How to Use Smith’s Rosebud Salve

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007 | Beauty Tips, Product Reviews

As I closed my tin of Smith’s Rosebud Salve this morning after dabbing some on my lips, I thought about how wonderfully nifty this product truly is. What is Rosebud Salve, you ask? It’s a cult favorite petrolatum-based salve infused with pampering essential oils that smells sweet, like rosebuds! A little goes a long way. I believe it is one of those multifunctional must-haves that no girl should be without.

Here are some tried-and-true ways to use Rosebud Salve:

  • Eyelash conditioner. A moment of curiosity one day while putting on makeup led me to try something new with Salve. I used my finger to coat my eyelashes with it before I applied mascara. It worked like a charm! My mascara went on more smooth and rich, and my lashes looked long and pretty. Occasionally I will apply it before bed to condition my lashes while I sleep.
  • Highlighter. On days when I’m going to the gym, I apply Rosebud Salve to my eyelids, lips, and cheeks for a lovely, low-maintenance sheen.
  • Hand cream. I have used Rosebud Salve to moisturize my hands and cuticles, especially after a French manicure to enhance the look and sheen. It’s looks and feels so nice!
  • Body cream. Dry knees and elbows? Coat them with some of this stuff - problem solved!
  • Curling iron burns. Had a nasty fall-out with your curling iron this morning? Nurse that burn with some Salve to ease the sting and speed the healing process.
  • Tame flyaways. Rub a bit of Salve to the tips of your fingers and use it to control hair flyaways. You can also use Salve + a baby toothbrush to tame unruly eyebrows.

I love rosebud salve. I love how it conditions my lashes. I put it on almost every night especially after wearing false eyelashes, it’s a miracle in a tin. Plus, it smells great!

I do all of those same things except with Burt’s Bees balm! My boyfriend got me a BB kit with all sorts of creams and balms, but the lip balm (in stick and tin form) are the best. Their hand and foot cream is great too.
