11 Genius Uses for Aquaphor That Are Not to Be Missed ...

One of the uncommon uses for Aquaphor that you might be interested in is that it can prevent chafing. Whether it's from workout clothes, sunglasses, watches or any other workout accessories, you can apply Aquaphor to any of the areas that might irritate your skin. The last thing you want to worry about when you’re out and about biking or running is to deal with irritated skin!

Another popular way to use Aquaphor is to mix it with beauty products. If your favorite perfume always fades before midday and you want the scent to last longer, apply some Aquaphor to your pulse points or wherever you apply perfume and then spritz. Aquaphor has its own very subtle scent, but it won’t interfere with your fragrance.

Aquaphor is amazing to use as a lip balm to keep your pout moisturized, but you can also mix it with other things to create a custom lip product! Try mixing a small amount of Aquaphor with some Kool Aid to make a flavored lip balm or you can even melt a chocolate chip or two and create a chocolate lip balm. You can also mix some Aquaphor with your favorite lipstick shade and create a cream blush.

Using Aquaphor as a moisturizer is not big news since it’s marketed as one, but did you know you can use it on your face? Many people like to use the ointment on their face to protect their skin from wind and cold weather. If you’re traveling and forgot your eye cream, use a dab of Aquaphor to moisturize your under eye area in a pinch.

Another fabulous Aquaphor use is to use it to tame your hair or eyebrows. Since Aquaphor is thick, it’s not the most ideal product to use on hair by the roots. But if you’re having a hair emergency and your hair is misbehaving-why not use it? You can also get a dab of Aquaphor, rub it between your hands and use it to hide split ends or groom your brows.

Aside from blush and lip balm, you can also use Aquaphor to jazz up your eyes. If you want to give your eyelids a glossy sheen, apply a small amount of the ointment as is to your lids or your brow bone. Or, you can mix any of your favorite powder eye shadow to create a creamy version.

If you dye your hair at home, apply a thin layer of Aquaphor to your hairline to prevent hair dye from getting on your skin. Additionally, you can apply a layer of the product around your finger or toenails when you’re giving yourself a mani or pedi to prevent nail polish from getting on your skin.

Using something that is generally used as a moisturizer as a makeup remover might sound odd, but it works! Not only does this method work, it’s one of the best ways to remove stubborn eye and lip products without irritating your skin. Just put some Aquaphor on a cotton pad and gently apply the ointment on your eyelid or lips in a gentle, circular motion and wipe off.

Many users rave about how Aquaphor was the only product that helped them deal with the drying side effects of Accutane. Accutane, a prescription medication that is prescribed for acne as well as other conditions, can cause painful, dry skin on your face, around your nose or around your lips. Luckily, Aquaphor is tough enough to moisturize and noticeably soothe dry, flaky skin.

Baby can also get in on the many ways to use Aquaphor! Use it to help heal diaper rash, cradle cap, or pacifier rash. You can also use Aquaphor to lubricate anal thermometers and mom can use some of the ointment to help heal cracked nipples from breastfeeding.

The last way to use Aquaphor that I’d like to share with you is to use it to loosen things up. If you have a ring on that is too small, apply a small amount to your finger and the ring will slide off with ease. If you have a nail polish bottle that is hard to open; apply a dab of Aquaphor to the neck of the bottle to help make it easier to open it.
