Exploring the Vaseline and Cornstarch Beauty Hack

In the ever-evolving world of DIY beauty, sometimes the most effective solutions come from the simplest ingredients.

One such trend that’s been gaining attention is the Vaseline and cornstarch beauty hack.

This combination, although unexpected, is praised for its versatility and effectiveness, particularly in skincare and makeup routines.

From smoothing dry patches to acting as a makeup base, this duo offers a variety of benefits worth exploring.

Ingredients

1 A tablespoon of Vaseline
1/2 Half a teaspoon of cornstarch

Instructions

Start by placing the tablespoon of Vaseline in a small, clean mixing bowl. It helps if the Vaseline is at room temperature, making it easier to blend with the other ingredient.

Slowly add the cornstarch to the Vaseline. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press the two together gently.

The texture should start to change as the ingredients incorporate.

Stir the mixture thoroughly until it reaches a smooth and consistent texture. This may take a few minutes, but be patient—the end result should feel creamy and not gritty.

Once the mixture is well-blended, transfer it into a small container with a lid. This will help preserve the freshness of your homemade product and make it convenient to use whenever needed.

Store the mixture in a cool, dry place. Avoid areas with too much heat, as Vaseline can melt and affect the consistency of your concoction.

Before applying the mixture to your face or body, do a small patch test on your wrist or behind your ear to make sure there’s no allergic reaction or irritation.

Once the patch test is successful, you can begin incorporating the mixture into your routine. It can be used as a moisturizer, a makeup primer, or even a spot treatment for dry areas.
