Easily the most versatile product in my makeup bag.
I rub it onto dry flaky skin and it will be transformed into soft and smooth the next morning. I use it as lip balm, brow gel, and on dry/cracked heels. I even use it on my face, because when used carefully and correctly, it beats every other facial moisturizer I've used.
Contrary to popular opinion, it will not clog your pores, if applied sparingly. My speculation is that most people who end up with breakouts or greasy skin in general use it like any other moisturizer. Just put some on their fingers and rub it all over their face. That is how I used to do it (to result in greasy skin) but I found out a much more effective way.
The trick is to rub only a little bit between your (clean) hands and let the friction heat it up, and then simply press your hands to your face for a few seconds. Voila! Your face should feel much more moisturized, and it's usually enough moisture for me to have great skin for the day.
Vaseline is extremely affordable and widely available. It's a must-have for every beauty bag. :)
I've been using Vaseline Petroleum Jelly for many years now. I keep it on hand to moisturize my elbows, knees and feet. I especially keep it on hand when I have a cold and my nose gets red and dry. I apply a little to the irritated skin and it helps soothe and protect it. I also love it as a lip balm! I apply it overnight and in the morning, my lips are so hydrated and smooth that my lipstick can be applied with ease. It's also great to use when you're coloring your hair. Just rub some Vaseline along your hairline so that the hair dye doesn't bleed onto your skin and stain it.
As you can see, it's a versatile product that doesn't cost much at all for the amount of product you get. I also like that the product will last you an incredibly long time since you only need a tiny amount. Worth repurchasing over and over again!
When in doubt, go for vaseline. Such a multi purpose, multi area product! Works great on cracked heels, elbows, knees, etc. Makes a great moisturizing lip gloss in a pinch! I'm sure this is a staple in everyone's household. It is in mine.
Want smooth feet? Put this stuff all over your feet before bed (feels wierd, I know, but trust me, the slippery feet are worth it in the long run), and then put on a pair of cotton socks. Sleep over night, wash in the morning, do this every night, you will notice an amaaazing difference! I also use this on patches of dry skin. Its definately something that most people wouldn't just pick up, but it has tons of uses. I've used it as lip balm when my lips had gotten very chapped in the winter, and same idea, put it on my lips before bed, let it soak in over night! Works wonders, and is affordable! Big thumbs up for me! :)
I find that Vaseline is very helpful in getting rid of dryness from my legs, knees and is a nice moistureizer for my lips. However, the texture of it is too oily and makes my hands all sticky. but it is great to use at night when your sleeping
I use vaseline for basically everything, dry lips, dry elbows, dry heels, etc. It's a little greasy but I put it on at night and when you wake up all the areas you put it on are nice and smooth. The plus side is that it's really cheap for such a big jar too.
This stuff is so multi-purpose, it's a staple for any household.
I moisturized the lips, any dry or cracked areas fast, it can smooth anything from lips to feet.
It's also a great conditioner for eyelashes :) I've definitely noticed a difference in the thickness and length of my lashes since using this product there once a night.
At only 5 bucks or less for a big tub, this stuff is definitely reasonably priced.
Used it for a lip balm, a hand protecting lotion, paper-cut sealer, and a meconium removing product. Yes, we used Vaseline to clean and protect our baby's bottom when she was first born. It removes meconium and vernix caseosa really well and it is gentle on her skin. I don't use it so much to soften my skin as to protect it from water or dry heat etc..
I have also heard of people using it to grease up their bottoms when they are constipated...not sure if it worked or if it is an urban legend...
Good product with a variety of uses.
I have been using vaseline on my lips for years and everyone I know uses it too. This is affordable and effective. It really moisturizes your lips without any fancy scent or added ingredients. I have a container of it close to my bed and I put it on right before I sleep every night. It keeps my lips nice and smooth for the next day.
Vaseline is a must have for anybody, it is the ultimate moisturiser. I use Vaseline on my lips and eye lashes every night to keep my lips soft and my eye lashes long and healthy. It is so versitile.
