Hi Tom

The best for my dry skin is my mothers beeswax and olivoil. She heat  the oil and melt down the wax and pour it in a tin.
It looks just like cold baconfat from the frying pan, but it´s not so soft.
I use it also when I have paint or other spots on my hands, during the night they just disappear. Wonder where?

Dont use it on Dalmatiner dogs!! :0).

Instead for livning nude out in the wilderness and get the skin peeled of sand and soil i use plenty of granulated sugar to scrub the skin in the shower.
