7 SURPRISINGLY BEAUTY USES OF VASELINE

Everyone knows that Vaseline is for moisturizing your skin and relieving chapped skin but that's not all!  You can use Vaseline for various benefits.  Continue reading to find out more.


  1. To make your perfume last longer.  Yes!  Using a cotton swab and a small dab of Vaseline on your pulse points (in case you're wondering that is your wrist, behind your ears, behind your knees and even on your ankles) before you spray on your perfume.  The Vaseline will absorb the scent for an even more lasting effect.  
  2. To protect your skin when you dye your hair.  Spreading along your hairline before you use your dye will create a layer of protection to your skin.  You will avoid having your face look like the dye which can be a complete epic fail and it's easier to clear off.
  3. If you have dry, cracked cuticles.  Rubbing them with Vaseline will help them.
  4. Exfoliate your lips.  You can do a quick lip scrub by adding a little bit of white sugar or brown sugar to your Vaseline and applying to your lips.  Rub for about 10-15 seconds, this will remove any dead skin.  Rinse then apply just the Vaseline. 
  5. To create lush lashes.  Vaseline works as an alternative to mascara if you're running low.  Just brush on a small amount of Vaseline to make your lashes pop.
  6. Protect your skin from relaxers.  If you're like me, you experienced those harsh chemicals that somehow got on your face, neck, or ear.   Well, just like the hair dye, mentioned in benefit #2, Vaseline works as a protectant to the skin.  Those sores can be pretty painful.
  7. If you swim a lot, Vaseline can save your ears. Just drop a little on a cotton ball then mold the cotton ball in your ears before swimming.  This will keep unwanted moisture out.
