For Longer Staying Perfume

To Remove Fake Eyelashes

It can be a tedious job to remove the artificial eyelashes, as they can damage your original lashes. In such cases, apply some petroleum jelly on your lashes, which will soften the glue of the fake lashes, thereby making it easy to remove.

Make Your Own Lip Balm

Mix together your old lipstick with some petroleum jelly in a small box. Apply this on to your lips to get soft, supple and coloured lips.

To Avoid Hair Dye Stains On Your Skin

Before applying a hair dye, always apply some petroleum jelly on the edges of your forehead and ears where the chances of your skin getting stained are more. Now you may apply hair dye freely, even if the dye leaks or accidentally gets applied on to the skin, the petroleum jelly will offer a protective coating and the stain can be easily removed from your skin.

Body Scrub

Mix some petroleum jelly with seas salt and gently scrub your face and body with it. It will remove the dead cells and the trapped oil from your skin. You will get a fresh, glowing and moisturised skin.

Smooth Hands And Feet

Mix some petroleum jelly with rose water and lemon juice. Apply this mixture on to the cracked heels and hands before you go to bed. Wear a pair of socks and gloves for your feet and hands, respectively. Do this for a month to get smooth hands and feet.

Mix It With Powdery Eyeshadow

If you want to get a creamy eyeshadow that sticks with the eyelids, mix the powdery eyeshadow with petroleum jelly before applying it. You can also coat your eyelashes first with petroleum jelly and then apply the powdery eyeshadow.
