February 3, 200718 yr Member Here is a list of uses for Vaseline that I found on another site... From: http://www.dooyoo.co.uk/skin-care/vaseline...m-jelly/408011/ + Chapped lips/lip gloss The most obvious use I suppose, seeing as it advertises it on the tin. Not only is Vaseline good for chapped lips but it also acts as a cheap lip gloss ? why pay more? Leave a layer on overnight for lovely soft lips in the morning. It also protects the lips from wind burn. + Dry and chapped skin As I have mentioned previously, I am currently using it for my scabby nose and lip from constant blowing. The problem with this is that it doesn?t look very good, particularly at important meetings at work. Never mind, its either that or look like Michael Jackson! It can also be used as a general moisturiser all over the body. Apply a thin layer at night and wake to wonderful soft skin and a sticky bed. + Nappy rash It can be used to help prevent nappy rash in babies. + Cuts and burns It can soothe and help minor cuts and burns to heal. + Lubricant It can be used as a lubricant for certain sexual acts. + Scuba diving Vaseline is often used by people with moustaches to prevent their masks form leaking when scuba diving. + Eyelash dying Whenever I have my eyelashes dyed, the beautician uses Vaseline to stop the dye running below my eyes. It works a treat and is easily removed once finished. + Eyebrows/hair Use a VERY small amount to tame wayward eyebrows or hair. Too much and you will look like a grease ball. + Makeup remover It can also be used as an efficient and cheap makeup remover. Vaseline petroleum jelly takes off mascara, eye-liner, lipstick, rouge, and powders. + Leather Rub it on leather goods to stop them cracking. It provides it with nutrients and a waterproof coating. + Lure trout Coat small pieces of sponge with Vaseline petroleum jelly to simulate fish egg bait. + Prevent car battery corrosion Smear Vaseline petroleum jelly on clean car battery terminals. + Repair stains, rings, and minor scratches in wood furniture Cover each scratch with a liberal coat of Vaseline petroleum jelly, let sit for 24 hours, rub into wood, wipe away excess, and polish as usual. + Remove chewing gum from hair Apply Vaseline petroleum jelly and work into the hair until the gum slides off. + Lubricate roller skate and skateboard wheels Smear Vaseline petroleum jelly around the cylinders on the wheels so they roll faster. + Remove a ring stuck on a finger Coat finger with Vaseline petroleum jelly and slide the ring off. + Prevent rust on outdoor machinery Apply a generous coat of Vaseline petroleum jelly. + Avoid splattered paint on windows, metal work, and floors Before painting a room, dip a cotton bud in Vaseline petroleum jelly and run it around the edges of the glass; coat door hinges, doorknobs, lock latches; and spread a thin coat of Vaseline petroleum jelly along a linoleum or tile floor (obviously not carpet) where it meets the wall. Paint smears will wipe off with a cloth. + Prevent the cap from sticking shut on nail polish bottles Put a thin coat of Vaseline petroleum jelly around the rim of the bottle. + Keep shower curtains sliding easily Apply a thin coat of Vaseline petroleum jelly to the curtain rod. + Prevent outdoor light bulbs from sticking in fixtures To make removal easy, rub a thin coat of Vaseline petroleum jelly on the threads before inserting the bulbs. + Remove lipstick stains from linen napkins Apply Vaseline petroleum jelly before washing. + Prevent hair-coloring from dying your skin Rub Vaseline petroleum jelly along hairline before colouring your hair. + Stop refrigerator racks from sticking Coat the edges of the racks with Vaseline petroleum jelly so the racks glide easily. + Discourage candle wax from sticking to candle holders Coat the insides of candle holders with Vaseline petroleum jelly so wax slides out. + Keep shampoo from getting in a baby's eyes Rub a line of Vaseline petroleum jelly above the eyebrows so shampoo runs off to the side.
