Vaseline is the holy grail of moisturizers because it’s the most low maintenance and unexpected but effective product that everyone has in their house. The best thing about Vaseline is that it has less chemicals in it compared to other products, so it’s a great product to be used organically. Today I’m sharing with you guys 7 unexpected beauty ways to use vaseline!
1. Highlighter
Ditch your highlighter for the day and use Vaseline as your highlighter! Apply a small amount on your cheeks and under eye area for a dewy look. I like using this method for my more casual days because it gives my skin a chance to breathe and be hydrated at the same time.
2. Lash & Brow lengthener
Before you go to sleep at night, or before doing your makeup, try applying vaseline to your lash or brows to get your lashes to grow longer or thicker. I learned this tip from girlfriends of mine who’ve been doing this for a while and definitely see a difference! (Super cheap organic alternative to spending hundreds on lash growing products.) Vaseline is also a great eyebrow gel for my readers who has unruly brows.
3. Ultimate Moisturizer for dry skin
Sometimes when my skin (especially my feet) gets super dry in the winter, I like to rub vaseline on the problem areas and then wearing cozy socks to sleep to lock in the moisture for super smooth skin. Sometimes when I work from home I do this tip during the day also!
4. Nude Moisture Lip Balm
Instead of just throwing away old eyeshadow, try mixing the pigment with vaseline to create a super moisturizing lip balm! Here I’ve used an old brown eyeshadow with some vaseline to make a nude lip balm. It’s super moisturizing and I like having this color as base for my lipstick!
5. Brown Sugar + Vaseline Moisture Bath Scrub
Here’s another DIY scrub for you guys … This one is super easy to make and leaves your skin feeling ultra moisturized. Mix in 1/2 teaspoon of vaseline + 1 teaspoon of brown sugar for a moisturizing hand scrub. Of course for a bath scrub, you’d double or triple the measurements! This scrub can last for a week and a little goes a long way!
6. Make your perfume last longer
In addition to these tips … you can also apply a dab of vaseline to your pulse points so the scent lasts longer!
7. Makeup remover
Vaseline makes a great makeup remover for the eyes. I love this tip because I’ve always felt a little iffy about putting so much makeup remover on my skin because it feels so chemical heavy. Vaseline removes my eye makeup gently and easily and I get the benefit of tip #2!
And there you have it … 7 ways to use vaseline! What do you think? Will you be incorporating these tips in your daily skincare / beauty routine?

I guess you missed my point – putting it on your baby’s skin or your own skin is the same thing as eating it – it gets absorbed into your bloodstream either way.
Oye Alice, why so hostile? We are all women that just want to learn a little more from each other.
I have to agree with some of these tips but Vaseline & Sun doesn’t mix well. Vaseline is a life saver for winter time..people with dry patches!
I think these are good tips and personally don’t think there’s anything wrong or harmful about using vaseline, but all the comments regarding the fact that (1) it’s misleading to call vaseline “organic”, (2) vaseline aka petroleum jelly is a byproduct of crude oil, and (3) it acts as a moisture barrier and therefore does not moisturize are TRUE. Just Google it or look it up on Wikipedia. You also commented that vaseline isn’t a chemical, which is just scientifically impossible! There is no need for you to be so defensive in responding to the comments stating basic facts about vaseline that you clearly are ignorant of. Instead, please educate yourself and look up the words “chemical”, “organic”, etc and correct the false information in your post.
Again, this is not to say that I disagree with you on the uses of vaseline — I enjoy using it vaseline-based products myself. But it’s simply irresponsible to call it “organic” and then ignore critique from your commenters.

I love this Chriselle! I live off of Vaseline-have an extra large tub next to my bed, in my car door, and in my purse at all times. Never thought I could put it to use so many ways! Have you tried the Cocoa Butter Flavor (sometimes its actually in the baby aisle at the grocery store)? It’s amazing!! They even sell it in mini tubs at Target. I’ll have to bring you and Chloe one!!

