- Make A DIY Lip Scrub
Mix one tablespoon of baby oil with half a tablespoon of brown sugar and a few drops of freshly squeezed lemon to make your own lip scrub for soft and smooth lips. Use a soft washcloth to wipe away the scrub in a circular motion. If you do this every night, your lips will be soft and silky when you wake up.
- Make Cuticle Oil With Baby Oil
We feel cuticle oil is like throwing away your money. We’d suggest you massage some baby oil into your cuticles (you can also use olive oil as a cuticle oil) to soften them and bring hydration to dry skin. It’ll also make gently removing or pushing them in simpler. We’re going to have long and strong nails!
- Tame Your Brows
To tame your bushy brows, soak a clean mascara brush in baby oil and use it. You may also use the oil to dampen your brow brush before grabbing a small amount of shadow and using it to tame your brows.
- Give Yourself A Manicure
Now you can make sure that your nail paint stays on your nails only. Apply a small amount around the edge of your nail using a cotton wool bud so that after your nails are dry, you can easily wipe away the oil and any leftover nail polish.
- Heal Your Cracked Heels
Apply baby oil to your feet before night and wear socks if you have severely dry or cracked heels. Remove your socks in the morning and rinse and dry your feet. This will help to hydrate your dry heels and make them feel better.
- Get Rid Of Post Waxing Stickiness
Apply baby oil straight to the skin to remove the sticky and gooey post-wax residue, then wipe everything away with a washcloth or tissue. Just massage the areas that you feel are extra sticky, then remove them gently.
- Get Rid Of Oil-based Paint On Your Skin
After washing your hands with soap and warm water, soak a cotton wool pad or a face cloth in baby oil. Reapply the cotton wool pad or towel to the region of skin where the paint is, rubbing it in until the paint is completely removed.
- Get Rid Of Soap Scum
Apply a thin layer of soap to the shower walls to prevent soap scum. This will prevent scum build-up and save you time when cleaning!
