My favorite use of Vaseline Petroleum Jelly is that it can be use on our lashes to make it grow longer and it can be applied to our eyebrows to make it thicker, for those who have thin brows. So many useful ways to use Vaseline Petroleum Jelly. Very informative blogg. Thanks Ms. Rochelle. #RochelleRiveraBLOG

    Before having a baby, madalas ko na talaga sya ginagamit. Inaapply ko sya sa lips bago matulog as moisturizer. After putting on lipstick, ginagamit ko din sya as stated sa #72. Pati elbows at knees nagbebenefit dahil sa petroleum jelly. Haha. Beauty Hack talaga. Then, after having a baby, nagagamit ko pa rin sya lalo na pag may insect bites si baby. Super daming gamit ng Vaseline PJ. Recommended talaga to. Thumbs up! 😊☺😉