Please stop using a petroleum product on your baby and yourself. Skin is an organ and anything you put on it gets absorbed into your bloodstream. I was going say that I’m sure you would not eat it or feed it to your baby so please do not put it on your skin or your baby’s skin and then I saw the above comment where you to ask one of your readers to let you know how it tastes.
Hi Nana, it was clearly a joke. But thanks for your concern!
Such an interesting ways of use, thanks for sharing! 🙂

You’re welcome, thanks for your comment!
Wow Chriselle! That’s amazing. I actually stopped buying Vaseline long time ago because I never knew what to do with it. It always ended up not being used enough. Great tips 🙂

Hopefully you find more uses for it 😉
Thanks for the tips! They are definitely helpful!

I love using Vaseline as an eye makeup remover! It’s basically the only thing I can use, the rest of the eye makeup removers I have tried have made my eyes burn regardless if they are marketed as sensitive or not. Plus it works great on waterproof eyeliner and mascara! Thanks for sharing the other uses! For lip and dry nose after a cold I recommend coconut oil it didn’t make me breakout and smelled great 🙂 love your blog!

I love using Vaseline to take off my eyeliner! It’s so easy and feels great!
Well if you like smothering your self in a by product of petroleum, go for it.
Petroleum jelly can create the illusion of moisturised, hydrated skin, all the while suffocating your pores.
It’s water-repellant and not water-soluble, meaning it just seals the the skin like a layer of non breathable plastic, so that moisture does not leave the skin, nurturing blocked pores.
People suffering from skin conditions like acne and rosacea should stay away from petroleum jelly altogether, since such thick emollients can aggravate those conditions.
Putting it on your lips regularly can be dangerous, because if the jelly gets into your lungs it can cause pneumonia, because it is not water soluble.
A healthier alternative are natural oils like beeswax, coconut oil, olive oil or shea butter.
Hi Jayne, thanks for your comment! But you cannot, in fact, get pneumonia from putting vaseline on your lips (which incidentally wasn’t a listed tip) because if it indeed got into your body, it would enter your digestive tract, not your lungs.
Great tips! I had no idea you could use Vaseline in so many ways! I have thrown away my Vaseline jars in the past before because I didn’t know what to use them for!

OK, I moisturize often my feet, my knees with vasline, I am also used to remove make up with it, but how did I misse the fact that I can fix my brows with it. Thaaaaaank you! P.S: this is my first comment on your blog (that by the way I love), and Im not used to comments.
Aw thank you Djezila! I appreciate you leaving a comment! xoxo
I had not yet heard of tip number 2 and 6, I will sure how to give this a try ! Thank you so much for this post. xx
You’re welcome Charlie!
I’ve done your tip #3 before and it really works! It’s really great for preventing dry skin, especially when I’m in an air conditioned place most times. But I didn’t know that there were so many other uses for vaseline. Thanks for sharing!
Hi! Great tips for Vaseline use. Please allow me to add a couple more I learned and used with success: 1) Vaseline as lip exfoliators ( just apply some on your lips and gentle use a soft toothbrush on top of them! Your lips will be smooth and moisturized in no time! 2) Some vaseline around your fingernails before nail polish will help to avoid excess color to stay beyond the lines!
Aw thank you Erika! Thanks for tip 8 & 9! xoxo
Will be trying the brown sugar Vaseline scrub! My daughter ideas born January 6 and I’ve used Vaseline on her dey skin and it’s definitely great and safe!! 🙂
Yes Vaseline was the only thing that helped Chloe’s baby acne also!
Very good tips! love it! Please check out my blog, I am starting and I really need the support!

