Some veterinarians recommend using Bag Balm on various animals' dry skin, abrasions, cuts. Dogs' irritated paws and horses' cracked hooves can benefit from the salve. Before using the product on your animal, consult your local veterinarian to make sure the use of Bag Balm in your particular situation would be beneficial.
- Many people have used Bag Balm as a skin protectant, as well as a relief for damaged skin. Skiers can use the product to prevent or treat chapped cheeks and lips. You can use Bag Balm to treat areas that are prone to dryness and cracking, such as elbows and feet. Some individuals report Bag Balm to be an effective remedy for diaper rash; consult your pediatrician before trying this on your infant. Many women use bag balm as a cosmetic facial treatment that makes skin glow. Another use is to smooth it on an area that has razor burn.
- Bag Balm can be used in various capacities around your home. If you don't have any non-squeak spray handy, try it on hinges that squeak or don't move well. Rub a little onto an old, soft rag to shine leather shoes. Buff the shoe well after treating it with Bag Balm for a rich shine. Another personal use for this product is to heal tattoos.
