Hey ya'll! Today's review will be one of those must have multi-functional items for everyone.
It is our beloved Vaseline Petroleum Jelly!
Did you know that Vaseline started way back in 1872? That is 144 years ago!
So what exactly is this petroleum jelly that everyone talks about?
"Petroleum jelly is a mixture of natural waxes and mineral oils that together lock moisture in skin, moisturizing it to repair and relieve dryness."
Vaseline comes in various sizes from really small and travel friendly to bigger; home used size.
Vaseline® Jelly is triple-filtered, ensuring it is truly free from impurities. This means that is often used to protect and repair the skin.
Moms love it for preventing diaper rash, but it can also be used to protect minor cuts and burns, to soften skin, and to lock in moisture in dry, cracked skin.
Vaseline® Jelly works from the inside out, repairing and protecting dry skin and locking in moisture, making your skin feel and look good!
As you all would have known, Vaseline is an extremely versatile product. Which is one of the reasons it is so well loved by all dry ones out there.
Here are some great ways which Vaseline can be used:
1. Lipbalm: Apply a thick layer at night for best result.
2.Remove eye makeup: Coat the lids, then remove with tissue.
3.Highlight cheek bones: Blend a tiny amount over cheek bones
4.Before tanning: Use before tanning to achieve deeper tan.
5.Preserve fragrance: Dab on skin prior to perfume.
6.Home made exfoliator: Add in some brown sugar and make your own DIY scrb!
7.Brow gel: Use some on a clean mascara brush to set down those brows.
8.Soften skin: Moisturize heel, elbows, knees and any dry areas.
9.Remove stuck ring: Rub a little on your finger to reduce friction.
10.Heal small wounds: Apply a layer over cleansed area and bandage over. This will speed up healing process and reduce scarring.
11.Nail cuticle: Apply to keep nail cuticles healthy.
12.Easy nail polish application: Apply on skin around nail to easily remove nail polish which might have gotten stained.
13.Shine leather goods: Polish your leather jacket or shoe with a bit of Vaseline.
14.Stop squeaky doors: Apply to hinges
15.Prevent diaper rash: Apply as a protective coat over the skin.
Vaseline has a slightly thick gel paste like consistency.
Here is how it looks after application.
It leaves a sheen to the skin. But it does not feel sticky at all.
I usually use Vaseline as a thick leave-on lip balm just before I sleep. This is my favourite way to use this product as I find it super effective in softening severely dry lips.
Prior to adding Vaseline into my lip skincare routine, I had seriously dry, cracked and bleeding lips. I was unable to wear lipsticks (especially matte ones) and found that regular lip balm does nothing in solving my lip problem.
So one day, my mom picked up a tub of Vaseline for me.
Initially, I started using it as a regular lip balm, spreading a thin layer over my lips. I found that it was not able to moisturize my dry lips at all.
Then, one night after the endlessly long fight with my dry cracked lips, I decided to just layered on a whole lot of vaseline on my lips and went to bed with it.
Oh was I well rewarded the following morning~ Yehet!
I woke up with full hydrated plump lips!
And there after, I repeat this routine every night and I never have dry, bleeding lips again! *Happy~*
Nowadays, I do this routine only on alternate days as my lips are not as dry as before and the routine just serve as a maintenance lip treatment. So, whenever I experience any dryness, I know I just need to pile on some Vaseline and that will save my day!
Pros
-Very effective on dry lips
-Affordable & easily accessible
-Extremely versatile
Cons
-In a tub, Unsanitary
-Controversy surrounding the product
Yes! I recommend this to EVERYONE (unless you are allergic to Vaseline/ Petroleum Jelly).
*Disclaimer*
I understand that there are many controversy surrounding the topic of Vaseline & Petroleum Jelly with regards to the possible befits/ harms inflicted on user.
Hence, I recommend that if concerned, more research can be done before purchase.
Yes!
I have been using this 50ml tub for as long as I can remember!
5/5
