I learned in medical school that at Duke University they recommended vegetable shortening for dry skin. I need to try it myself.

I started using vegetable shortening 10 years and the trick to using it without messing your clothes is to use a small amount and rubbing it in your hands until its warm and rubbing it over the trouble area.

I do this in the winter. My skin gets especially dry then. After I get out of the shower, I smooth it on lightly. It usually is absorded and not a problem with being oily. Works great!

My sister has a friend that has used crisco to take off her makeup plus her eye make up for years and years. She uses a wash cloth to remove it, but I understand that the makeup hardly budges from the wash cloth when you wash it.

Crisco was once known as "Miracle C" and studied by Universities for it's skin healing properties.

I use coconut oil, then wipe as much off as possible before going to bed. Wear cotton gloves! This is for the middle of the winter.

Grease in your clothing is a downside to this trick. My father-in-law was told to do this by his doctor. I wish his doctor had to do Pop's laundry! The grease would NOT come out, no matter what I did. There was just too much of it. And after a few months, his clothing began to smell rancid. UGH!

Don't you have to worry about grease on your clothes?
