A jar of Vaseline can be found in almost every household. And rightly so, because you can do more with it than just take care of your dry skin.

1. Make your nail polish bottles easier to open
Put a little bit of Vaseline on a cotton swab and smear it on the inside of the nail polish cap. This way you have less chance that the cap will get stuck on the bottle.

2. Keep your skin clean when you dye your hair
Before you dye your hair, smear a little bit of Vaseline along your hairline. This way you protect your skin against the ingredients of the hair dye and afterwards you can easily wipe paint stains off your skin.

3. Apply a neat manicure Do you have trouble applying nail polish neatly? Before painting, apply a thin layer of Vaseline along your nails. If you slip, wipe the nail polish off in no time.

4. Give your lashes volume
If you don't have mascara to hand, you can apply a thin layer of Vaseline to your lashes.

5. Let the scent of your perfume last longer
You can smell a fragrance longer when it is applied to oily skin. Is your skin naturally normal or dry? Then apply a thin layer of Vaseline before applying the perfume and you will enjoy the scent for longer.

6. Style your eyebrows
With a little Vaseline you can keep your eyebrows in check all day long.

7. Make leather shiny again
Have the toes of your leather shoes become dull or do you have an ugly spot on your leather sofa or bag? You can make it glass again with a little Vaseline.

8. Grease the blades of your skates
Vaseline is suitable for greasing the blades of your skates.

9. Use Vaseline as a highlighter
Put some petroleum jelly on the upper part of your cheekbones. It gives a nice glow. Handy if you don't have a highlighter at hand.

10. Make a scrub
Make a body scrub by mixing three tablespoons of petroleum jelly with two tablespoons of sugar or salt.

11. Prevent a chapped nose Apply Vaseline to your nose before going to sleep if you have a cold. Hopefully that will prevent a red and rough nose from all the blowing.
