Reddit mentions: The best bath salts

Hahah, sorry! It's taken a long time to get my routine to the point it's at, so don't think you need to jump into the deep end.

Ok, let me try to make this less overwhelming. Ignore everything I do for myself, and I'm just going to make a SIMPLE suggested routine for you. [I am NOT a doctor. Don't take this as medical advice. You should still probably see a doctor if you need more help controlling your issues.]

AM

*Cerave Hydrating Cleanser

• Cerave Moisturizing Cream [aka Cerave in the tub]
  
  
• Wait for the cream to soak in
  
  
• Sunscreen [I'll go into suggestions at the end.]
  
  
  PM
  
  
• Twice a week: colloidal oatmeal treatment, left on for 30-45 minutes. then rinsed off. [Can be applied to scalp too!]
  
  
• Cerave Hydrating Cleanser
  
  
• Cerave in the tub with added oil [details below]
  
  
  Hopefully that is not as intimidating to look at!
  
  The products listed are just suggestions. What works for me might not work for you! The structure is the main point, so you can substitute any products for something that works best for you. I suggest a non-foaming cleanser, since they tend to be less drying and you mentioned that sometimes your face feels dry and tight.
  
  You might find Cerave in the tub to be too heavy. If so, I like their PM facial moisturizer! [For hot gross days, or sometimes just in the morning so I can apply sunscreen faster.]
  
  I suggested adding an oil [a few drops] to your Cerave for the PM step because that's been AWESOME for me. I alternate between Argan oil and Squalane oil. Extra great when I have a flare and I'm really flaky, or in the winter when I'm super dry. Just try a few things and decide if that step is for you!
  
  I get my colloidal oatmeal on Amazon, and it lasts FOREVER. I never mix up the treatment until I need it, so it stores pretty well. I usually just mix some colloidal oatmeal into water until I have a very thick mixture that won't drip off my face. Sometimes I play around with adding a bit of squalane or argan oil, maybe a little honey [don't do this if you're allergic to bees!], or aloe juice instead of the water. Nothing complicated. It's very nice and soothing. Just rinse it off afterwards and then wash and moisturize normally.
  
  Ok, so sunscreen. This can be an epic quest depending on what you like/don't like in a sunscreen. My advice for the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer: either this or this probably. You want SPF 50 or better every day, all year. It's one of the best things you can do for your skin. The first once looks like a general purpose sunscreen and it comes in a larger tube. If you like it for your face, then go for it! The second one is specifically for face and is supposed to be thinner and absorb more quickly.
  
  I use the Biore sunscreen I mentioned, but it's not sold in the US, it's from Japan. I can get it on amazon, but the shipping can take FOREVER. It absorbs in FANTASTICALLY though. I love it. [It does have alcohol, so you might not like it as much as me. /r/AsianBeauty is full of sunscreen threads. Asian sunscreens for the face are miles ahead of sunscreen in the US.] My alternative suggestion is La Roche-Posay, which is available in the US at most Walgreens! It can be pricey, but I just keep an eye out for sales and coupons, so I can manage. This is my preferred body sunscreen, since the tube is much bigger than my Asian sunscreens tend to be. It absorbs better than most US sunscreens you'll find! This is very good for the face compared to most US sunscreens and is even better than the first one I listed.
  
  I hope this helps! Feel free to ask for clarification. :D [And honestly, I could probably mail you some samples/decants of stuff to try, if you don't think that's weird!]
  
  

To share my personal experience, I recently completed a 10 day fast; the early days were the easiest for me, and then my energy started to decline significantly on the 5th. Days 6 - 10 were a downward trend of lethargy, weakness, lighthead/dizziness, and constant nausea. I was disappointed that I couldn't stick it out for the full 21 days that I had intended, but going through that experience and feeling like it wasn't going to turn around was enough to tell me that it was time to stop. What helped was knowing that it wasn't derailed by the desire to eat, and it wasn't psychological (like a lack of willpower). It just happened that my body wasn't coping well and I didn't feel that it was in my best interest to endure for much longer. So for me, that was the best indicator of knowing when it's time to stop - and to that end, I recommend that people start off by doing shorter fasts first to see how their body adapts, particularly because the benefits of fasting tend to peak around the 72 hour mark.

