Stubborn eye makeup such as eyeliner or waterproof mascara can be easily removed with vaseline.

Vaseline is petroleum-based, so it dissolves almost any kind of makeup gently.

Vaseline is also safe to use around your eye area and is especially effective at removing waterproof mascara.

Coconut oil mixed with vaseline will help lashes to grow to their full potential, it will enable them to grow to their full length and thickness.

Coconut oil does not increase the rate of lash growth, but it will strengthen them and prevent them from falling out as frequently. Coconut oil also helps fight bacteria that can also lead to hair loss. The Vaseline will moisturise the lashes, making them look fuller and lusher.

This hack may not be suitable for everyone as coconut oil is highly comedogenic and may clog pores on the face.

Using coconut oil on the cheekbones as a subtle shiny highlight is a great natural way to brighten the face and give it a dewy look.

Place a small amount of raw honey over the irritated area, and then cover with a bandaid. As honey has natural wound healing properties, it will assist with calming the acne. 

For a more in depth explanation about how honey can remove pimples, honey’s main antibacterial effects have to do with its high content of glucuronic acid, which gets converted to glucose oxidase. On the skin, this oxidase is immediately converted to hydrogen peroxide, Hydrogen peroxide functions similarly to other acne treatments, such as benzoyl peroxide.
