Rashida (@skinthusiast_pa) shared the beauty tip in an Instagram video.

“Do you feel like your perfume doesn’t last long?” she asked.

“This hack is about to become your best friend. Say hello to Vaseline.”

Immediately $2 tube of petroleum jellyshe dabbed some on the inside of her wrists and behind her ears.

“Apply a thin layer of Vaseline to your pulse points before spritzing your favorite perfume,” she said.

After applying her perfume to the same spots, Rashida was locked up all day.

The trick was backed by science, she explained, thanks to Vaseline’s occlusive properties.

“When applied to the skin, it forms a thin barrier that retains moisture and prevents water loss through evaporation,” she said.

“The same barrier applies to odor molecules.”

Without Vaseline, odor molecules normally evaporate and the odor diminishes.

“If petroleum jelly is applied beforehand, it helps slow the evaporation process,” she said.

The jelly helps trap the fragrance molecules and prevent evaporation.

“As a result, the fragrance molecules remain concentrated on the skin for longer, extending the duration of the fragrance,” she added.

“Say goodbye to constant touch-ups and hello to a scent that lasts from morning to night, who wouldn’t want that?”
