My husband's eccentric aunt, a PhD in entomology, used
Crisco for hand
and face cream. She said if it was safe to eat, it must be
safe to wear.

Wanna puke? A very strange woman began clinging to my band like a barnacle
at one of our gigs. Our drummer, who was not very good at spotting people
you shouldn't talk to, told her she had beautiful hair. She said that when
she cooks salmon, and it exudes fish juice into the cooking pan, she uses it
to make her hair shiny.

If she was telling the truth, that is SERIOUSLY yucky, and she
is weirder than weird.

The problem with this woman is that when she tells the truth, it's stranger
than anything anyone could possibly invent. :-)

Crisco isn't safe to eat.

I mix honey and baking soda. I nuke the honey until it bubbles then add the
baking soda. It gets very light and fluffy, let it cool and then use on my
face. Wash off in the shower.

Back in...oh, probably the late 1950s and early 1960s, my mother
went through a phase where she baked her caucasian skin to a deep
tan every summer via the backyard lounger. Her lube-job of choice
was olive oil.

But it's a bitch to rub in, eh?
I prefer a hand cream that disappears easily in to the skin rather than
fighting to get it to absorb or having to rub off the excess?

I dealt with that with trying pure lanolin back when I was
breastfeeding. The stuff was way too....concentrated?

Every once in a while I'll slather Bag Balm on my hands and don white cotton
gloves before going to sleep. Mom said they did this when she was young.
It really does soften up the skin and makes your hands look great. But yes,
it's greasy as hell (hence the gloves).

Learn to spin. The natural lanolin in the fleece keep hands soft
