Gives a Better Glow Than Eight Hours of Sleep
"This little tub can solve a multitude of dilemmas. I use this [on] my daughter to [help] prevent dry skin and diaper rash on her sensitive areas. I loved how soft my skin would feel after rubbing it on my hands and feet and leaving gloves or socks on overnight. One of my favorite uses was to dab it on after applying cream blush to get some super glowing cheeks. I also lightly dabbed it on over my foundation for a gorgeous, dewy complexion." --beautyguru_24_7

Softens, Um, Pretty Much Everything
"Boy, was I surprised at its versatility! I have dry, snow ravaged skin and it really made a great improvement in my skin. Of course we all know it's great for removing makeup and for softening hands and feet, but I didn't know about using it with loose blush and/or loose eye shadow. This is my new go-to makeup trick because I have dry skin. Even got the hubby to do the Vaseline on the feet at night." --23amber

Lends Softness Post-Shaving
"Vaseline Jelly has been something I have seen in my grandmother's, my mother's and now my medicine chest. I use it on my knees and elbows to keep them from being dry, and after shaving my legs, it soothes. I can't imagine not having a tub of Vaseline in my home. Three generations of women in my family have used it, and it hasn't let me down yet." --lesa5363

Lessens the Signs of Aging
"I absolutely love Vaseline, there are so many uses. I usually just slather some on my lips before bed and wake up with beautiful, soft lips. Recently I discovered some new uses for Vaseline, such as using it as a makeup remover and for [reducing the look of] fine lines under your eyes." --mihshelle

A Surprising Substitute for a Makeup Staple
"I don't think there's ever been a time there wasn't a jar of Vaseline in my medicine cabinet. I love it for soothing chapped lips, dry skin, giving lashes some love when there's no mascara around (desperate beauty-junkie moments), and I wouldn't go one night without using my Vaseline to take off eye makeup. Will use this forever!" --katiecourtney
