Tip #8: Soft, well-hydrated cuticles
No more dry skin around your nails! Massage a touch of petroleum jelly into your cuticles every day. For a deeper treatment, wear cotton gloves at night. The result: stronger, more beautiful nails.
Tip #9: A quick and easy homemade scrub
No need for expensive treatments! Simply mix petroleum jelly with a little sugar or fine salt. Gently massage into your skin, then rinse with warm water: it’ll be soft and radiant. Use once or twice a week.
Tip #10: Avoid hair dye stains
Before using a home hair color, apply petroleum jelly around your face, behind your ears, and on your neck. This prevents the color from sticking to your skin, for a clean, streak-free result.
