin or such have not proved to be any help. Two caps, earplugs and moving as fast as possible is the best way to keep warm or less cold.
