Lean on Vaseline!

The multi-faceted product, Vaseline, has other titles to add to its resume. In addition to acting as a facial moisturizer and highlighter, Vaseline moonlights as a foot and hand softener, makeup-remover and tan blocker, making it a quintuple threat.

I probably shouldn’t publicize this, so I’ll leave out names. Someone whom I care for deeply, has a nasty case of rough, calloused foot skin. He swears by Vaseline as his miracle healer. Although, I have to say the thought of using Vaseline seemed a bit too extreme in my opinion. Jergen’s would have been my first choice, until I realized my feet weren’t worlds better than his…

So, I gave Vaseline a chance. My mom suggested that I first slather my feet with it, then put a pair of socks on before bed. The next morning my feet were fully rejuvenated and as smooth as butter! I’m assuming you could do the same on your hands, if you’re willing to wear mittens throughout the night. If not, I also highly recommend trying Vaseline Intensive-Care Moisturizer.

Before I wash my face at night, I do a decent rub down of my eye makeup with a little bit of Vaseline.  It takes seconds and leaves much less work for your face-wash!  Your pillow cases will thank you in the morning.

If you’re a spray tan goddess, don’t forget to bring your Vaseline with you.   Spray tans can discolor your cuticles and pronounced areas on your body.  Apply a small amount on each finger nail at the cuticle, and on knees, elbows, eyebrows, knuckles and in between fingers.
