These 45 Innovative Uses for Vaseline Prove it’s Not Just for Skin!

23. Painless Earring Replacement

No one enjoys replacing earrings once the hole has healed a bit from lack of use. Lubricate your earlobes with Vaseline prior to wearing them for a painless and smooth insertion. Obviously, we don't mean piercing a new hole in your ears, just one that hasn't been used for a while and could do with a helpful lubricant. Only a masochist would stab their ear open again with the spiky part of an earring! If you coat both sides of your earlobes with Vaseline, you will have a much smoother experience.

24. Concealed Split Ends

If you don’t have the time to visit the hairdresser for a split end treatment, you can smoothen together these pesky trimmings by lathering them with a bit of petroleum jelly. This should not be a permanent fix, however, as we still recommend that you get the proper professional treatment needed to get rid of split ends. Still, no one will be able to notice the difference when you use Vaseline. It is amazing being able to hide your uncooperative hairs like this!
