Clever Uses for Baby Oil You’ve Probably Never Thought Of

Many makeup removers rely on oils to break down stubborn products like mascara or eyeliner. Baby oil works the same way—without the high price tag. It’s especially effective for dry skin, melting away makeup while leaving your face soft, smooth, and moisturized instead of stripped or tight.

Soak a cotton pad or bud in baby oil and gently swipe it across your skin until all makeup is gone. Follow up with water or a mild cleanser to remove residue. It’s an easy, budget-friendly way to take off makeup at the end of the day.