To try to mitigate any potential issues or side effects from the fast, try supplementing electrolytes - particularly sodium. What works best for me is to either dissolve Celtic Sea Salt on my tongue, or take small sips of Pickle Juice. For potassium, NoSalt has a good amount per serving and can be mixed with water and taken as a shot. For magnesium, you can take it in pill form, a lotion/spray, or by soaking your feet in Epsom Salt. The latter two will be most beneficial on longer fasts. But supplementing sodium starting on the 2nd day of my own fasts has made me feel better (less brain fog, improved mood). The most beneficial amount, based on a recommendation provided on the Fasting Talk podcast, was discussed here.

HTH!

Hey. Just going to chime in a bit too. My fiance has had eczema for probably 20 years or so now and breakouts happen every now and then since becoming paleo and being more strict on what he eats and what he puts on his body.. hopefully some things that we have done will help you out a bit! Just a few months ago he got a bad outbreak again, which hasn't been the worst I've seen but it was still bad. Very red, flaky, skin, almost like a sunburn. He felt really ill and constantly had the chills and little appetite. There were some obvious things that attributed to it, such as drinking too much (yes, i know its not paleo) and drinking too much coffee and not enough water, so he was becoming very dehydrated on a consistent basis. He went to see a naturalopathic doctor who gave him a list of things to do. one was of course to cut back on caffeine and drink plenty of water, watch out for foods high in sulfur like eggs, and to take a epsom salt bath every day, and if you can, check out redmond dead sea salts. they are better than epsom and have been known to help clear up eczema.

another thing you can try, which has really helped my SO, was checking out the paleo auto immune diet. basically just like paleo, except you cut out night shade vegetables, no spices or pepper, eggs, onions ( i think) etc, etc, i know there are a lot of good sites on that info. we also started incorporating more and more fermented veggies in our diets. check out raw sauerkraut, veggie delight (available at whole foods or im sure you can find at another natural food type store) so that you are getting tons and tons of probiotics! I can't think of anything else right now but I believe doing all this will really help you, but it takes time and you might still have break outs or uncomfortable days but dont quit cause it won't last long! his skin still breaks out in certain spots and wheeps but its gone by the next day. also check out bone broth, super easy to make and even tastier to drink or add to soups. marrow bones are easier to find now a days and you can roast them before and eat out the marrow which tastes like heaven. i hope you find some good answers and good luck!


EDIT**- here is the vegi-delite info (i spelt it wrong earlier)
http://www.rejuvenative.com/products/Vegi-Delite.html

its pricey but very delicious and worth the price IMO.

http://www.amazon.com/Minera-Dead-Grain-Certified-Natural/dp/B004GINGOY

link for dead sea salts...

There's a pretty easy way to avoid this:

1. Take a warm bath with some bath salts. After about 10 minutes of soaking or so, exfoliate your skin, try this: (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001POYT16/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1) That's just an example, you can get some epsom salt (same stuff) at Walmart for half the price.
   
   
2. Exfoliating the skin first prevents ingrown hairs. Super important. The first time I did this, I did not know how to shave my body properly and I ended up being way too vigorous and getting lots of nasty razor bumps. To exfoliate I used:
   
   
3. Loofah or Pouf (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001CTQMIC/ref=oh_details_o02_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) again check Walmart, it'll be cheaper. The main idea here is that you want to exfoliate dead skin and loosen up any hairs that are growing.
   
   
4. St. Ives Exfoliating Body Wash (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004JLGC12/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1) This is a really great natural exfoliant that you can put on the loofah/poof while you scrub
   
   
5. After exfoliation, you shave. I shave against the grain with a good Gillette razor using this shaving cream: Cremo Cream (http://www.amazon.com/Cremo-Astonishingly-Superior-Shaving-Creams/dp/B003FVWRCK/ref=pd_sbs_hpc_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=191FPDNMEKJB5PRZXF94) Which does a really tremendous job. You only need to spread a little bit of it around and it helps to give a really great shave without any irritation (great for both men and women). Plus it last a long time.
   
   
6. Moisturize with your favorite skincare lotion, brand doesn't really matter. You just want to keep that area moist and healthy.
   
   
7. LAST STEP. Most important, DO NOT DO THIS THE SAME DAY YOU SHAVE. DO IT EITHER A COUPLE DAYS BEFORE OR AFTER. Use an acid-based lotion like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000TTPZQ6/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 or http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002D48QRK/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
   The basic idea here is that through chemical exfoliation they'll smooth the red bumps and give you a very smooth look.
   
   
   This is my skincare routine and I don't get any of those ingrown hairs or razor bumps. I used too, though. That's why I do this.

