How to use Vaseline in your daily beauty routine

Vaseline can serve as an excellent replacement for many beauty products in your makeup bag.

Vaseline is widely used in industry, medicine and cosmetology, but few people know that it is good as an independent remedy. The ointment can easily replace our usual beauty products and eliminate the need to buy some expensive personal care products. In our article, you will find out why Vaseline is useful in every girl's cosmetic bag.

Instead of lip balm

Using Vaseline as a lip balm is a well-known beauty trick. In order to soften and moisturize the skin in this sensitive area, you only need one pea ointment. Vaseline can be applied both on bare lips and over your favorite lipstick for a glossy effect. The ointment will also help eliminate small peeling on chapped lips: just rub petroleum jelly into the skin, and then begin to gently scrub your lips with an old toothbrush. The result will exceed expectations!

Instead of moisturizer

For those who have faced the problem of cracked skin on their knees and elbows, Vaseline will be a real salvation. A small amount of ointment will relieve dryness and effectively moisturize these areas. And if the skin of the hands is very weathered in the cold, you can make a healing mask: just grease your hands with petroleum jelly and put on disposable gloves at night - we assure you that you will wake up in the morning with baby-smooth skin.

Instead of cuticle oil and nail polish remover

Vaseline perfectly moisturizes the cuticle and saves you from having to purchase special expensive nail products. In addition, a drop of ointment mixed with the same amount of toothpaste and lemon juice can replace nail polish remover. There is another useful beauty hack: before you paint your nails, apply a small amount of Vaseline to the area along the cuticle - then you will be able to make a neat manicure without staining the skin.

Make-up remover and skin cleanser

A small amount of petroleum jelly applied to a cotton pad can remove even the most persistent mascara and eyelash pencil. In the same way, you can effectively cleanse the skin of the face, neck and back.

As a body scrub

By mixing sea salt and petroleum jelly, you save yourself the hassle of spending money on a body scrub. A homemade product will perfectly exfoliate the skin and make it soft and velvety.

Instead of face and eye cream

Rumor has it that even Marilyn Monroe herself refused expensive creams in favor of ordinary petroleum jelly - it was so effective in moisturizing the skin. This tool is also suitable for caring for the sensitive area around the eyes: just warm it up in the palms of your hands and beat it into the skin with patting movements before going to bed.

As a universal make-up tool

Vaseline can become a truly indispensable tool in your cosmetic bag. For example, you can mix it with a small amount of lipstick and apply it to the apples of your cheeks instead of blush. You can also use Vaseline as a base for your eyeshadows to make them go on evenly.

To eliminate split ends

Vaseline will help restore split and dry hair to a healthy look: just take a pea of ointment, rub it between your palms and apply to the tips.

Instead of brow gel

To “pacify” bushy and unruly eyebrows, apply a small amount of petroleum jelly to them before going to bed. Overnight, the ointment will soften the hairs, and they will fall one to one.

To make the perfume last longer on the skin

Vaseline can easily replace an expensive cream booster to enhance the aroma. To do this, before spraying your favorite perfume, apply it to the pulsation points on the wrists and neck - the perfume will definitely last longer than usual on the skin.

In order not to stain the skin during hair coloring

Girls who always dye their hair on their own know that permanent dye can get on the skin due to one awkward movement, and it will be extremely difficult to remove such stains. However, if you apply the ointment along the hairline on the back of the neck and on the forehead before dyeing, this problem can be avoided.

To avoid staining your teeth after applying bright lipstick

You can’t count how many star exits on the red carpet turned into a failure due to the fact that insidious red lipstick stained the snow-white smile of celebrities. We suggest you not repeat the mistakes of celebrities and use a useful beauty trick: before you start lip makeup, apply a thin layer of Vaseline to your front teeth.

For hair styling

You're more likely to give up styling wax when you find out that petroleum jelly can tame your hair just as well.

Against the appearance of corns

If you've bought new shoes and you're worried that your first outing might end up with painful blisters on your feet, take our advice: put some Vaseline on your feet and they'll be safe and sound!
