When I was younger I used Vaseline all the time – as an eye makeup remover, to moisturize, as a gloss. Somewhere along the way I lost my way with this magical jelly and I feel like I have been reunited with a long lost love.
Read more for my favorite ways to use Vaseline:
- Vaseline is a great eye makeup remover. Simply smooth over your eye and gently work the formula in. You will have clean, moisturized eyes in no time. I have also heard that this is a great way to keep your lashes long. I
- For use as a night gel on eyes. I love to put my night eye cream on and then gently pat a bit of Vaseline over the cream. My eyes still absorb the vitamins from the night cream, however with the addition of the Vaseline, I wake up with eyes feeling ultra hydrated.
- Most of us know the old trick of slathering your feet with Vaseline, putting on socks and then falling asleep. I have done this trick several times and it works amazingly well. One addition I have is to put a drop of an essential oil such as lavender to the Vaseline as you are massaging the jelly into your feet. This adds the feeling of a spa like experience.
- I got this tip from Michelle Phan’s website. She recommends adding Vaseline to your pulse points just before spritizing on your perfume for a longer lasting scent. I have tried this and it definitely works!
- I am a lip gloss junkie. That said, there are certain colors of lipstick that I can’t live without. Vaseline is my staple gloss to slather on lips when I need a clear gloss to give my favorite lipstick some oomph and shine.
- If you wake up with chaffed lips and need a quick remedy, try this: slather vaseline on your lips and lightly brush them with a soft bristled toothbrush. Bye, bye chapped lips and hello lusciousness!
- Apply the tiniest amount of Vaseline to fingertips when you are looking to tame away those pesky flyways.
- Apply to the very ends of your hair for the look of hair that is shiny and split end free.
- Have you ever had a bottle of nail polish where you can’t unscrew the cap? For some reason this always happens on my top coat polishes…not anymore though. I simply swipe some Vaseline around the lip and they never get stuck.
- And one of my favorites is to slather Vaseline on body parts that naturally get very rough easily right before a spray tan to prevent streaks. Just slather on backs of ankles, knees and hands to stop those unwanted streaks.
