Drumroll please............................ Crisco! I know the first reaction is usually "gross". At least that is what I thought when my son's doctor told me I could use it on his ezcema flares. But you know what it works and it is cheap especially if you buy a store brand vegetable shortening. Ok so here is how you use it:
~For ezcema you apply the shortening to the flare then wrap in cling wrap overnight. The cling wrap keeps it in contact with the skin.
~For dry cracked heals apply the shortening to your feet. Put on an old pair of socks overnight. Repeat as needed.
~For your face yes I said your face. Wash your face and apply a thin layer before bedtime. It keeps your skin well hydated and firmer looking. You don't look greasy when you wake up either. If your skin is prone to blemishes then I would not use it on your face.
~For everywhere else. You can use vegetable shortening as you would any other moisturizer after a shower.
As Loretta Lynn says "Crisco will do ya proud everytime"
