No matter how old the tub, we all have some Vaseline lying about somewhere in our cupboard. Here are 5 rather unexpected ways you can use this petroleum jelly miracle product:

Highlight your cheekbones

It’s the end of the day and your skin is looking dull and worse for wear. Add a touch of Vaseline to your cheekbones to highlight and add a bit of a glow. Your skin will look more awake and have that dewy finish we all crave.

Tame your stray brows

According to Allure, smoothing a bit of jelly over your arches will keep them in place for most of the day.

Cream eyeshadow

Prefer creamy eyeshadow? Add Vaseline to some loose powder and voila! See how here.

Hide your split ends

Use a tiny amount (and we mean miniscule) on the ends of your hair to disguise your less than desirable split ends. Be very careful not to use too much. You don’t want your hair to resemble and oil slick!

Lip and perfume primer

Add some Vaseline to your lips, then use your toothbrush to brush away some dead skin cells.

Add a touch of Vaseline to your pulse points, and then spray on your favourite fragrance. The jelly will insure that your signature scent stays on for much longer.
