A Treat from the Dead Sea: AHAVA Mineral Eye Cream

During my trip to Israel back in December, one of the highlights was definitely visiting the Dead Sea. For years, I'd heard that it's impossible to sink -- that one will just float, no matter how hard you try to reach the bottom. And until I experienced it for myself, I just didn't understand how this was possible. But once I waded in, I discovered that this was in fact the case! Truly unbelievable.

Also unbelievable ... the AHAVA store set back from the beach. I'd seen AHAVA products before, I'd tried them before -- but, let's be honest, there's nothing like buying them in ISRAEL. I restrained myself and only bought a couple products, among them the AHAVA Mineral Eye Cream.

If you're looking for an eye cream that packs a moisture-filled punch, this is most certainly it. It's rich without being heavy, fluffy but somehow still substantial, and so amazingly cooling to the skin -- and it absorbs instantly, leaving behind no greasy residue. I like to apply it at night, giving my tired eyes a pick-me-up that lasts all the way through the next day. An all-natural blend of botanical essences, selected vitamins and Dead Sea minerals don't hurt, either.
