Vaseline Hacks & Secrets Everyone Should Know

Make your perfume last longer. Apply a small amount of Vaseline to your pulse points (wrists, inner elbows, back of the knees, and neck) before spraying on your perfume. The petroleum jelly will help your fragrance last longer by preventing the scent molecules from evaporating as quickly.
Create your own body scrub. Mix Vaseline with sugar or salt to create a DIY body scrub that will remove dead skin cells and leave your skin feeling soft and smooth.
Highlight your cheekbones. Apply a small amount of Vaseline to your cheekbones for a subtle, dewy glow.
Make your eyeshadow brighter. Apply a thin layer of Vaseline to your eyelids before applying eyeshadow to make the colors more vibrant and long-lasting.
Remove eye makeup. Vaseline can be used to gently remove eye makeup, including eyeliner and mascara. Simply dab a small amount of Vaseline on a cotton ball and wipe it over your eyelids.
Prevent blisters. Apply a layer of Vaseline to areas where you are prone to blisters, such as your feet and heels, before putting on your shoes.
Soothe chapped lips. Apply Vaseline to your lips to moisturize them and prevent chapping.
Protect your hair from split ends. Apply a small amount of Vaseline to the ends of your hair to help prevent split ends.
Lubricate squeaky hinges. Apply a small amount of Vaseline to the hinges of squeaky doors and cabinets to silence them.
Keep your zippers moving smoothly. Rub a small amount of Vaseline on zippers to prevent them from getting stuck.
Remove stubborn stickers and labels. Apply a layer of Vaseline to a sticker or label and let it sit for a few hours. The petroleum jelly will help to loosen the adhesive, making it easier to remove.
Shine your shoes. Apply a small amount of Vaseline to a soft cloth and buff your shoes to a shine.
Prevent rust. Apply a thin layer of Vaseline to metal surfaces to help prevent rust.
These are just a few of the many ways to use Vaseline. With its many versatile uses, it’s no wonder that Vaseline is a staple in many households.
