30+ Clever Uses for Vaseline We Never Thought Of

Vaseline is a common household item that holds a lot more promise than you might have expected. Keep scrolling to read about the clever uses for Vaseline you may have never thought of before.

After you wear shoes around a lot, the shine they had when you purchased them might start to fade as they get dirty or even just more worn down. Instead of shining with polish, you could always take an easier route by scooping out a dab of Vaseline and gently rubbing it on the shoes.

If you have a squeaky door, you probably need to oil the hinge. At this point, many people reach for a bottle of WD-40. Yet, not everyone has this readily around the house. Don't worry if you don't because, once again, you can grab your handy jar of Vaseline. You just need to apply some Vaseline to the hinge - you can be as liberal as you want. It will lubricate the hinge and let the door move freely without creaking.

If you have brows that are hard to handle, you can tame them easier than you might think. All you need is a little Vaseline to whip them into shape. To do this, just dab a little bit of Vaseline on a cotton swab or brow brush, and work it into your brows. Much like split ends, this will help hold your brows in place throughout the day.

Split ends can be a hassle, especially if you can't go get a haircut right away. That doesn't mean that you have to deal with their appearance until your next trip to the salon. You can change the appearance of your split ends by putting a bit of Vaseline on your fingers and working it into the ends of your hair. This simple hack will help your hair stick to itself, giving it the appearance of united strands.
