While there are thousands of skincare products to choose from, sometimes it’s the simplest that makes all the difference. The humble Vaseline, which has been around since its launch in 1872, is probably the most versatile beauty product you can find. There is probably not a single house in the world that does not have Vaseline. Here are 12 ways you can use it to improve your life and especially your beauty.
1. Natural skin glow
No time for makeup? When rushing out of the house, apply Vaseline as a highlighter to the forehead, upper cheeks, and inner corners of the eyes for a natural, luminous look.
2. Chapped lips
Vaseline is the best lip balm you can find. To protect your lips from drastic weather changes, apply a thin layer of Vaseline. It can soften and moisturize dry and parched lips.
3. Anti-wrinkle cream
If those expensive anti-aging creams haven’t given you the results they promised, use Vaseline. It can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Before bed, apply Vaseline to your crow’s feet to moisturize and help increase your skin’s elasticity.
4. Protection against stains
When coloring hair or touching up the roots, apply a layer of Vaseline to the hairline and neck areas. The lubricated gelatin acts as a barrier to prevent stains on the skin.
5. Cracked feet
Winters can be harsh on feet as the skin dries out and cracks. By applying a layer of Vaseline to the bottom of your feet and covering it overnight with a sock, you can lock in moisture so your feet stay soft.
6. Manicure
Rather than splurge on expensive salons, many women prefer to do their manicures at home. If you prefer to do your own manicure, applying Vaseline around the cuticles can prevent spillage and spillage of polish, creating a clean and flawless manicure at home.
7. Tamed strands of hair
You can also use Vaseline as a substitute for hair paste or gel. Vaseline’s thick texture makes it easy to tame strands of hair and individual pieces with your fingers.
8. Preserve the razor
Vaseline can be used to protect metal surfaces from rust. Apply a coat of Vaseline to razors to prevent them from rusting.
9. Eyelash moisturizer
Do you want your eyelashes to be thick and long? Coating your lashes with a small amount of Vaseline can help stimulate lash growth. Vaseline will also help your lashes to become thicker and healthier by keeping them hydrated.
10. Perfume Base
Keep smelling good for longer with this simple trick. Apply a small amount of Vaseline to pulse points before spraying on your favorite perfume. Doing this can extend the longevity of the fragrance and keep it going throughout the day.
11. Eye makeup remover
Came home after a long night and can’t wait to go to bed? Apply a thin layer of Vaseline on the eyelids and with a single stroke remove even the most persistent makeup.
12. Nail Polish Caps
Nail polish caps tighten as the polish between the cap and the bottle dries. Spreading a thin layer of Vaseline around the inside of a nail polish cap will allow you to easily unscrew them. A simple and effective solution.
