Question:
Does the use of Vaseline on the hands or feet prevent water from reaching the skin?

Answer:
No, it does not prevent it at all. All oils that do not solidify on the skin do not invalidate the wudu' (ablution for prayer), because the water flows over the skin and the Vaseline grease or anything else does not block it.
