The Vaseline Hack: Make Your Perfume Last Longer
1. Dab a Small Amount of Vaseline on Pulse Points: Apply a thin layer of Vaseline to areas like your wrists, neck, and behind your ears.
2. Spray Your Perfume Over It: The Vaseline acts as a barrier, locking in the fragrance and helping it last much longer than when applied to dry skin.
3. Enjoy All-Day Freshness: This hack is a lifesaver for those long days when you need your scent to stay put.
