Everyone knows that the oil-based beauty staple, which has both moisturizing and lubricating properties, can help keep diaper rash at bay or relieve chapped skin. However, that’s not all it’s good for. See our list below.
1. Open your nail polish bottle with ease.
Using a cotton swab and a small dab of Vaseline, spread the jelly inside your nail polish cap. The Vaseline will prevent the nail polish from sealing the lid shut, which makes it easier to remove it the next time you want to paint your nails.

2. Make perfume last longer.
Dab small amounts of Vaseline on your pulse points — your wrists, behind your ears, behind your knees, and even on your ankles — before you spray on your favorite fragrance. The Vaseline absorbs the scent for a more lasting effect.

3. Protect your skin when you dye your hair.
If you're an avid user of boxed hair dyes, you know it's tricky to avoid getting dye on your skin. Vaseline can help. Spread it along your hairline to create a layer of protection before application. Not only does it make clean up a breeze, but you’ll avoid getting color all over you skin.

6. Exfoliate your lips.
Simply add a bit of sugar to Vaseline and apply it to your lips. Rubbing them together for a few seconds will remove any flaky skin. Then, rinse off the sweet exfoliator and add a thin layer of petroleum jelly to your lips to moisturize them.

8. Prevent Swimmer's Ear.
Vaseline could save your ears if you swim a lot. Dip a little on a cotton ball and then mold the cotton ball into each ear before you dive into the water. This keeps any unwanted moisture out.

9. Alleviate chaffing.
Runners, athletes, or anyone who strolls a lot in hot, sticky weather, knows that chaffing can be a painful way to ruin a nice summer day. Spread a small amount of Vaseline on vulnerable areas — like between your thighs or under your armpits — for instant relief.
