Vaseline... Who KNEW???


Good ol' Vaseline... who knew it would come in handy for so many different uses? Besides preventing car battery corrosion and lubricating skate wheels, Vaseline has been a well kept beauty secret for years! Tyra Banks SWEARS by Vaseline, and you can too! Check it out:

  • As A Moisturizer: After washing your face, rub in a small dab of Vaseline. Keep wetting face until the Vaseline Petroleum Jelly is spread evenly and does not appear greasy. Health spas use this secret treatment.
  • For Makeup Removal: Vaseline helps to remove the toughest waterproof mascara, eye-liners, lipsticks, and other face makeups.
  • Lip Balm. Use a little Vaseline on your lips before going outdoors and again before going to bed. It leaves your lips incredibly soft!!
  • Skin protection for chemical hair treatments (coloring, perms, ect) Smooth Vaseline around areas where chemicals or color may come in contact with skin to prevent damage.
  • Protect skin from dry weather. Use Vaseline on those extra dry parts of skin like the heels of your feet, or areas prone to chapping or wind burn.
  • Shine your leather shoes. Buff leather shoes with a little Vaseline and watch them shine!
  • Prevent shampoo from getting into baby's eyes. Smooth some Vaseline above the eyebrows on baby so that shampoo runs off to the side.
  • Remove chewing gum from hair. Work Vaseline into the hair until the gum slides out.
