Total Beauty Community Blogs - Pull Out the Vaseline Ladies!

So yeah, like most I love Vaseline for my lips, but it wasn't until recently that I realized I was totally under-valuing this dry lip bathroom drawer staple. A reader sent me this totally exhaustive list of different ways you can use Vaseline -- 17 different ways to be exact, and now I'm thinking Vaseline should run for local government ... it just gets so much accomplished. Anyway, here is the list. Did she leave anything out?

"I love this product! It's a cheap and it's a classic beauty product that will always live on. Here are some uses for vaseline that I found/ have heard of:

1) Put on your feet and put socks over them at night for super soft feet. 2) Makeup remover 3) Cuticle cream 4) Tames unruly eyebrows 5) Lip gloss/moisturizer 6) Mix with kool aide for fruity favored lip gloss. 7) Removes makeup stains from clothes. 8) A little bit on shoes can give them a quick shine. 9) Helps when applied to rashes, chapped skin, cuts and sunburns. 10) To remove chewing gum for your hair. 11) Use when dying hair, to prevent hair dye on your skin. 12) Face moisturizer or whenever such knees and elbows. 13) Use when applying sunless tanner. Apply to knees, elbows, etc to prevent a build up of sunless tanner to unwanted places. 14)To remove a ring that's stuck on your finger. 15) Mix with a chocolate chip in the microwave, let it soldify, and there ya go chocolate flavored lip gloss. 16) Mix with sea salt or raw sugar and use as body scrub. 17) Use to soothe skin after shaving. As you can see the list can go on and on. Honestly how many products do you know of that have this many uses? It's def. worth the purchase."

I have psoriasis so I already use Vaseline on my feet but didn't think of it til I read the blog to mix with with sea salt or sugar for a scrub. Great idea. I break out in rashes and I am very sensitive. I think this is a god send.

I agree with 11. I haven't died my hair in a while, but I used to get the bottom half bleached (I have dark brown hair), and then colored that part either hot pink or bright purple. It works great for keeping the dye from staining your skin. It might seem like an annoying step, but having a ring or purple or pink on your neck or ears for a few days is no fun:)
