Another sneaky trick: safflower oil

I had read about using safflower oil as a moisturizer on Yahoo (I mean as a moisturizer for humans, not a moisturizer for Yahoo, because that would be ridiculous.) Being a sucker for a sneaky trick, anything cheap, and feeling like I put one over on cosmetics companies, I ran right out to the supermarket and bought some of the stuff. You can find it right there in your olive oil/salad dressing/Crisco isle.

The result: lovely! I put it on my legs and elbows and it gave them a nice sheen, made them lusciously soft, and had no scent to speak of. You do need to give it some time to sink in if you're going to put clothes over it, as it is oil and it will stain. It's really ideal if you're wearing a skirt or dress, as it makes your legs look quite ravishing.

When it's not being slathered on legs, safflower oil is used in cooking, as a nutritional supplement, and can be found in many cosmetic and hair products, particularly organic ones.

Update: a couple more things to note. 1--Be careful pouring it into your hand. There is no special spout the way there is for beauty products, so accidents are likely if you're not super careful. (And I say this from experience. My bathroom floor is still a mess...) 2--You will likely want to blott off excess with a paper towel to keep from transfering oil to everything you come in contact with for 20 minutes.
