1. Ear Wax Removal

If you have ever suffered with ear wax build up you know how annoying it can be, and Q-tips are too dangerous to stick deep in there. Instead, put a few drops of baby oil into your ear canal and leave it to soak in for an hour, then clean your ears with tissue and be amazed by all the gunk!

Ear wax build up can be a common issue for many people, causing discomfort and even temporary hearing loss. While Q-tips may seem like an easy solution, they can actually push the wax deeper into the ear canal and potentially cause damage. This is where baby oil comes in. Baby oil is a safe and effective way to soften the ear wax, making it easier to remove. It also has moisturizing properties that can help soothe any irritation in the ear. Simply put a few drops of baby oil into the ear canal and let it sit for an hour before gently wiping away the softened wax with a tissue. This method is not only effective, but also much safer than using Q-tips.

2. Moisturizer

It makes so much sense that baby oil would be a great moisturizer! Why are you paying over the odds for big brand name products when you can spend probably a quarter of the price and have heaps of one of the best moisturizing products you could possibly have?

3. Manicure

Baby oil is a great companion for giving yourself a successful home manicure. Once you have applied and dried your desired colours and coats, massage in some baby oil to your nail beds and cuticles to achieve a super soft and luxurious finish.

In addition to being a great moisturizer for your nails, baby oil can also be used as a cuticle remover. Simply soak your fingers in warm water for a few minutes, then apply a small amount of baby oil to your cuticles and gently push them back with a cuticle pusher. This will help to remove any dead skin and leave your nails looking clean and well-groomed. Furthermore, baby oil can also be used to remove stubborn nail polish, making it a great alternative to harsh acetone-based removers. Just apply a small amount to a cotton pad and gently rub over your nails to easily wipe away any polish residue.

4. Makeup Removal

If you don’t have any cleanser to hand for one reason or another, you can get away with using baby oil to do exactly the same job. It will effectively get rid of things like mascara and foundation, and will also give your skin a moisturizing boost in the process.

If you're in the relentless hunt for the perfect mascara, that not only volumizes but also gives your lashes the much-needed lift, then you should absolutely give the dior show mascara a try. It's undeniably one of the best mascaras that guarantees both length and volume while leaving no clumps behind.

5. Foot Spa

Baby oil is an unbelievable product to use for a really deep and impactful foot massage. It will be able to fix dry cracked heels and dry soles, and it has even been known to be able to even out any dodgy fake tan lines that you might have gained around your feet!

In addition to its use for foot massages, baby oil can also be used as a moisturizer for dry and cracked feet. Its gentle formula is safe for sensitive skin and can help to soften calluses and rough patches. Additionally, the oil can be used to remove stubborn nail polish and prevent cuticles from drying out. It can also be applied to the feet before wearing socks to lock in moisture and prevent dryness. With its versatile uses, baby oil is a must-have for any beauty routine, especially for keeping your feet soft and smooth.
