Benefits
or Uses of Petroleum Jelly for Skin and Beauty

before you go to bed. Lots of people swear by this – and say it will make your
lashes grow longer and thicker over time.
Remove
eye makeup
Coat your lids, then gently swab
with a tissue.
Preserve
your fragrance
Dab on pulse points, like your
wrists and the sides of your neck, before spritzing on perfume. Your scent will
last the entire day.
Protect
skin from hair dye
Smooth a layer at your hairline
before using home color and you'll avoid hard-to-remove dark stains.
Face
Cream
Put a spoonful of Petroleum Jelly
into a bowl and lightly warm in the microwave for 10 second intervals to make a
face cream that you can use every night before bed – and be sure to take care
when handling hot materials.
Daily
Fresh Look
Use Petroleum Jelly on your
cheekbones and above your brows for a fresh and dewy look. You can also mix it
with a bit of lipstick and apply it to your cheeks for a natural blush.
Soft
Feet
Apply Petroleum Jelly on your
feet before putting on socks and wear overnight to help achieve smooth feet and
toes.
Soften
Spilt ends
Rub a bit of Petroleum Jelly into
the ends of your hair to hide the appearance of split ends.
Keeps
fingers and cuticles spotless
You can now achieve immaculately
painted nails without worrying about getting paint all over your hand by
applying petroleum jelly in and around your finger nails and on your cuticles.
Your cuticles will not only remain moisturized with the jelly, it will also be
nail-polish free.
Give
your legs a natural sheen
A layer of petroleum jelly can
help make your legs shine during summer. Not only does it provide a natural
sheen, it also keeps your legs moisturized for a long period of time.
Lip
balm
Petroleum jelly can be used to
prevent chapped lips. Just melt a small amount of jelly and place it in an
empty container or chapstick and let it solidify. Apply it twice daily for best
results.
Mascara
For this, add black or brown eye
shadow with petroleum jelly and then gently apply it on the eyes with a spare
mascara brush.
