This budget-friendly product is useful for many purposes. This allows you to make parts of devices more smooth, but also as a beauty product it is very convenient.

So what is vaseline?

Vaseline is a by-product of petroleum and was discovered by Robert Chesebrough. Robert was a 22-year-old pharmacist working in the petroleum industry. Vaseline is a greasy lubricant made of petroleum. This fuel is naturally not spreadable at all, but because of the heavier petroleum products, such as mineral oil and paraffin, it is spreadable with petroleum jelly. It may sound strange to lubricate petroleum on your skin, but almost everything we use comes from petroleum. Petroleum is used for lighting and heating. Vaseline is actually nothing more than a residual product from the oil extraction. It is a soft substance that is liquefied at a temperature of about 40 to 60 degrees Celsius.

Where can you use it for?

There are many ways and purposes to use vaseline for, but I will give you 15 possibilities.

If you do not want to buy an expensive lip grease, then vaseline is an excellent drug for dry lips and to make the lips them soft again. Vaseline is a good hydrating for extremely dry and cracked lips. Be careful not to get used to it, so do not use it too often.
If you suffer from dry elbows or knees, vaseline is your medicine. Give your elbows or knees a lick of this miracle every day and they will remain soft.
Vaseline also protects your skin from the cold. If you go for a skating in the winter, Vaseline protects your skin from the freezing wind. Especially people with couperosis are advised to give their skin an extra lint of vaseline to protect against frostbite.
It also helps to make your perfume smell longer. You just have to put a little Vaseline on the spots where you smell your perfume and the smell lasts longer.
You can prevent blistering. If you have purchased new shoes for the first time, spread a little vaseline on your heel and you will not be bothered by this.
Vaseline is also a good lubricant. On hot days, your toes and fingers always swell up a bit, which means that you can not get rid of your ring. Then spread some vaseline and try again. Great chance that your ring will go out now.
After a shave, the skin is often red and irritated, but a thin layer of Vaseline helps to calm the skin, it also prevents dehydration and makes it smooth. This also applies to the legs after shaving.
Has the leather of your bag, jacket or shoes become a bit dry or dull and do you not have a leather fat at hand? Then Vaseline is another great alternative. Let it move in well and wipe off the last layer, because you do not want to keep dust and other filth on your bag.
You can use it for a massage if you do not have a scented body lotion or special (massage) oil at the moment.
Did you get chewing gum in your hair? It seems that if you put some vaseline in your hair, you will get the chewing gum out easier.
Do you have lipstick stains on your napkins after dinner? No worries. Just put some vaseline on the lipstick stains and then pour the napkins into the washing machine. The spots disappear like snow for the sun and this trick also works with other make-up spots.
If your hair tips look very dull or fluffy, but you do not have a serum in your house. Then you could use a little bit of vaseline in your dots and your hair will look healthy and shiny again.
You can protect your tattoo with it. Fresh tattoos must be protected because the crusts can not be broken (the lines are less tight and there is a better chance of infection) and moreover, it is still very sensitive after tattooing. So vaseline helps to protect the tattoo and to soften the painful piece of skin.
It works as a makeup remover. Even stubborn waterproof makeup can be removed with Vaseline. Take some Vaseline and massage it on your skin and eyes. Take a cotton pad over it. Repeat this as long as all your makeup has disappeared and no residue can be seen.
Vaseline helps with louse. For this, you need to spread a thick layer of vaseline on your children's scalp, let it retreat for an hour and the louse is gone. The lice are drowning in Vaseline.
