Petroleum jelly is famously known as a skin moisturizing jelly, but only quite a few know that it can be used to do much more than moisturize the skin. Below are 11 beauty hacks petroleum jelly can be used for
1. You can use petroleum jelly to prevent colour from clinging to your skin when applying nail polish. All you need to do is to spread petroleum jelly on your cuticle before you start applying the nail polish.
2. Petroleum jelly can be used to prevent rusting of shaving blades and other iron appliances from corrosion or rusting. Only apply a layer of petroleum jelly to keep them oiled and smooth.
3. To prevent dry scalp, frizzy hair and split end, you can apply a small amount of petroleum jelly to the ends of the hair to make it greasy.
4. Mix your petroleum jelly with a little amount of sugar to get a very good facial scrub. You can also use this mixture as a lip scrub as well.
5. If you aim to get softer heels, what you need to do is to apply petroleum jelly on your feet and put socks on before going to bed every night.
6. Petroleum jelly can also be used as a lubricant for stuck objects. For example, if you find it difficult to remove a ring from a finger, you can apply Vaseline as a lubricant to help you remove the ring easily.
7. Petroleum jelly helps to heal minor skin scrapes and burns. Gently apply it on the affected surface daily. Make sure that the wound is properly cleaned and disinfected.
8. You can use petroleum jelly as a base for your perfumes and deodorants. This helps the fragrance from the perfume last longer. All you need to do is to apply the jelly to the pulse area of your body before applying your perfumes or deodorants
9. By applying petroleum jelly around your scalp, it will help you to prevent the dye from spilling over and staining your skin.
10. When you don’t have shoe polish, you can run to your petroleum jelly. Gently apply your jelly onto the surface of your shoe and brush it properly until your shoe begins to shine.
11. Petroleum jelly can also be used to remove makeup. All you need is a cotton pad which you will use to gently press on your face without tugging too hard on your skin.
