Vaseline Is So Much More Versatile Than You Think – Here Are 10 Uses You Never Knew Before
June 13th, 2019
Petroleum jelly is a blend of waxes and mineral oils discovered in 1839 by Robert Chesebrough, who then marketed it as Vaseline.
Although originally advertised as a skincare product, petroleum jelly has many practical uses for your health and beauty needs.
Here are 10 uses for petroleum jelly you might not have thought of before.
1.Fixed cracked dry feet
Let petroleum jelly soothe your dry cracked feet. Rub it all over your feet and generously on dry areas. Put a sock over it and sleep with it on overnight to soften your skin.
2.Pop that highlighter
You can use petroleum jelly as a highlighter. Just dab a little on the high points of your face where you’d put highlighter. This will give you a bright dewy look.
3.Mess-free nail polish manicure
Apply petroleum jelly to your cuticles. Then paint your nails. The jelly will prevent you from getting polish on your cuticles.
4.Make perfume last longer
Petroleum jelly can make you smell nice for longer. Just dab some Vaseline on your pulse points. Then spray your fragrance on.
5.Remove gum from wood
Apply petroleum jelly to gum that is stuck on wood. It will eventually disintegrate the gum. This will allow you to easily remove it.
6.Remove makeup stains from clothing
Wet a washcloth so that it’s damp. Dab your makeup stain with the petroleum jelly. The makeup stain should lift up.
7.Fix a stubborn zipper
Have a stubborn zipper? Don’t rush to the tailor just yet. If you have a zipper that is stuck, try rubbing some Vaseline on either side of the stuck area and try moving it back and forth to lubricate the zipper teeth.
8.Grow out your eyelashes
If you wished you had longer eyelashes, try this trick. Rub some Vaseline on your eyelashes at night. This will help them grow longer and make your lashes look darker and fuller when you don’t feel like putting on mascara.
9.Keep razors like new
Disposable razors are a more economical option when it comes to saving. But you don’t have to throw them away as frequently as you might think. Rub some Vaseline on your razor to keep the blades like new. Just make sure that the razor is completely dry so that it doesn’t rust.
10.Soothe an itchy scalp
Anyone who suffers from dandruff knows how annoying and uncomfortable it can be, especially with those embarrassing flakes. Help soothe your dry, itchy scalp by massaging in some Vaseline and letting it sit for 15-30 minutes before showering.
