7-beautiful uses for Vaseline
Okay, do me a favor and run in your bathroom and tell me if you have a tub of Vaseline on hand. Oh, you do? Yeah, I thought you might. Now do me a favor and tell me what you use it for. Like, everything? Hey, me too!I was just running through a list in my head of all of the surprising things Vaseline can accomplish in a pinch. Such as, Vaseline has always been my go-to cold sore cure, and it's also pretty handy for clearing up mild diaper rash. (I promise I do not use the same tub for these two applications!) But have you ever tried to use Vaseline as a supplement to your make up and beauty routine?
I am always on the lookout for inexpensive drugstore products that simplify my life and make my big splurges work better, and Vaseline (along with a good set of Q-Tips and probably also baby powder) is one of those drugstore purchases that fulfill so many needs it's almost comical. (If you find drugstore purchases funny? Which, I don't know, just go with it.)
