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

37. Elbows, Gentle to the Touch

These often-scratchy corners of our arms will benefit magnificently from a bit of daily Vaseline rubbing. Just make sure that you aren’t wearing a long-sleeved top when doing so to avoid staining. You might have the ideal skincare routine, with all manner of products, and still find that your elbows are rough. It is time to go back to basics with the introduction of the classic petroleum jelly care. You will love running your hands up and down your arms now.

38. Car Battery Care

Amazingly, your car battery quality and life can be maintained in a few easy steps with Vaseline. Start by disconnecting the battery terminals before scrubbing them nicely with steel wool. Put the terminals back in place now and lather them with petroleum jelly in order to protect them from the weather’s effects, repelling corrosion for the foreseeable future. This is a safe, convenient, and cheap way to take care of the most vital part of any car. Take charge of your car's engine care and forget about the pros (until some other problem crops up).
