39 Uses for Vaseline – A Beauty Staple
POSTED June 11, 12:51 PM

Vaseline is like my secret weapon. A beauty staple no girl should be without.  Although the model Tyra Banks owns a Vaseline jar that is hand beaded with Swarovski crystals (you may remember a few years back when she gave them away to her studio audience) always feel free to buy the generic version at the store whenver possible. It works just the same. 

 
There are lots of articles online listing redundant uses for Vaseline, so I consolidated them below:
 
Beauty Uses:
 
  1. Mix with sea salts for a hand or body scrub
  2. Mix with a loose powder bronzer for a nice even glow!
