Hello, Fireflies!
Have you heard of Ahava? A year ago, I had a friend in Israel send me a swap package that included some Ahava products, and I fell in love. I found out that you can also get a lot of their products here in the USA, which made me so happy!
My husband suffers from eczema, and I am always on the lookout for products that might help him. The minerals in Dead Sea mud are supposed to be very good for combating dryness and eczema. I picked up this Intensive Nourishing Body Cream with Dermud, their trademarked Dead Sea ingredient.
It's not designed specifically for eczema, but as you can see, they recommend it for the relief of many of its symptoms, like cracking, redness, and roughness.
This is one of the thickest creams I've ever used. You can see in this pix that the cream holds its shape after being squeezed from the tube! That's thick!
It's rich and emollient, and it feels really good. Even after spreading it out a bit, you can see how rich it is. Yeah, it takes a minute to completely sink in, but it's not greasy. It doesn't have any perfume, either. Just rich, muddy goodness.
It didn't cure hubby's eczema, but when he used it regularly, it did help with all but the worst outbreaks that needed prescription medicine. It works great for my winter-dry skin, especially on my legs and ankles, which can get so dry that they itch and flake.
Do you have a special winter cream (or a really good eczema cream)?
