Why You Need a Vaseline in Your House

There is hardly any family you will go to that doesn't have Vaseline
sitting around in a cupboard or drawer in their washroom. Though
recently we don't use it nearly as much as we should, we all own it
for some reason. What are the reasons why you have vaseline in your
house?

>What is Vaseline?

Vaseline is a product that was created in the late 19th century by a
chemist named Robert Cheesebrough. Throughout the course of his work,
he observed that the factory workers were using the rod wax to
moisturize their skin and discovered that the wax also helped speed up
the healing time of any skin cuts and wounds. He took this knowledge
and made up several different batches or "lines" of products that
contained the key ingredient, petroleum jelly, and put them in vases.
This is where the "vase" in" Vaseline" originates from.

>To Improve your Smile

Do you notice the gleaming smiles of beauty queens during beauty
pageants? Did you know that you can brighten your smile with just a
touch of Vaseline? Simply take a small amount on your finger and then
rub it all over your front teeth and gums to really make your teeth
glisten...

>To Soften your Feet

If you have rough and calloused feet, you can use Vaseline to help
soften them up. Soak your feet in a warm tub of water for up to 15
minutes, and then rub the rough areas of skin with a pumice stone.
When you are finished exfoliating the skin, take some Vaseline and rub
it into those areas. Throw on a thick pair of socks and go to bed.
When you wake up the next morning, you will notice a considerable
difference in the softness of your feet!

>To Moisturize your Lips

The simplest lip gloss product that you can ever find is Vaseline.
Taking a bit of Vaseline on your finger and then rubbing it into your
lip will not only hydrate your lips, but it will give them that wet,
kissable shine. You can apply Vaseline right overtop of any lipstick
you may be wearing, too.

>To Style Dry Hair

Have dry hair? Then pick up a jar of Vaseline. Dab a very small amount
of Vaseline onto your fingers and style your hair as you usually would
(do use it sparingly as Vaseline can quickly make your hair go from
healthy looking and shiny to greasy and oily in seconds). The Vaseline
will hold your style and your hair will feel and look better too!

>To Tame your Brows

Did you know that Vaseline can be used as a great product to hold your
eyebrows in place? Take a tiny little bit of the product and then
apply it to your eyebrow area with either an eyebrow brush or with
your fingertip.

>To Remove your Eye Makeup

Yes, Vaseline can also remove your eye makeup if you are ever in a
pinch. Put a small amount of Vaseline on a cloth or a towel, and then
rub it gently over top of your eye area. You should notice that all
eye makeup has been removed, including your waterproof mascara!
So, if you have not a vaseline in your home, i advise you to go to the
nearest store and get one for your family.
