Hands down, Vaseline beats almost every other product as a beauty hack. You will be shocked by what this brand of petroleum jelly can do for your body.
Here are the numerous things Vaseline can do for you. Thank me later!
Note that these benefits can also be provided by similar products of different brands, such as Johnson’s.
- Use Vaseline as an alternative to expensive eye-makeup remover. It does the job and is gentle on delicate eye-area skin.
-
It is also useful as a substitute for mascara. It makes your lashes appear fuller and glossier and longer, some swear it conditions and makes lashes grow.
-
Out of lip gloss? Or want to add a little shine to your matte lipstick? A swipe of the jelly gives a beautiful sheen.
-
For the light-skinned ladies, you can also use Vaseline to add a little colour to your face. Mix Vaseline with your lipstick to make a crème blush for cheeks.
-
Have stubborn ‘elephant skin’ on your elbows or heels? Massage jelly into them to soften texture and repair cracks.
-
If you’re growing your hair out, rub on split ends between haircuts to minimise the frayed look. (But use sparingly or your hair will appear greasy).
-
As you’re getting ready to go out, rub some jelly on pulse points before applying perfume. It’ll make the scent last longer.
So do yourself a favour and always carry a jar of vaseline in your bag.
