20 uses of Vaseline
Vaseline for adult skin & beauty
1 All over moisturiser:
A tip from the Hollywood stars; use a little VPJ all over your body after bathing for softer, smoother skin.
2 Hand protector:
Keep a jar of VPJ near the kitchen sink and apply regularly-especially prior to heavy cleaning jobs-to keep your hand soft.
3 Scaly elbows:
Elbows are often neglected and get dry and scaly. Massage in a little VPJ at night to smooth and soften.
4 Eyebrow grooming:
Shape the eyebrows with VPJ-simply smooth a little on and brush the brows into shape with an old, clean toothbrush.
5 Sore heels:
New shoes often rub, leaving behind sore heels. Dab a little VPJ to prevent blisters and soreness.
6 Lip chapping:
Dry weather can lead to lip chapping. VPJ will protect and soften.
7 Hair care:
Smooth a little VPJ around the hairline before relaxing or colouring the hair, to protect the skin from irritating chemicals.
Vaseline for baby care
8 Diaper rash:
Vaseline protects a baby’s sensitive skin from diaper rash. Simply wash your baby’s bottom thoroughly at changing time, dry and smooth a fine film of Vaseline over the buttocks to form an effective barrier between the skin and the diaper.
9 Cradle cap:
Regular application of Vaseline to your baby’s scalp will help soften the crust of cradle cap and help prevent further scaling.
10 All over softness:
Gently message your baby’s body with Vaseline after bathing, for all over protection and softness.
11 Sore noses:
Running noses and crying can lead to soreness and chapping around the nose. A little Vaseline applied two or three times a day will soon get rid of any soreness.
12 Temperature time:
If the baby’s temperature is taken rectally, a little VPJ on the end of the thermometer will help to prevent discomfort.
Vaseline for children
13 Cracked lips:
Most children suffer from dry cracked lips. A little dab of Vaseline will soften and moisten the skin on and around the mouth.
14 Nails:
Use Vaseline to soften your child’s cuticle and nails-then you can gently ease back the cuticles and also trim the nails without hurting the child.
15 Minor scrapes:
A smear of VPJ will soothe and protect the skin after minor scrapes and grazes.
16 Zipper zips:
Little fingers find stiff zips a problem. VPJ will help them glide more easily.
Be a sport
17 Jogging:
Use Vaseline to protect the skin of your feet when jogging, concentrating on the vulnerable areas such as heels and ball of the feet.
18 Good racket:
Keep gut strings on tennis and squash racquets in good condition with a light film of Vaseline.
19 Swimming
Use Vaseline on the skin before swimming to protect from dryness.
20 Chaffing:
Athletes use VPJ under their arms and inner thighs to prevent chaffing.
