Surprising Practical & Beauty Benefits of Vaseline Petroleum Jelly

Soothe dry heels :- Summer sandals plus the sun and sand can make the skin on your feet super dry and flakey. Spread Vaseline on your feet before you go to bed, and cover with fuzzy socks. You’ll wake up with soft skin that will look and feel like you got a pedicure.

 Remove eyelash glue :- Rocking faux-lashes for a big event? It can be tricky to get them off without pulling out your natural lashes, too. Rub a bit of Vaseline on your lash-line and the falsies will come off much easier.

 Perfect your mani  :- Line your nails with Vaseline before you paint them. The jelly will keep polish from spreading outside your nail.

Make your legs glow :- Mix Vaseline with your fave liquid bronzer. Spread the formula on your legs for a shiny, glow-y look.

 Get thicker-looking lashes :- You don’t even need mascara to get lush lashes. Apply a little Vaseline to your lash line for a shiny, voluminous look.

 Keep nail polish lids from drying shut :- Spread Vaseline around the inside of the polish lid for super-easy opening next time you use it.

Remove eye makeup :- Coat your lids, then gently swab with a tissue.

 Highlight cheekbones :- Fake a model’s bone structure by patting and blending a tiny amount across cheekbones. The shine attracts light and creates a contoured effect.

 Gloss your lips :- Add red food dye — or tastier cherry Kool-Aid powder — to a dab of petroleum jelly for instant lip color.

 Get an even tan :- Dry skin tends to soak up excess tanning lotion, leaving skin splotchy. Smooth on petroleum jelly before using tanning products.

 Preserve your fragrance :- Dab on pulse points, like your wrists and the sides of your neck, before spritzing on perfume. Your scent will last the entire day.

 Buff away dry skin :- Combine with brown sugar to concoct an at-home exfoliator.

 Tame unruly eyebrows :- Dot petroleum jelly on your fingertip or a clean mascara wand and sweep across brows in one direction, from inside to out.

 Intensify eye shadow :- Morph your powder shadows into creams for a more pigmented color (prime your lids with foundation and translucent powder first to avoid creasing).
