Practical Uses of Vaseline

Vaseline is an ideal product to use for skin care, and you might also be familiar with a couple of its other practical uses. Because of its softening properties, Vaseline has been found to be handy for a multitude of applications, including cosmetic, beauty and home purposes. 
Important: Since Vaseline contains petroleum oil, which is a by-product of the oil we use for our cars, excessive use of the product may not be good for your health, so make sure you take the necessary safety measures.
For a more natural alternative to this product, you may even try the homemade version of Vaseline, which does not use petroleum.
