15 AMAZING USES OF VASELINE YOU PROBABLY DIDN’T KNOW

Spread the love

I bet most, if not
all of us grew up using Vaseline Petroleum Jelly. This light yellowish/buttery
coloured slimy gel in a transparent jar with a blue cover still remains
fresh in our memories. It’s been a skin-protecting staple
since 1872, when the first patent for petroleum jelly was introduced. But did
it ever occur to you that the all time evergreen Vaseline has more beauty and
fashion uses than just rubbing it on children’s skin? Bet you didn’t!
Bebeakinboade.com presents to you 15 other amazing things you can do with the
petroleum jelly.

1. CUTICLE CREAM: Keep a little tub of
Vaseline by the sink and work into cuticles twice a day. It’s all you’ll need
to prevent cuticles from growing. Vaseline moisturize dehydrated nailbed.

2. FACIAL MOISTURIZER: Because it’s
non-comedogenic, (does not block the pores of skin) petroleum jelly is perfect
for locking in moisture without risking breakouts.

3. EYEBROW TAMER: Control errant and unruly
hairs and shape brows by brushing on a tiny dab of petroleum jelly using a
toothbrush.

4. DIY LIP PLUMPER: Put a pinch of cinnamon
in your Vaseline and you’ve got a lip plumper that rivals anything you can buy
at the beauty counter.

5. NAIL POLISH NEATENER: Before applying
polish, trace petroleum jelly over cuticles and the skin around your nails
using an eyeliner brush or pointed cotton swab. If you then accidentally paint
a little outside the lines you can just wipe off the mistakes after lacquer
dries.

6. SHOE POLISH: If you don’t have standard
polish on hand, shine and soften shoes almost as well by rubbing on Vaseline
and buffing off the excess.

7. EYE MAKEUP REMOVER: Just a dab instantly
breaks up the toughest mascaras and waterproof liners, while leaving skin
around the eyes moisturized.

8. HAIR DYE STAIN PREVENTER: Keep hair dyes
from staining your forehead and ears by rubbing a thin layer of petroleum jelly
just below your hairline and over each ear before coloring hair.

9. PERFUME PROLONGER: Smooth a bit of
petroleum jelly on your skin wherever you’re going to apply perfume, and spray
as usual. It will help the scent to stick.

10. MAKESHIFT MASCARA: Sweep on a light coating
of petroleum jelly instead of mascara. It fakes the appearance of longer,
thicker lashes, but looks much more natural.

11. LIPSTICK STAIN REMOVER: The next time you get
lip-color on clothing, blot petroleum jelly on the spot as a pre-treatment,
then wash as usual.

12. RING REMOVER: Have you been wearing your ring
for a long time and it seems a bit hard sliding it off? use petroleum jelly as
a lubricant.

13. OVERNIGHT HAND & FOOT SOFTENER: Slather
your hands and feet in petroleum jelly and wear socks and gloves to bed. This
will help to lock in the moisture and keep it from rubbing off. By morning,
they’ll be soft and smooth — and will stay that way.

14. LUMINIZER: Petroleum jelly can be used on its
own as makeup to add a little shine to eyelids cheekbones or lips, creating a
surprisingly luxe looking sheen for such an affordable formula.

15. PREVENT ‘CHAFFS’: If at any particular time
you have to struggle with chaffing skin, rub petroleum jelly wherever you tend
to chafe. It’ll lubricate and protect skin.
