Create Shine and Tame Locks
Got frizzy, lackluster locks? Reach for your jar of Vaseline. Not only will it tame frizzies and flyaways, but a little bit of product in your hair will also create a gorgeous yet subtle shine. It can also be used like your favorite hair gel to slick pieces back in a stylish way.

Keep Your Brows in Check
Vaseline will also help keep your brows in check. Add a little to a brow brush or comb and they'll pretty much stay in place all day long. It will also help to tame unruly brows.

Get Dewy Cheeks
How do models get such a gorgeous, dewy glow? One word: Vaseline. Dab a tad on each cheek and embrace a natural glow — or mix with your favorite blush and turn it into liquid color. Whatever the case, expect a runway-worthy glow!

Get a Perfect Tan
Apply Vaseline to fussy parts like elbows, knees and fingertips to avoid unwanted streaks and patches when self-tanning. It's seriously a must if you want a perfect faux tan and will act as a barrier so color doesn't go haywire.

Prolong the Life of Your Manicure
Since winter is approaching, we suggest slathering Vaseline on your cuticles before you hit the sack. It will deeply moisturize while you sleep, ensuring that your manicure looks buttoned up at all times. Because we all know that cuticles can make or break your mani! Bonus: When applying polish, add Vaseline to the skin around your nails to help prevent getting polish in unwanted places.

Make Your Fragrance Last Longer
Sounds crazy, but adding Vaseline to your pulse points before spritzing will make it last way longer. This is a huge plus, especially when your fragrance costs a pretty penny. How does it work, you ask? It helps hold the scent to your skin versus spraying directly onto dry skin. Pretty awesome, right?

Get Glowing Stems
Dry skin can wreak havoc on your summer look. That's where handy Vaseline comes into play. Instead of your regular moisturizer, try hydrating your legs with a little jelly to give them a runway-worthy glow. (Just be sure to apply SPF first.) There's nothing sexier than polished stems!

Get Thicker Lashes
Vaseline also helps your lashes grow stronger and thicker with regular application. Convert one of your old (but sterilized) mascara wands into an application tool, apply to lashes before you go to bed and watch them thrive. It helps to moisturize the skin around the eyelids, too.

Keep Hair Color From Staining Your Skin
Getting a fresh new hair color — whether in the salon or at home — is everything. But getting dye all over the skin around your hairline is not. Prior to coloring, add a thin layer of Vaseline around your hairline to prevent it from happening.
