by Vaseline

Sure, it’s in your medicine cabinet, and maybe you pull it out to fix scratches in your furniture or loosen a stuck zipper now and then, but did you know that Vaseline Petroleum Jelly is actually one of the handiest products in any women’s beauty arsenal? It’s true—it’s the original multi-purpose product that can help prettify every part of you, from fixing frizzy hair to healing troubled toes. Here are fifteen great reasons why you should keep a tub or tube in your makeup bag. 

 
1. Use it as a styling product to tame unruly eyebrows and keep them in place.

2. Apply a bit as lip balm to moisturize dry lips before applying dark lipstick.

3. Make removing dark lipstick a snap by applying Vaseline to a washcloth and gently rubbing.

4. Use it as a highlighter—apply on the highest point of your cheekbones for a fresh, dewy look.

5. Use it to moisturize cuticles and nail beds. After removing polish, massage a bit of Vaseline onto nails to keep them hydrated and strong.

6. To soothe chapped, cracked hands, work in a medium-sized amount of Vaseline and wear gloves to bed.

7. For dry, cracked feet, apply Vaseline before putting on socks and shoes.

8. Use a dab of Vaseline to tame flyaway hairs near the hairline, creating a polished updo.

9. Add shimmer to a matte eye shadow by applying a thin coat of Vaseline on top.

10. Before coloring hair at home, apply Vaseline to your hairline to prevent the color from staining your skin.

11. To calm mild frizziness or hat-head, warm a dab of Vaseline in your hands and work it through your hair.

12. Smoothe over still-damp legs and arms when you get out of the shower for the ultimate winter moisturizer.

13. Rub a dab of Vaseline between your fingers and apply to eye lashes for a nourishing, moisturizing treatment.

14. Before applying lipstick, rub a thin coat of Vaseline onto your teeth to prevent the color from sticking.

15. For a fresh-faced glow, tap Vaseline to the apples of your cheeks instead of blush.
