When it comes to beauty basics, petroleum jelly is one of those must-haves. That’s right. Good old Vaseline is a versatile product that can save the day in so many situations. Unlike some pricey beauty products, a jar of Vaseline is just plain cheap. Here are some of the ways Vaseline can help. Eye make-up remover: Apply Vaseline to a soft wet cloth. Close the eyes and gently rub the cloth over it until you’ve successfully removed all make-up and residue. Use a clean cloth to wipe away any remaining Vaseline. Chapped lips: Dab the lips with Vaseline. Use a toothbrush to slough away dead skin and flakes. Lip gloss: Apply a dab of petroleum jelly to the lips for a nice shine. Remember, a little goes a long way. Dry feet: At night, wash feet thoroughly. Use a pumice stone or loofah to get rid of dry skin. Once you’ve dried your feet, cover them in Vaseline and don a pair of soft socks. Vaseline can also be used on other areas where you have dry skin.Body scrub: Combine with sea salts for a homemade body scrub. Cuticle softener: Apply to nails and massage into cuticles. Eyelash conditioner: Dab small amount on lashes to condition the lashes before you go to sleep. Cold remedy: Blot the area around the nose with Vaseline to prevent cold sores and chapped skin. Hair dyeing: To prevent hair dye stains, apply a layer of petroleum jelly around the face and neckline before starting the process. Lipstick woes: To prevent lipstick from sticking your teeth, pat a thin layer of Vaseline on the teeth. Knots: If you’re struggling to untangle a knot, rub a generous amount of petroleum jelly into the hair and run a comb through it. Obviously, petroleum jelly is one of those products you won’t want to live without.
