Itchy, dry, winter skin? Try Crisco!

Great tip. This would be great for my hands. They are in water for most of the day at work. When there not in water I'm washing them.
I take baby oil baths for the rest of me. That seems to work pretty good but it makes it slippery for the next person. In other words you might encounter a complaining husband!:)

I have been using a product that we purchased at Bath & Body works. You use it while washing your hands. If feels just like crisco and I wonder, could you use crisco the same way. I firt clean my hands and then while the water is warm and my hands are wet I take a small scoop and rub on my hands under the warm water. I may try the crisco like this and see how it works.

I love your idea, it has the wheels in my mind turning with ideas. thanks

That is a really great idea! I might have to try it but I am going to make sure my husband doesn't catch me rubbing Crisco all over myself. He would think it was his birthday! lol

Apply aloe vera oil on the skin and drink plenty of water more remedies at at http://www.wellnesstalk.org/dryskin.html

Thanks for the article link. Someone told me about crisco a long time ago, but I thought they were playing a prank on me. But I've been trying to heal my dry skin and it seems like crisco might work.

I am also sufering from sever dry skin. I think Crisco will be a good idea, because I have already aplied three four different lotion but did not work. Let's try Crisco this time. Thanks for the link.

wow crazynurse you are coming up with some wild discussions lately. Wome shouldn't bathe for a year, slather themselves in crisco, and pee standing up...BOOM, before you know it, you're French

Oh my all of a sudden while contemplating the crisco.. I got this vision of my dogs all licking my legs after a shower...lol I hope they don't like it too much. I don't want to be a late night snack. I'm willing to try just about anything. I use johnson's softlotion and that works well but I mostly use it on my hands.

it makes perfect sense, but I would have not ever thought of it myself. I am glad to know that it does absorb into the skin, it would not be of much use if it just sat on top of it. my husband has horribly dry hands, all cracked and hurting. I think we will give this a shot - perhaps he can wear some rubber gloves till it sinks in.
