baby oil Archives - Posh in Progress

Baby oil is a total multi-tasker. I just realized it the other day. While I was cleaning out my medicine cabinet, I noticed I had a whole bottle. Since my babies don't need it anymore, and I haven't used it to tan since I was an idiot in HS, I figured there must be other uses for it. Sure enough! There are tons of baby oil beauty hacks that are completely unexpected. Here are the 7 that surprised me the most. 7 Unexpected Baby Oil Beauty Hacks 1. Moisturize your Cuticles I have the worst habit of picking at my cuticles, especially when they are super dry. Using baby oil on your cuticles moisturizes them and keeps them in the best shape. 2. Make a DIY Body Scrub I made this lemon and ginger scrub a couple years ago but I used olive oil. I recently tried it with baby oil and it works just as well!