Cute blog, good luck with it love! Anything is possible as long as you work hard! xo
I absolutely love the photography and styling in your post and I’m a huge fan of your blog. But unfortunately I have a lot issues with this post. Vaseline is great when applied to fresh cuts and burns to keep bacteria out and to help the skin heal with as little scarring as possible. It’s great for cold climates (arctic, not a bit of bad weather) to prevent wind burn and abrasions from snow and ice being blown in your face. But that’s literally it. It forms a thick impenetrable barrier, letting nothing in or out. Which means skin doesn’t breathe. It doesn’t moisturise. It only traps existing moisture in very effectively. And as for your claim that it’s organic, it’s organic in the same way as rubber, plastic and rocket fuel are organic. Because vaseline (aka petroleum jelly) comes from crude oil. Whether something is ‘organic’ or not is a really poor distinction of whether we should be putting it in our bodies. Drinking kerosene (organic) is very very bad. On the other hand ingesting sodium chloride (table salt, inorganic) and calcium (inorganic) is essential for our bodies.
Hi Alice,
Thanks for your comment. If you’ve read the blog post you’d see that I suggest using vaseline in more ways than just moisture. Vaseline can be used as a highlighter, lip balm, makeup remover, all of ways that I’ve tested and has proven to work. In regards to your comment about it trapping moisture, you’d see in tip #3 I recommend using it in conjunction with socks to really trap the moisture to have soft feet. I call it organic because yes it is organic in the way that you’ve suggested, sans chemicals. It was the only thing that I’ve found to help Chloe with her baby acne because her skin couldn’t handle any product with chemicals. But no where in the article did I suggest putting vaseline in our bodies, only applied tropically and on certain areas.
I’ve seen your supportive comments often on my blog and I’m incredibly thankful for your support, hopefully this gives you an insight on where my team and I were coming from when we worked to produce this blog post for you all! xo
Awesome post lady!

Wow I hope you share with me your blog post as soon as it’s up!
Vaseline is actually harmful for your skin.. It clogs your pores and doesn’t let your skin breathe. One time I was watching a medical show where this woman had gone to a foreign country and gotten bitten by some insects there. They also laid their eggs on her neck and so they eventually started growing inside of her skin. The doctor had to apply Vaseline over the opening so that the maggots couldn’t breathe and had to come out. Just some disgusting proof of how Vaseline clogs your skin and doesn’t let it breathe.
Thanks for this tip Mylan, I guess that’s #8 tip on how to use vaseline!
I think vaseline is like the best kept secret of the beauty world. I use it all the time!

I will most certainly not be incorporating Vaseline in any part of my life. It seems strange to me that a petroleum product is being promoted by someone who seems to care about living a natural, healthy and eco conscious lifestyle. Vaseline is a refined byproduct of oil drilling. In addition, it doesn’t really heal, moisturize, or nourish your skin. It just sits on your skin and acts as a moisture barrier. Natural plant derived oils such as olive oil, jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, etc are a much better choice. Yes they are more expensive but have multiple uses for hair and skin and are non toxic and of unquestionable safety. A little goes a long way. As a college student and part time dance teacher I make very little money but I’d rather use evoo from my kitchen and risk smelling like salad than smear a fossil fuel byproduct on my skin. I really like your blog Chriselle but this post is downright strange.
Thanks for your comment Jos, as you can read I’ve also mentioned other ways Vaseline can be used in addition to healing cracked skin. It can be used as a lash lengthener, brow gel, lip balm etc.
Some of these tips are new to me! I am going to give these tips a go! Thank you and the photographs are beautiful!
Thanks Eryn! xo
Vaseline is a great product. I use it as a lip balm. It is really an inexpensive and effective product ever invented. Viva Vaseline! 🙂

I used to use it as a lip balm too!
I have never used vaseline before although I have heard good things about it! Maybe it’s time for me to try this product, thanks for sharing the many great uses of this moisturizer!

It’s especially effective for dry problem areas! xo
Definitely great tips for use of vaseline! I already used vaseline as moisturizer especially on feet and elbows but I will try it as an eye make-up remover! I think it will work great as you say! Also, bath scrub idea and making perfume last longer sounds fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
