Vaseline (petroleum jelly) is one of the most affordable and versatile skincare products you can find. With just a small amount, you can transform dull, dry skin into soft, smooth, and naturally radiant skin. Here are four easy, beginner-friendly hacks you’ll love.
1. Overnight Lip Repair Mask
If your lips feel dry or flaky, Vaseline works as an ultra-hydrating overnight mask.
How to use:
- Exfoliate gently with a soft toothbrush or cloth.
- Apply a thick layer of Vaseline before bed.
- Wake up to soft, smooth, supple lips.
Why it works:
It locks in moisture and prevents your lips from drying out overnight.
2. Glowing Cheek Highlighter
Want a natural, dewy glow without makeup? Vaseline makes an amazing skin-friendly highlighter.
How to use:
- Dab a tiny amount on your cheekbones, brow bone, or the tip of your nose.
- Blend lightly with your fingertips.
Result:
A fresh, glass-skin-style glow that lasts all day.
3. Cuticle Softener for Stronger-Looking Nails
Dry cuticles make nails look rough and weak. Vaseline helps keep them looking healthy and neat.
How to use:
- Apply a small amount to each cuticle.
- Massage gently for 20–30 seconds.
- Repeat nightly for best results.
What it helps:
Keeps cuticles moisturized, soft, and less prone to cracking.
4. Under-Eye Moisture Boost
The under-eye area is delicate and often becomes dry. Vaseline helps lock in moisture and smooth the skin’s appearance.
How to use:
- Clean your face.
- Apply a very thin layer under each eye.
- Use at night for a fresh, hydrated look in the morning.
Tip:
Use only a tiny amount to avoid greasiness.
