We all have a tub of Vaseline, for whatever reason. But there are some pretty surprising ways that petroleum jelly can aid you in your beauty routine. Check them out and make the most of this little gem.
10 surprising uses for Vaseline in your beauty routine
- Remove eye makeup
Coat your lids and apply wherever necessary and then wipe away with a tissue or cotton pad.
2. Highlight cheekbones
Apply to the sharpest point of your cheekbone, and let the shine give you that defined, high-cheekbone structure.
3. Gloss your lips
Glide some over your lips for that little bit of balm/gloss action. Combine an eyeshadow colour or some fruit for a little tint, cherry’s work great!
4. Dab vaseline on pulse points across your body for long-lasting perfume
This is a little trick that keeps your fragrance on you all day! You also might want to read our article where we share 6 other ways to let your fragrance linger.
5. Protect your skin if you’re doing a DIY hair-dye
Rub a little Vaseline around your hairline, your ears, your neck and you won’t have to worry about stains.
6. Extend the life of your moisturiser
Are you running low on that favourite body lotion of yours? Just add a little bit of Vaseline to extend its life a little longer.
7. Soften dry hard skin
Apply some on the areas of your skin that are extremely dry and rough, and leave it overnight. You’ll be surprised at how much softer your skin will feel! This even works really well with dry, cracked heels. Just add some socks to help your feet absorb the vaseline.
8. Perfect your mani/pedi applications
Line some vaseline around the edge of your nails before you apply your nail polish. This will help prevent the nail colour from leaking and staining your fingers. Pretty neat huh?
9. Tame your wild brows
If you have stubborn brows that don’t seem to want to stay in place, just apply some Vaseline over them into the way you’ll like to have them remain and they’ll stay put all day. Use an eyebrow wand for help to comb the stubborn pieces flat.
10. Aid earring insertion
If you’re not the type to wear earrings regularly but you’ve had your ears pierced, then apply some Vaseline onto your lobe to help aid your earring through. It’ll ease the slight discomfort and helps it slide in a lot easier!
