You are tired of your perfume wearing off too quickly? You’ve found the answer! This guide from Sound Health and Lasting Wealth shows you how to increase the longevity of your favorite fragrance by using petroleum jelly (Vaseline). This Vaseline Perfume Trick will not only save you money and time, but will also make sure that your scent lasts throughout the day.
Vaseline Perfume: Step-by step instructions
1. Choose a good petroleum jelly, such as Vaseline.
- Avoid using a petroleum jelly that has a strong scent to avoid altering your perfume’s fragrance.
- Make sure that the petroleum jelly is not expired and fresh.
2. Prepare your small container and perfume:
- Do not dilute or water down your favorite perfume.
- Use a clean, small container to combine the petroleum jelly and perfume.
3. How to measure the correct amount of petroleum jelly
- On a clean spatula or spoon, scoop a small amount (about a pea size) of petroleum jelly.
- Use only a small amount as too much can overpower the scent or make it heavy.
4. Add the fragrance to the petroleum jelly
- Pour or spray a few drops into the container containing the petroleum jelly.
- Add more fragrance if necessary, but start with a small quantity.
5. Mix petroleum jelly with perfume
- Mix the perfume and petroleum jelly thoroughly using a spoon or spatula.
- Blend the mixture well to create a uniform and smooth texture.
6. Use the mixture of petroleum jelly:
- Use your fingertips to apply a small amount using the mixture of petroleum jelly after showering or moisturizing.
- Rub gently on the pulse points such as your wrists, neck behind the ears and inner elbows.
7. Allow the petroleum jelly absorb:
- Allow the mixture to absorb for a few moments before dressing.
- The fragrance will blend better with your body heat and last longer.
Tips and considerations
- Adjust the ratio to suit your taste and the strength and volume of the perfume.
- Applying too much petroleum jelly can make your skin feel greasy.
- Applying the mixture of petroleum jelly to clothing can leave marks or stains.
- Remember that petroleum jelly is occlusive. It creates a protective barrier on your skin. It’s best to test the mixture first on a small patch of skin if you have sensitive skin or are prone to acne.
- Try different fragrances and adjust the quantity of petroleum jelly until you find the perfect blend for each scent.
Vaseline Perfume: Is it Safe?
No the Vaseline fragrance trick is generally not considered safe.
Skin irritation Petroleum Jelly can irritate the skin. This is especially true on sensitive areas such as the wrists and neck, where perfumes are typically applied. This can cause redness, itching, dryness and even acne.
Clogged pore: Vaseline can clog pores and cause acne. This is particularly important if your skin is acne-prone.
Allergic Reactions: Some individuals may have an allergy to petroleum jelly. This can cause a severe reaction.
Scent distortion: Vaseline, while it is claimed to trap the scent of perfumes, can actually distort their fragrance, making them smell stronger or even unpleasant.
Staining Vaseline leaves oily marks on clothes and fabrics that are hard to remove.
Alternatives There is a variety of safer and more effective methods to prolong the life of your perfume, including:
- Apply to pulse points on wrists, neck and inner elbows
- Before applying perfume, moisturise your skin
- Layering your perfume with a body lotion or oil that matches it
- Avoid rubbing your wrists after application
