Hello All ,
Just dropped in to say the following -two years back left a job of 27 years – and started out on my own, [ had P since a teenager]
Last year my skin was awful - legs / back / trunk - it was tough going, I was applying skin moisturisers twice a day and very, very down.
Not sure why I started –[ I was trying all sorts of creams [ had been to specialists] steroids / beehive lotion you name it etc but always came back ] – but I think I read somewhere about the properties & minerals of the ocean –
so last August I started swimming in the sea – I live in the SE of Ireland . From the first swim I felt better, now 5 months on I try to swim for 5 minutes a day [ warm shower after with a cold rinse ] and my skin is 90% better ! [some days just a small cold shower if the sea is too rough]
Not sure if it’s the cold water reduces stress levels that is the reason – but I swear its addictive and healing.
Hope this helps anyone out there
