Get Splinters Out Easily

Don’t you hate it when you get a painful splinter that feels impossible to get out? You do not have to keep trying to extract it with a pair of tweezers. Instead of risking skin damage, you can coax it out of the skin with Vicks VapoRub. The best part of this hack is that you do not have to do much. In fact, you only have to clean the said area before you rub in Vicks VapoRub and top it up with a band-aid. Once the balm has worked its magic after a couple of hours, the fragment should have been extracted on its own.

Mask Bad Smells

There are certain smells in life that you simply can’t avoid. No matter what you do, a baby’s diaper or the trash will always stink. Even though it is hard to get rid of them on a permanent basis, it is possible to at least mask them. Grab your Vicks VapoRub tub if you are sensitive to smells because this is going to solve the problem. Just smother some of it under your nose until you are done with the source of the bad smell. On top of that, it can also be turned into an air freshener of sorts if you really like its scent.
