Crisco... does a body good? (UPDATE)

As a recession moisturizer it does. I'm taking this 1 lb., $2.49 baby for a moisturizing ride of its life. This is day 1.

Before you think I'm too crazy - think of it this way. It has all natural ingredients, it's unscented, it even has 15% of your daily vitamin E - all in one tablespoon.

Wish me luck.

UPDATE:

After I put it on, it was quickly absorbed into my skin and this morning I woke up, with no dry patches on my legs, which usually happens after I apply lotion. Unline Vaseline, which is altogether too greasy, Crisco goes on and absorbs with no residue. I believe this blog says it best, stating that Crisco may even be better than Creme de la Mer.
Here are some comments from makeupalley.com that gives Crisco a 4.3 out of 5 - one of the most highly rated moisturizers on the website.

  1. so are hydrogenated oils bad for you too if you rub it on your skin? idk how this works. at least crisco is kosher.

  2. Whoa, for under $5, I'd be willing to try a little Crisco. Some versions contain soybean oil, full of skin-healthy fatty acids. But, I'm not sure about the hydrogenated oils...
