Have you heard about all of the shocking things you can use Vapor Rub for? We all know of the great benefits it has for common cold symptoms, headaches, acne, and muscle aches and pains; however you can use it for so much more! It was absolutely amazed when I saw all the things you can use Vapor Rub for. Did you know it can be used for insects? Or pets? Well you can! Let’s explore this world of Vapor Rub together.

Insects:

Vapor Rub can be used for several of the annoying pesky insects we despise. Vapor Rub is a natural insect repellant. Who would have thought, right? It naturally repels mosquitos and is great for mosquito bites. If you are enjoying the outdoors and find yourself around a bunch of mosquitos you can simply dab areas of your skin (neck, arm, knee, etc.) with Vapor Rub and the menthol will repel the mosquitos. Genius! And if you happen to get bitten by one and it begins itching, which is about 99.9% of the time, you can rub the bite with the vapor rub and it will stop the itching.

Did you know Vapor Rub will also repel flies? Who knew, right? Flies are not a fan of the menthol smell of the vapor rub. When those pesky flies are around at your picnics or BBQ cookouts, simply open up a jar of Vapor Rub and set it  around where you do not want the flies and they will avoid that area. Now you can enjoy your cookouts without worrying about swatting off the flies.

Pets:

This product works wonders for those pet owners out there. Never in a million years would I have thought about using Vapor Rub with my pets, but you can! Here is how this product will save your sanity when it comes to your household pets.

1. Vapor Rub will conceal the smell of pet urine! As a pet owner myself, this struggle is one of the most difficult ones to control. Dogs will continue to go back to the same spot and urinate. This product saved my carpet and my sanity. After a pet urinates just simply rub in the vapor rub into the exact spot and it will deter pets from continuing to urinate in the same area. Life saver!

2. Female dog owners: Vapor Rub will cover the cover the “female scent” when they go into heat. If you don’t want male dogs going crazy and trying to get to your female dog, take a small dollop of Vapor Rub and rub it underneath the bottom of her tail. The menthol smell  will mask her “special” scent and keep the male dogs away.

Skin Saver:

Although you may not love the smell of Vapor Rub it is a life saver for your skin!

1. Eczema and cracked heels: This stuff works miracles! It will smooth out your skin and take away any inflammations and irritations. If you suffer from eczema or any skin irritations, just simply rub the vapor rub over the inflamed area and you will begin to see results in as little as 24 hours. Personally, I love this product for my heels. My heels are always cracked and rough. I rub my heels with Vapor Rub every night before bed and cover them in socks. The results? Silky smooth heels! It is a perfect way to buy time between pedicure visits.

2. Stretch marks can be annoying and embarrassing. Did you know Vapor Rub can help with that? If you rub vapor rub into the stretch marks for 40 nights the stretch marks will become less noticeable and smooth out the skin as well. I don’t know about you guys, but anything that I can do to make stretch marks less noticeable then I am down to try it!

There are so many shocking ways to use Vapor Rub I bet you weren’t aware of. There are tons of things you can use this product for. Having anything that serves multiple uses is always a positive in my household! Stay tuned for more shocking ways to use products in your Camden home!
