Sponsored

When it comes to the versatility of beauty products, only a few can rival the classic status of Vaseline. That humble jar of petroleum jelly, sitting in the back of bathroom cabinets, is so much more than just a soother of skin on chapped lips or dry elbows. Vaseline is a multitasking wonder ready to enhance your beauty routine in ways you probably have never thought possible. Following are some ways to add Vaseline hacks to your daily skincare/makeup routine. 

 

Long-Lasting Perfume:

Apply Vaseline on your pulse before spraying your perfume. It facilitates the locking of the perfume and makes it last long.

Lip Scrub   

 

Apply sugar and salt to Vaseline to form a mild exfoliator for your lips. Massage your lips with the mix for 1-2 minutes and leave on for around 5 to 10 minutes. Gently wipe it off, apply normal Vaseline, and you will have smooth lips.

Lash Serum

Mix Vaseline with either olive or coconut oil and store it in an empty mascara tube. Apply to your lashes every night. This will keep your eyelashes moist to avoid breakage and allow more growth.

Foot Cream

Not Having Foot Cream? No problem! Vaseline is excellent for cracked heels and leaves your feet soft and silky.

Brightening Pack

Vaseline can be used as a brightening pack. Whip up a mixture of Vaseline and lemon juice for radiant skin.

Nail Growth Booster

Apply Vaseline on your cuticles and nails regularly for some strong and rapidly growing nails.

Highlighter alternative

Dab a little bit of Vaseline on your cheekbones, eyelids, and browbones for glowing skin.

A few surprising Vaseline hacks

If you happen to have dry skin, Vaseline is soft and can be applied to your face to remove makeup without irritation that comes about while using face wipes.

Treat Damaged Hair Ends

Hair ends are particularly prone to dryness and damage. Apply some Vaseline onto the ends as a leave-in conditioner to smooth flyaways, reduce split ends, and add moisture and shine.

Blush Substitute

Mix Vaseline with your favorite lipstick. It will create a creamy blush.

Eczema Relief

Apply Vaseline to very dry, irritated patches immediately after a shower when your skin is still moist to soothe eczema.

Shiny Hair

For glossy locks and a healthy scalp, massage a little Vaseline into your scalp roots before shampooing.

Tidy Eyebrows

For eyebrows that won’t behave, stroke some Vaseline across them; this works just as well as eyebrow gel at keeping your hair in place all day.

Stop Tanning Streaks

Apply some Vaseline to the drier parts of your skin before applying self-tanner to avoid streaking and patching.

Help Earrings Slide On

If you’ve recently had your ears pierced or just have trouble getting earrings on, a little Vaseline on your earlobes and the backs of the earrings will help them slide on more smoothly—and keep the irritation at bay.

It’s versatile and thus a must-have in any beauty routine. From skincare to makeup hacks, there isn’t anything that this jar of petroleum jelly can’t pull off. Next time you’re looking for a beauty fix, reach for Vaseline—you’ll be amazed at the results.
