I love everything about winters. The chilly season makes me feel fresh and alive. Cozy jumpers, boots, scarves, and what not! But, unfortunately, winters come with its fair share of skin problems. As the temperatures drop, heaters clank on, and the wind whips up, our skin refuses to cooperate with us and the battle for healthy skin begins. The change in humidity, the exposure to indoor heaters, and blustery winds actually can make our skin drier and duller. But we have a one-product-solution that really shines in the winter– Vaseline! Dry feet, elbows, face? Pretty much anything that’s dry or irritated benefits from a dose of the goopy, gooey goodness that is Vaseline. Here are some winter Vaseline hacks you can thank us for later:

1. Say goodbye to chapped lips

Your lips are the most sensitive organ. They tend to dry most frequently in winters. Just apply a small amount of Vaseline on them to provide them with quick moisturisation. 

2. From matte to gloss in seconds

Matte lipsticks look absolutely hot but are a nightmare for girls in winters. But that’s not a problem if you dab a little bit of Vaseline on your lower lip and plump it all over your lips slightly.

3. Protect a sore nose

When you have a cold or allergies, runny noses will often lead to redness in the area. Chapped, cracked skin caused by excessive tissue use can be avoided by dabbing a bit of Vaseline on and around your nostrils to add moisture back.

4. Open your stuck nail polish bottle

Have you ever struggled to unscrew the cap of your favourite nail paint in winters? That won’t be a problem if you apply a smidge of Vaseline on the bottle’s thread.

5. Prevent dark circles

Neglecting proper skin care and avoiding proper moisturizer may lead to dark circles. Just take a small amount of Vaseline on a cotton ball and place under your eyes for a couple of minutes and wash off. This will eliminate dark circles.

6. Tame frizzy hair and split ends

I cannot imagine washing my hair with cold water in the winters and the lukewarm water leaves my hair frizzy and dry! To tame those flyaways and frizz at the ends of your hair, Vaseline is a life saver. Spread a very small amount of Vaseline on to the brush and then gently comb away to glory!

7. Eliminate feet odour

Winters mean a lot of layers! Although it works with clothes, layers over layers on your feet can sometimes result in bad odour. Just apply some Vaseline between your toes and the back of your heel and voila! It’s that simple.

8. Get rid of dry skin

Apply Vaseline on your skin, focusing on your most exposed areas after taking a shower. Applying petroleum jelly after stepping out of a steamy shower will help penetrate deeper into the dry areas as your pours open up, and keep them hydrated.

Guys, I don’t know about you. But I think Vaseline is a Godsend!
