What is Vaseline used for?

Applying Vaseline over eye serum or face cream helps boost the effectiveness of the products by preventing the moisture they provide from evaporating off the skin. This only works if the products aren't retinol based because using Vaseline over products that have retinol-based formulas irritates the skin. Vaseline is also used as an ingredient in homemade lip and body scrubs. Mixing sugar with a small amount of the product creates a lip scrub, while mixing a large amount of the product with kosher salt creates a body exfoliant.\nVaseline, also know as petroleum jelly, is an occlusive mois..

What are some good natural hair dyes?

Pure henna tints the hair naturally by staining the hair strand with the tannins, or dye compounds, in the plant. Henna blends away gray hair and provides a reddish tint to the hair.

What do I use to dilute black tattoo ink to make shades of gray?

If you want to use water to make gray, do so drop by drop; otherwise, by the time you've hit the desired color, the ink may be so thin that the gray will look washed out instead of solid.
