Minerals From the Dead Sea

19 years ago

My friend told me about very good results to her skin after she used More Minerals face moisturizing day cream.

(www.moredeadsea.com)

I donÂt see the influences she talked about.

What do you think? Maybe I have to wait some more time?

Do you believe in the good influences of the minerals from the Dead Sea in Israel?

I would like to hear reactions.

I only see a difference in my skin after I've had a deep cleaning and exfoliating, to remove the dead skin that accumulates; then it's clearer looking.

Otherwise, a good moisturizer will hydrate the skin but there's no noticeable difference. I don't believe in any better influence from the dead sea minerals; I used to use Ahava body cream, they also use dead sea minerals, it was good but no better than other body creams.

I occasionally use a moisturizer made by Ahava, which is supposed to contain minerals from the Dead Sea. I like it. Not greasy, it does seem to work. No miracles, though. Actually I would like to find more Ahava products where I live, but the moisturizer was all I could find at TJMaxx. One of the ladies I work with did rant and rave about them when she returned from a trip to the Holy Land. Hope to find the entire line one day soon, 'cause I'd really like to try them. Having tried the moisturizer only,I don't think I can give a good personal review of the products.

Hi jt, I think the easiest thing to do is the lasagna gardening. I have done many many of these in my yard when I lived in Louisiana and now Mississippi. All of gardening is somewhat physically demanding, I am surely slowing down as I age. But there are some easier methods. First I would do some reading. Check out some books at the library if you can on what interests you, I enjoyed reading lasagna gardening books and Ruth Stout the mulch lady. Online has lots of info too. Depending on your budget you might be able to hire a young fella to do some work. I just paid a neighbor's boy and he worked 4 hrs in my yard this weekend. You can make lasagna beds just by mounding up organic matter or you can make a raised bed with wood, a raised bed kit (Sams Club had them cheap), or with bricks, pavers, cinder blocks. For shade I have columbine, hostas, hydrangea, mahonia, lorapetalum, astilbe, pieris. People also grow heuchera but I have no success with them. Hostas are easy, in my opinion, and make a nice garden. Start small. Since you want to attract birds and butterflies, get a birdbath or fountain (love, love my fountain), even a small one and some are solar. If you can, put out some shepherd's hooks or hang bird feeders in trees. These do not have to be expensive. I get best results with black sunflower seed. Butterflies usually like plants that grow in sun, so if you can find a little sun, you can put some annuals there. Even if you buy some pots (my advice buy the resin or fiberglass ones that are not heavy and don't crack in winter). You can find some that look like real stone, shop around it is fun to be on a mission. I am frugal and am always looking for a bargain. Butterflies are said to like a shallow place with little rocks for water. I use a clay saucer with smooth rocks in it. I nestle that in some flowers. Again, let me say, start small with a spot that you enjoy looking at out of a window or sitting outside. Good luck to you. Laurie

"Some people make the mistake of using systemic insecticides in an attempt to control leaf miners. This not only eliminates beneficial insects, it also eliminates the possibility of eating your citrus. Systemic insecticides are quickly transferred into the flesh of your citrus, making it unsafe to eat. " This is not true. Anyone who can read and research, knows it is not factual. Just because it is printed in a newspaper does not make it accurate!!!!! Lisa Here is a link that might be useful: Admire Pro data

Mineral Make-Up. OUCH!
Q
Comments (4)
Well an "itch" I could deal with, this BURNED like my face was on fire. I had to wash it off. I had previously tried mineral make-up at the counter of one of the BE stores and it did sort of itch a bit and 'felt funny' all the way home. Even with the cheap stuff I bought and tried back in May I was acutely aware of something being on my face, sort of 'itchy'. Even if I use the mineral make-up without scrubbing my face first I am thinking that this stuff ain't too safe for the eyes or lungs should any find their way there. I've already decided to toss it and go back to using pancake make-up as a foundation. Just a 'heads-up' to anyone who may be concerned with contact lenses.

Sea Mineral Fertilizer Seminar in Pryor
Q
Comments (0)
I hope this is not counted as spamming and if it is I do apologize. Around Pryor there has been some interest among gardeners and farmers about sea mineral fertilizer due to a billboard along the way to Tulsa. To answer some of the questions, the local Sea-90 dealer (who is not me but I am one of his customers) has decided to put on a seminar in Pryor. The speaker will be Robert Cain, founder of SeaAgri and associate of Dr. Maynard Murray. After Mr. Cain's speech there will be plenty of time for Q and A, perhaps even one on one conversation depending on how many people attend. Afterward there will also be a demo on equipment used to apply sea mineral to field and pasture. Here are some details of the event. WHO: Robert Cain founder of SeaAgri, inc. WHEN: Thursday February 26, 2015 at 2:00pm WHERE: Pryor, Oklahoma at Loyd Arthur's Prairie Rose Farm DIRECTIONS: From the intersection of Highway 20 and Elliot St. (near the OkieDokie convenient store) go north on Elliot St. 1 mile Elliot St will end and curve onto East 480 Road – go 1 ¼ mile. The Prairie Rose Western Reception Hall will be on the Left (North) Here are some related websites. http://www.seaagri.com/index.htm http://www.prairieroseok.com/

funnily enough, I was at Winner's today ( canadian equivalent of TJMax) and they had all sorts of Ahava products; I picked up the body scrub and lotion also, half price. There is a store in west palm beach at City Place that sells Ahava products; but if the products are at the discounters, maybe the distribution was dropped.

mitchdesj, I hope you will tell us what you think of them. As I said, the person who tried them had nothing but praise for the products.
I also wonder if there are some legal issues as I recently read something about a litigation between Ahava in Israel and the US importer/distributors. Perhaps, they ARE dropping their distribution because of this?

The Ahava products are fine; no better no worse than other quality products, I did the scrub and moisturizer combo a few times and was happy with the results. The fact that there are dead sea salts in them showed no differently than other scrubs and moisturizers I've used in the past that were based on other ingredients.

I think any beauty routine done diligently with average products will yield good results, I never expect a miracle from a certain ingredient.

The Adovia products are good; and better priced than other quality products, I used the Dead Sea mud a few times and the results were great every time. I actually felt great and my skin was supple. Definitely worth a look at www.deadseaproductsreview.net
