Eye Makeup Remover

Effortlessly remove eye makeup while soothing and moisturising your skin.

 

Highlighter

Achieve high-definition bone structure by patting and blending a small amount across your cheekbones. The shine attracts light, giving your skin a contoured look.

 

Lip Gloss

For a clear gloss, apply a dab to your lips. For a coloured gloss, add a drop of food colouring and mix well.

 

Pre-Tanning Preparation

Achieve an even and streak-free tan by applying Petroleum Jelly to dry skin areas before using tanning products. This prevents blotchy tan.

 

Long-lasting Fragrance

Make your perfume last all day by dabbing Petroleum Jelly on your pulse points (wrists and neck) before spraying your favourite scent. The jelly will lock in the fragrance, keeping you smelling great.

 

DIY Exfoliator

Combine brown sugar and Petroleum Jelly to create a homemade exfoliator. Gently massage the mixture onto your skin to buff away dryness and reveal a smoother complexion.

 

Brow Tamer

Keep your eyebrows slick and in place by using a clean mascara wand and applying a small amount of Petroleum Jelly. Sweep the wand in one direction, from the inner to the outer edge of your brows.

 

Cream Eyeshadow

Enhance the pigmentation of your eyeshadow by blending it with Petroleum Jelly. Apply the mixture to your eyelids using a flat eyeshadow brush for a creamy, intensified look.

 

Hair Dye Protector

Prevent dark stains on your forehead while dyeing your hair by applying a layer of Petroleum Jelly along the hairline. This creates a barrier that prevents the colour from sticking to your skin.

 

Split End Concealer

Conceal dryness and frizz in split ends by coating them with Petroleum Jelly. Apply a generous amount and allow it to soak in for at least 30 minutes (or longer for deeper treatment). Wash your hair with a protein-enriched shampoo and conditioner, then let it air dry.

 

Hair Styling Aid

When you run out of hair wax or want a cost-effective alternative, use Petroleum Jelly to style your hair. Simply glide a small amount on your fingers and work it through your hair for desired styling.

 

Face Moisturiser

Extend the life of your favourite moisturiser by adding a touch of Petroleum Jelly to each application. Alternatively, use a pea-sized amount as a moisturising treatment. Leave it on for 15 minutes before gently removing, allowing the product to nourish your skin.

 

Perfect Manicure

Prevent nail polish from getting on your skin during a manicure or pedicure by dabbing a little Petroleum Jelly around your nails.

 

Overnight Skin Softener

Before bed, apply Petroleum Jelly to areas of your skin prone to dryness, such as elbows, heels, and other dry patches. Wake up to extra soft and moisturized skin.

 

Easy Ring Removal

If your ring is tight or stuck, apply a pea-sized amount of Petroleum Jelly to the ring and your finger. The jelly will reduce friction and help the ring slide off easily.

 

Squeaky Door Fix

Eliminate squeaks from doors and cabinets by applying Petroleum Jelly to the hinges. The lubricating properties of the jelly will silence those annoying noises.

 

Shoe Polish Alternative

Revitalise your leather shoes by applying a thin layer of Petroleum Jelly. This will give them a glossy, brand-new appearance.

 

Aid in Healing Bruises, Scabs, and Cuts

Apply Petroleum Jelly to bruises, scabs, and cuts to aid in faster healing. It acts as a protective barrier, preventing dirt and bacteria from entering the wound.

 

Candle Wax Removal

To remove candle wax from surfaces, apply Petroleum Jelly around the edges of the wax and let it sink in for a few seconds. Wipe away the wax with a paper towel. Repeat if necessary.

 

Dandruff Control

Massage Petroleum Jelly into your scalp to reduce itching, scaling, and dandruff. It helps moisturise the scalp and alleviate these common scalp concerns.

 

Chewing Gum Remover

If you have chewing gum stuck in your hair, apply a generous amount and work it into the hair. This will help the gum slide off more easily.

 

Car Battery Corrosion Prevention

During winter, keep your car battery in optimal condition by disconnecting the terminals, cleaning them with a wire brush, and applying Petroleum Jelly. The jelly acts as a barrier, preventing corrosion and ensuring your battery works effectively. Note: Please research and exercise caution when dealing with car parts.

 

Scratch Remover for Wood Furniture

Cover scratches on wood furniture with a generous coat of Petroleum Jelly. Let it sit for 24 hours, then rub it into the wood. Wipe away any excess and polish as usual.
