Olivia Palermo is mad about the €2.69 product you’re using all your life

How she uses it might surprise you.

Vaseline*.

Yes, the humble tin of petroleum jelly that fixes numerous beauty woes is in Olivia Palermo’s go-to kit.

Her style is achingly gorgeous and it makes sense that her makeup and skincare routine would be of interest to her many fans.

In a recent interview with Allure, Olivia said that she never ever sleeps with her makeup on and instead of an expensive cleanser, she just reaches for the Vaseline.

The fashion queen said:

“There’s no excuse for not taking off your makeup—ever. I don’t use a fancy product.

“I just wipe my face with Vaseline and a cotton pad every night before bed.”

While Vaseline is a bit of a wonder product in the fact that it does numerous things, I can’t say I’d ever thought of using it as a cleanser.

It softens chapped lips, slicks back stray eyebrow hairs, acts as an eye gloss when you’re stuck and (my personal fave) it is GREAT for removing hair dye that tends to stick around your hairline.

If your skin is sensitive or oily, I’d recommend consulting a professional before trying this particular tip out some of the ingredients may be too heavy for you.
