Health & Beauty: 10 Uses of Vaseline

Vaseline has become one of my favourites as I have touched on it a bit before.  Beauty wise, it can be used in so many different ways.  Below is 10 Vaseline uses that can help your budgets and bring out that natural beautiful you.

Your very own Homemade Body Scrub:
Mix Vaseline with some Epsom salt and scrub body.  Do this before you shower so you can wash that Vaseline off.  Before showering, take a towel and wipe off the excess Vaseline.  This will make it easier for you in the shower.

Lip Plumper on a budget:

Think you need an expensive lip plumper? The answer is no.  A very small amount of Cinnamon powder mixed with Vaseline will do the trick!

Preventing Stains from Hair Colour on your skin:

Simply apply a moderate layer of Vaseline around your hairline, you can than proceed with the application of your hair colour.  You will notice that the hair colour will not go through the Vaseline, leaving no hair colour on your skin. 

Foot and hand Softener:

I learned this the hard way but Vaseline does the same as any other Foot cream.  The best way to get softer feet and hands is to moisturize your hands and feet with Vaseline before bed and put on socks and gloves to lock in the moisture.  You will feel the difference in the morning.

Eye Makeup Remover:

Take a small cotton pad and apply Vaseline on it (a moderate amount), than swipe through your eye makeup and you will notice that it easily comes off with a few strokes.  You also will not encounter that dryness since Vaseline is an amazing product that locks in moisture.

Natural Mascara:

Using a clean mascara brush, brush on some Vaseline through your eyelashes.  This will give you that natural look and give them a good enough lift.  It also makes your eye lashes healthier at the same time, as mentioned above.

Control "fly aways":

Ever have those baby hairs that just won't stay back? You don't need to use much, just take a very little amount of Vaseline and stroke it back and you’re all set!

Cuticle Miracle on a budget:

Do you encounter hangnails often? Or Dry skin around the nail bed? You don't need to spend that extra money on cuticle oil or a special cuticle cream, just apply Vaseline twice a day around your nails and you won't need to waste any unnecessary money.

Great Facial Moisturizer:

Because Vaseline is non-comedogenic it makes a great face moisturizer, it does not allow breakouts to happen and locks in moisture at the same time.  The best time to use this is before bed, as it can look a little shiny during the day.

Keep Your Eyebrows Tamed:


We ladies have all encountered a time when it’s closer to the time for you to do your eyebrows and your eyebrows just don't stay up! Frustrating as it is, a very small amount of Vaseline brushed on with a mascara brush does the trick. Don’t put on too much, as it will make your eyebrows look a little too shiny.


I hope these tips help!
