UNDERRATED BEAUTILITIES; VASELINE

Hey beautiful people, this is a trend I want to start on here. From time to time I'll tell you about the few beauty products we have around us but pay no attention to or rather, are clueless as to their true worth. Most of them are very affordable and have multiple uses.
 So if you like this post and want me to continue this trend of underrated beautilities, PLEEEEAAASSEE! don't just read! Indicate in the comments section that you'd like to hear about more underrated beautilities and I will deliver.

Our first underrated beautility............

But then I'm sure some of you already know this....Is anyone surprised? If you are, I totally understand. For those that think they know, I'm about to shock you! You don't know half of it!!!!
Vaseline can be found in practically every home (If it's not in your home, I don't know what you are doing). We use this very cheap but overlooked product for a number of things  but they are nothing compared to what this baby is really capable of.

LET'S LEARN!

  • Vaseline aids hair growth; YES!! I am a breathing witness to this fact!.....HOW TO USE? Simple....just part your hair and apply to your scalp and massage.
  • Vaseline moisturises problem areas like knees, elbows and feet to prevent ashy build-up; Some of us walk around with really ashy feet and white scary looking knees. Well don't just stare at your vaseline! USE IT!!!
  • Great for cuticles; massage vaseline onto them to achieve healthy cuticles.
  • This baby un-chaps cracked lips; everybody knows this one now! HABA!
  • DIY lip gloss by rocking vaseline over lipstick
  • DIY lip balm by rocking vaseline over stain from your favourite stain-able drink e.g. tasty time... LOL!
  • Apply vaseline to your pulse points before spraying perfume to ensure that it lasts longer.
  • Vaseline doesn't clog pores so it can be used as a moisturizer. However its a bit too oily for those with oily skin so this is strictly for our dry sisters and brothers. My fellow people in the oil business, KEEP OFF!!!
  • Can be used as a lotion on cold and dry days. DUH!!
  • For those who have dry skin lines, search no further, VASELINE is your messiah.
  • Vaseline can be applied after shaving to prevent razor burn.
  • Vaseline can be used as a makeup remover; just apply some of it to a cotton ball and wipe!
  • Vaseline can be applied as an eye shadow base to give a more shimmery look.
  • DIY cream blush!!! Apply vaseline and your favourite lipstick to the apples of your cheeks.
  • Vaseline can be used to get stubborn rings out; just apply vaseline to the base of your ring and around your finger. I promise it wont hurt your jewelry.
  • Vaseline can be used to moisturise dandruff infected scalp.
  • Vaseline heals wounds.
  • Apply vaseline on your lips to soothe them after exfoliation.
  • To remove fake lashes, apply to the lash line and peel off.
  • Vaseline can be used as an eyebrow gel to sculpt perfect brows.
  • Rub vaseline onto your nails to make your nail polish last longer!
  • Vaseline shines leather (especially patent leather).


Do you see what I mean? How awesome is vaseline?.Please treat it with a little more respect. It can save your life!!!! LOL!
I hope we learnt a thing or two from this post and I hope you'd love to continue this. As usual, if you have any questions, feel free to ask.Y'all know how I love to hear from ya!!!
