Elizabeth's Secret: Vaseline

I remember always seeing a jar of vaseline in my grandmother's medicine cabinet, so for that reason, I've always associated this sticky substance with the elderly. Little did I know, one of the world's most beautiful women, Elizabeth Taylor, was using it to keep her lips and skin plump. With the craze over full pillow -like lips in Hollywood, many starlets have used injections only to leave them looking like a fish. Applying vaseline to your lips throughout the day is like filling your dehydrated body with water. Your lips absorb the moisture and become more hydrated and plump. Elizabeth also applied the vaseline to her face and body each night for the same hydrating effects. Skin will appear more plump and glowing in the morning. However, it will plump whatever areas you apply it to, so avoid putting vaseline under eyes. If you do, the skin under your eyes will look swollen and puffy in the morning. And now you know, and knowing is half the battle.
