Just last week, my friend who has mild eczema on her legs, told me about Ahava's dead sea salt and the miracle it brought to her. I wasted no time in getting a pack of it (although very costly in Singapore at SGD16 for a 250g pack), and rushed home to soak my itchy, flaky, inflamed feet.
OMG t's a GOD SEND!
It stinged for the initial 5mins, but after the feet has absorbed it, it was soothing and there was immediate noticeable improvement! Even my boyfriend agreed! I marveled at the difference - redness reduced and my feet felt light and calm, like a good detox. I just soaked again today when it was starting to itch and found relief. However, I realized the water has to be rather concentrated for noticeable improvement, and 1 pack only gets me 2-3 foot soaks and that's rather costly. I've also tried epsom salt soaks countless times, and although it does reduce the itch, the effect is nothing as spectacular as pure dead sea salt. Epsom is purely magnesium sulfate, while dead sea salt contains high concentration of magnesium and a whole slew of other minerals ie. sodium, calcium, potassium etc - all goodness for blood circulation and skin hydration. It's ironic that it's called 'dead sea', isn't it?
Now I wish I had the Dead Sea in my backyard.
