Contestants may not apply body grease, gels, balms, lotions, oils, or other substances to the hair, face or body. This includes the use of excessive amounts of water "dumped" on a contestant to make him/her slippery. However, petroleum jelly may be applied solely to the facial area at cage side in the presence of an inspector, referee, or a person designated by the commission. Any contestant applying anything other than petroleum jelly in an approved fashion at cage side may be penalized a point or subject to loss by disqualification.
