It’s the tub that keeps on giving – and a staple to solve many a beauty dilemma.
Split ends? Hide them with vaseline. Want to avoid a dodgy tan? Grab the vaso. Here are 11 reasons why the stuff is a hair and makeup must-have.
If you're sick of your scent disappearing after five minutes, apply a small amount of vaseline to your pulse points. This will give something for the perfume to stick to.
If you don't feel like wearing mascara, apply a tiny bit to a spoolie and gently brush through your lashes. It will make them look longer and glossy (and incredibly soft too). As with all things near your eyes though, do take care - always test a small area first and discontinue if you experience any irritation.
