Amazing Beauty Product

In 1859, a 22 year old chemist from England spent his life savings on a ticket to Pennsylvania.  Seeing a great opportunity in the petroleum industry, the purpose of this trip was to meet with oil purveyors in the area.  While touring the oil fields, the young man noticed a rigger scraping an unidentified dark goo from the joints of one of the machines.  Intrigued, the young man inquired further about this "goo" and was told that it was nothing more than a nuisance byproduct of the oil drilling process, but that some people claimed it made wounds heal faster.  


And just like that, a billion dollar idea was born.  The young man, named Robert Chesebrough, left Pennsylvania that day with a bucket full of  this "rod wax" and spent the next 10 years purifying and perfecting the product.  He tested his miracle healing product by cutting, stabbing, burning and applying acid to himself.  The first vaseline factory opened in 1870, and the company received a patent for their wonder salve in 1872.


While vaseline was later scientifically proven to not possess any curative power whatsoever, it does have a lot of amazing uses.  This is especially true for beauty conscious women. If you have never used Vaseline, I encourage you to get some...it is very inexpensive, and below I have included 20 uses for the product!   The Vaseline brand also sells a variety of other lotions that come with a money back satisfaction guarantee (available at www.vaseline.us).


 Enjoy trying out the use suggestions below and please let me know if you have any additional uses for this product!

1. Lip balm: moisturizes and soothes chapped lips but it doesn’t taste good.

2. Moisturizes dry skin.

3. Hand and feet moisturizer: it hydrates and smooths chapped hands and feet. Apply some petroleum jelly to your hands and feet and then put on mittens and socks. Wait about 10-15 minutes for the vaseline to soak into the skin. The result? Smoother and softer skin.

4. All over moisturiser: apply petroleum jelly all over your body after a bath. It will leave your skin soft and smooth.

5. Eye makeup remover: removes even the most stubborn mascara and soothes the eye area.

6. Scrub: mix petroleum jelly with sea salt to make your own scrub.

7. Night cream: it can be used as a night cream but you need to warm it up first.

8. Protects manicure: putting some vaseline on the base of your nails will stop the color from running.

9. Shaving: just put a very thin layer on the area that needs shaving and shave. Don’t use water. Also don’t apply too much product or it will plug up your razor. In addiction, vaseline can get a bit greasy, but it will leave your skin soft, smooth and moisturized.

10. Highlighter: apply it on cheeks and undereye area for that dewy look.

11. Softens skin: apply some vaseline to elbows, heels, or balls of feet daily. It will soften them.

12. Lipgloss: apply some lipliner all over your lips and top it off with vaseline for instant shine.

13. Maintains fragrance longer: apply a thin layer of vaseline on your wrist before spraying perfume on. It will make the scent last longer.

14. Lip exfoliant: apply petroleum jelly to your lips and wait a few minutes. Then, using an old toothbrush, scrub your lips. This will exfoliate lips, leaving them very soft.

15. Protects skin from hair dye: apply some vaseline around the hairline before coloring your hair to protect your skin from the harsh chemicals contained in the dye.

16. Conditioner: Apply some to the scalp before shampooing to condition it.

17. Seals in split ends: if you put some vaseline on your split ends, it will seal them in and make it look like they aren’t there. But don’t do this too often as it will take a couple of shampoos to remove vaseline from your hair.

18. Cream blusher: mix some vaseline with your lipstick to make your own cream blusher.

19. Prevents uneven tanning: just put some on dry spots before applying fake tanning lotions.

20. Moisturize and tame eyebrows: putting a small amount of vaseline on your brows before going to bed will not only moisturize them, but it will mold them into place too.
