Have you heard about all of the great beauty tricks using vaseline? Vaseline, also known around the world as petroleum jelly, is a mult-iuse product that can be taken advantage of domestically and cosmetically. It’s a colorless and odorless ointment whose oily consistency offers added skin moisture without exposing it to harmful chemicals. Plus, believe it or not, its high content of antioxidants and essential minerals allows it to posses many aesthetic benefits that serve to complement any beauty routine. Its emollient properties help reduce harshness and impurities that tend to accumulate over time, besides leaving the dermis softer and protected. Also, it’s much cheaper that other treatments sold in the market and can be applied more than once. Since many people don’t know how to use it, we’d like to share fascinating ways of using Vaseline as a beauty ally. Try them!
15 Vaseline Beauty Hacks Worth Knowing
#1 Restore cracked heels
Slather a generous amount of Vaseline on dry feet, throw on a pair of fuzzy socks and leave them on overnight for super smooth skin the next morning.
#2 Remove eyelash glue
Rocking faux-lashes for a big event? It can be tricky to get them off without pulling out your natural lashes, too. Rub a bit of Vaseline on your lash-line and the falsies will come off much easier.
#3 Aid earring insertion
If you don't wear earrings regularly, putting those studs in can be surprisingly painful. Rub your lobes with a little Vaseline beforehand for an easier time.
#4 To DIY your own lip balm
With your q-tip, scoop a small amount of Vaseline/petroleum jelly into your jar. Scoop an even smaller amount of your item of choice (lipstick, blush, shadow…you can even use Kool-aid or chocolate for a yummy flavored lip gloss!). Add a small amount at a time until you are happy with the shade. Stir well. ENJOY! How easy was that?! It gives you a nice balm feeling and not goopy/sticky like some glosses! And you will have the added benefits of long lasting soft lips as the Vaseline locks in moisture!
#5 Define Your Lashes
If you’re embracing the no-makeup look, trade in your mascara for Vaseline. Smooth it over your lashes for a fuller set of dark, glossy eyelashes. Bonus: Vaseline also makes a great lash conditioner.
#6 Seals in split ends
Unfortunately, there’s no way to repair split ends for good. But you can hide them. How? Just put some vaseline on them. It’ll seal them in and make them look like they aren’t there. But don’t do this too often. It takes a couple of shampoos to remove vaseline from your hair.
#7 Make up remover
Use cotton balls and Vaseline to remove that stubborn make up that isn’t just coming off.
#8 Minimize the appearance of blackheads
Wipe some Vaseline over your affected area, cover with a piece of clingfilm, and apply two hot damp washcloths for five minutes. Once the five minutes is up, remove the washcloths and using two clean tissues gently squeeze the area to remove the blackheads.
#9 Highlight cheekbones
Illuminators are all the rage, but don't think you have to spend extra money to get the gorgeously glow-y look. Dab a bit of Vaseline on your cheekbones for a dewy finish.
#10 Become a manicure master
A nail painting novice? This tricks is for you. Apply a thin layer of Vaseline around the edges of your nails, so if you make any mistakes, the polish won't stick.
#11 Relieve razor burns
Relieve razor burns by applying cold Vaseline(place in the freezer for 5 minutes) to the effected area directly after shaving.
#12 Prevent hair dye from seeping onto your forehead
Softly dab all over your hairline and keep that box hair dye from dying your forehead the color of your new hairdo.
#13 Scar Treatment
Constant application of this product over your skin is an effective and economic solution against scars that aesthetically affect the body. Its high concentration of vitamin E and fatty acids help repair damaged skin, improving the process of tissue repair. Apply a little bit of Vaseline over the desired areas you wish to help scar and massage until it’s absorbed. Repeat up to 2 times a day, a minimum of 4 times a week.
#14 Make your perfume last longer.
Want to make your perfume stay for longer, apply some Vaseline to the area that you are going to spray your perfume and this will let the fragrance last for longer.
#15 Transform matte eye-shadows
Prime lids with petroleum jelly before applying matte shadows to give them an instantly glossy sheen.
