7 Alternative Uses for Lip Balm
It is the time of year to stock up on lip balm. Lip balm can be used as a lubricant much like household oil:
Prevent windburn by rubbing lip balm on your face before you go into the cold wind. Great for babies and toddlers.- Unstick a stuck zipper. Rub a little lip balm up and down the teeth of a zipper to smooth its action
- Unstick sticky drawers by spreading a bit of lip balm on the tracks and wheels.
- Remove a stuck ring
- Groom wild eyebrows and mustaches
- Stop bleeding from shaving cuts
- Prevent outdoor light bulbs from getting stuck by coating the the threads with a little lip balm before setting them in the socket. Removal will be easier.
Frugal Friday Tip: If you run out of lip balm and need relief for chapped lips, Olive oil works great.

LOL! I appreciate these ideas as I often come across half used ones that are old found in coat pockets from season before and seem kinda yucky to use on one’s lips-SO now that there is a use for these I will toss no more! After reading the zipper idea-it prompted me to use it on my patio door track!! I usually use soap but this is less messy! Thanks for the post!!
