Winter can be especially harsh on your skin, leaving it dry, cracked and in need of extra love. For an inexpensive and easy way to help protect and nourish your skin, look no further than Vaseline! Used in countless ways, this petroleum jelly has multiple uses in the cold winter months. Here are the top 10 uses of Vaseline in winter:
1. It Soothes Dry Skin: One of the most popular uses of Vaseline is to help soothe and heal dry and irritated skin. It helps to lock in moisture and protect the skin from the elements. It can help with redness and itchiness, and provide some relief from winter’s dry, cold air.
2. It Can Help Prevent Chapped Lips: Vaseline can help prevent chapped lips in cold weather. Applying a thin layer of Vaseline on your lips at least twice a day will help keep them soft and smooth.
3. It Can Help Prevent Blisters: If you’re going to be outdoors in cold weather, you can prevent blisters by applying a thin layer of Vaseline on your feet before you put on your socks. This will act as a protective barrier between your skin and your socks.
4. It Can Help Prevent Windburn: If you’re going to be outside in cold weather for an extended period of time, you can apply a thin layer of Vaseline to your skin to help protect it from windburn.
6. Controlling Frizz: Using a little Vaseline can help tame frizzy hair. Simply smooth a small amount on your hands and lightly run your fingers through your hair. Vaseline can also be used to help give your hair a temporary boost of volume and shine. To use it as a styling product, apply a small amount to your roots and ends before styling with a blow dryer.
7. Soothing Razor Burn: I recommend using Vaseline to treat razor burn. Start by cleaning and drying the affected area, then apply a thin layer of Vaseline to the affected area to soothe and reduce the burning sensation. Leave it on for 25-30 minutes, then rinse off with warm water. Repeat this process 2-3 times a day until the razor burn is healed.
8. Spot Treatment: If you have a dry, flaky patch of skin, you can use Vaseline to help reduce the appearance of redness and dryness. Applying Vaseline to a targeted spot can help soothe and protect the skin. Be sure to use only a small amount and cover the spot with a bandage if needed.
9. Makeup Remover: Vaseline can be used to remove your eye makeup, such as mascara and eyeliner. Simply rub a small amount onto your eyelids and lashes and wipe away with a cotton swab or facial tissue.
10. Protecting Nails: You can use Vaseline or a petroleum jelly to protect your nails from damage. It helps seal in moisture, which protects your nails from becoming dry and brittle and keeps them from splitting and breaking.
