If you have other stuff, mention it in comments.
9. Deodorant
It is not necessary to panic if you have forgotten your deodorant by going somewhere. If you rub alcohol on your armpits, you will eliminate the bacteria that cause the bad odor. However, use it temporarily, as long exposure to alcohol can cause skin irritation.
8. Eliminate Bed Bugs
Bed bugs can be difficult to eliminate. They can sneak into your home after the holidays or after staying in the home of someone who is not very hygienic. You can kill them with the help of alcohol.
Use a spray bottle to spray it on your pillow and mattress. Do this several times to completely get rid of these insects.
7. Killing lice
The friction of alcohol can help in the cases of lice. Pour into a bottle and add several drops of lavender oil. Concentrate on your scalp and hair when spraying the solution and comb your hair to remove the dead lice.
6. Remove Nail Polish
Common nail cleaners contain various severe chemicals that can damage the nails. The best replacement for chemical acetone is rubbing alcohol.
5. Clean Your Face
Rubbing alcohol has strong anti-inflammatory effects that soothe the affected skin, prevents the appearance of additional acne and disinfects existing pimples. Simply apply a little directly to the area of affected skin. Do not overdo it!
4. Cold Compress
If you put alcohol in the refrigerator, it will not freeze. This means you can use it to create a cold compress.
Prepare a 2 in 1 solution of water and alcohol and keep it sealed in a plastic bag in the refrigerator by removing the air as much as possible for at least one hour.
3. Clean Your Ears
Mix rubbing alcohol and white vinegar and soak a cotton swab in the solution. Leave it in your ears to allow the wax to melt and flow naturally.
2. Remove Ingrown Hairs
Apply alcohol will relieve any irritation and will leave your skin smoother after shaving. This also prevents the hairs from remaining in the skin.
1. Herpes Sore
Apply isopropyl alcohol up to 70% alcohol on the affected area and your herpes sores will quickly disappear.
