Helpful Uses Of Baby Oil Part 1

In contrast to the popular joke, baby oil is not made of babies, it is actually a byproduct of the oil refining process. Baby oil is a fantastic lubricant for massaging and nurturing the skin of the baby, but it has many other uses that can benefit the adult, some of which may surprise you. Learn about these 15 helpful uses for baby oil!

1. Stopped ears Drip a few drops of warm baby oil into the stopped ear. Lay on your side or make sure the ear  is in horizontal position, and gently drip. Let it stay like this for a few minutes and then reverse your head and let it dribble out, cleaning the ear with a paper towel. 2. Cracked heels To treat dry and cracked heels, rub a little baby oil before bed time. Cover your legs with socks  to keep the bed sheets and blankets from getting dirty. 3. Removing a stubborn ring To remove a ring from your finger that just won't budge, use baby oil as a lubricant. Smear a generous amount on your finger and gently start turning the ring, until it slides off. 4. Removing bandages and Band-Aids  If you have sensitive skin, reduce the discomfort by smearing a coat of baby oil on the sticky  parts of the bandage. Start peeling the bandage gently, until it is removed. 5. Removing paint If you've used paint and got dirty, spill some baby oil and rub, then wash with soap and water  for full removal of the stain.
