Crisco is hydrogenated vegitable oil... can you use it as a base cream and would it clog your pores??

I remember reading a little while ago that a beauty editor somewhere applied it to hands and elbows and face, and apparently recommended people to do the same, but its not something I have tried.

You might want to do a search on EDS, bombshellbella, as I think fat_swan and keli13 have posted before about using it with success.

There's also this thread:

HTHs. Smile

Actually, I read that thread, but it doesn't really talk about adding actives and stuff in it, although, I admit I read it A LONG TIME AGO.

But thanks for pointing it out to me Smile

Interestingly, the ZO Skin Health Radical Night Repair product ($325) appears to use hydrogenated vegetable oil as a base. However, it appears to be whipped or something because the texture is NOTHING like Crisco...much lighter and airier.

I was thinking when I read this that maybe we can make Crisco lighter and airier by whisking it up? People do it with shea butter, I'm sure Crisco would turn out the same...

Seems to me you could whip it. It's what's used as fluffy icy on those disgusting grocery store cakes. Although, I would imagine it could easily melt, or harden...

I guess better to put it on your skin than eat it.
