Vaseline is a very well-renowned petroleum jelly. It is like a thick wax and provides a lot of moisture to the skin. It is extremely affordable and convenient. Because it is natural, it does not have any side effects.

Vaseline has a lot of benefits and can be used for multiple things enlisted as follows:-

1) As a Lip Balm – Our lips get dry and flaky most of the time. Lip glosses and balms are not very hydrating and they also have added preservatives and chemicals in them. To get soft kissable lips, Vaseline is an old time remedy. Apply a generous layer of it at night and you will get moisturised lips within hours.

2) As a Foot Cream – Cracked heels are a common problem. This is because we often forget to pamper our feet just like we pamper other parts of the body. To get soft baby-like feet, put your feet in warm water. Then apply a cleanser and with the help of a foot scrubber take off the dead skin. Pat dry with a towel and apply a thick layer of jelly to your feet. Do this 2-3 times a week to get beautiful soft heels.

3) As a Makeup Remover – Removing stubborn makeup without ripping off your skin is a little tedious. Vaseline is great to remove makeup as it melts on the face. Start with taking Vaseline on your palm and rub it between your fingers. Then rub it on your face in circular motions as you see the makeup getting off. With the help of a face wipe, wipe off the jelly.

4) As an Eyebrow Gel – Because of the thick consistency, it is great for setting the eyebrows and keeping them in shape.

5) For Taming Split Ends – Split ends give a very off look to the hair. Taming your hair with Vaseline is a better alternative in comparison to gels and sprays that have chemicals in them. For this take a very small quantity of Vaseline and rub it between your fingers. Now run these fingers through the hair ends and your hair would be tamed. You can even spray your hair with water and then do the same for a finer look.
