Vaseline -- The Beauty Balm

Vaseline is one of the items we all keep on our vanity,in medicine cabinets and purses. Why? It's cheap and it has a bevy of uses. It prevents chafing, wind burn, and treats chapped lips. But it does so much more:

• Dab it onto your brow and cheek bones as a dewy highlight.


• Coat your lashes with a bit of Vaseline to protect and make them look thicker.


• Rub it into fingertips to fight cracked cuticles and moisturize nails.


• After a shower, massage a thin layer of Vaseline into hands and feet and cover with socks. Softens feet and improves circulation.


• Mix with sea salt as a scrub to gently exfoliate heels.


• Apply as a barrier before applying hair dye and relaxers.


• Use as a base for lipstick or simply as a gloss.


• Retaining water? Smooth on fingers so rings slip on and off easily.
