Frozen Door Seals- any tips?

I use my car every day and with the cold weather it is becoming more difficult to get inside it in the morning. The car is not garaged.
Any suggestions as to what to put on the door seals to stop them sticking as much in the cold?
I was going to try WD40 or rubber grease.

Someone on here suggested wiping the door seals with silicon spray - I've just done mine to see if it helps in the morning....

Just dont try mick's favourite de-icer - brake fluid. I presume that anything that prevents moisture forming on the surface of the seal such as silicone spray or maybe even furniture polish might work

Vaseline should do the trick, and last a bit longer than WD40.

Vaseline is my favourite.... works every time.

Apologies for not getting back sooner to say thanks for the replies.
I used the vaseline and can now get in and out of the car very easliy.
Once again thanks.