Hello! Welcome to RAOA :D

Oooh soaps! That's awesome. Do you have a website or anything where you sell your soaps? I've seen Dead sea mud in soap, but never thought about how someone who wants to make it would obtain some >_> maybe this? or here's some Pink Himalayan Salt.

This book and this seem interesting.

I thought this was funny :3 and here's a badass cat!

I watched this video a long time ago and it's my favorite (:

Thanks for the awesome contest :D

A great book, I highly recommend this:
https://www.amazon.com/Fourth-Trimester-Postpartum-Balancing-Restoring/dp/1611804000


Some products I liked

Earth Mama Organic Perineal Balm- it’s very healing. I really liked this product.

Better than your regular perineal squirt bottle although those are good too. Don’t forget to keep one in your diaper bag in the early weeks. You can use warm water but alcohol free witch hazel is good.
https://www.amazon.com/FridaBaby-006-Fridababy-Fridet-MomWasher/dp/B00VO65XB0

You’re probably going to want Dermaplast (the blue can) and Tucks Witch Hazel pads to place along your pads. Cooling and soothing.


Preferred these to pads:
https://www.amazon.com/Always-Discreet-Incontinence-Postpartum-Disposable/dp/B074SWPPWJ

A sitz bath and something nice to soak your bits in. :) https://www.amazon.com/Sitz-Bath-Salt-Postpartum-Hemorrhoid/dp/B07HY7R9J4 There are lots of different good soaking products out there.

A belly band of some kind. I called mine the “mommy swaddle”. :)

I mean, if you're willing to spend some money on bath bombs then there are lots of great options at Lush! It's not AB but they are a vegan company and I cannot friggin reccomend their bath bombs and bubble bars enough. The Blue Skies bubble bar is amazing if you're a hippie, the Comforter is fruity and creamy and 1/4 of the bar is enough for a whole bath. You also might have luck using essential oils like Lavender, Rosemary, Mint and Rose. A few drops with some epsom salts is very relaxing and a little bit goes a long way.

Roman bath salts are also popular on this sub from what I've heard, but I do not have experience with them.

I have tried a few, and I can’t really say that results vary between brands, however my favorite is this one. I like it mainly because it’s very raw. I feel like that’s the best way to get the full effects. However I am not an expert on this.

19 lbs Raw DEAD SEA SALT minimal cleaned, still Contains all dead sea minerals Including Dead sea Mud, Fine Medium Grain Large resealable Bulk pack, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07LGGPXYJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_uKx7CbC5QVWTJ

Whole Foods sells one as well if you’re looking for a quick local purchase. I believe it’s called the Dead Sea salt company. It’s a little more expensive, but it doesn’t leave the bath tub quite as “muddy” as the first one.

I usually use 1.5-2 cups per bath. And 1/4 cup of coconut oil. I also add some essential oil like tea tree or frankesense for a little extra calming effect.

With P you will need to soak for no less than 20-30 minutes to loosen up your dead skin. Then I usually use a hand towel to scrub it all off once it’s nice and soft.

Doing this dramatically reduces the daily flaking that can be somewhat annoying if you’re ocd like me and don’t like shedding everywhere you go.

Also keep in mind that after a warm bath your pores are nice and open and it’s an ideal time to moisturize. It seems like you have found moisturizers you like, so stick to that. But another good one is raw shea butter. Try to avoid any and all lotions with any form of alcohol.

Hope this helps.

Hi, Luckily, I live in a state where MJ is legal. I found this bath salt which has cannabis in it. It's sold on Amazon. It's pricy, bug works!!!
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A6SW9XC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_JBsqyb99ATGQ7

I like biofreeze gel...it numbs nerve endings with menthol.
I use tanning bed in the Bc the heat feels amazing and helps the pain, but only do a couple months in the year.This week I started hot yoga. The heat works like the tanning bed would, while I get exercise and stretching in. The mediation helps, too. I have only been doing it for 4 days and can tell difference in my mood, energy and pain level!

I currently am using cymbalta and have tried most prescriptions for fibromyalgia. I also take weekly vitamin B12 injections.

Good luck!

Awesome, glad I’m not the only one.

Epsom Salt:

365 Everyday Value, Epsom Salt, 4 Pound https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074MH1W96/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_JlRADbTSV6WZ4

I’m Considering switching to this to replace NoSalt based on another comment in this thread:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ENS39XK/

The reason I use Redmonds real salt is that it had less radioactive trace elements then Himalayan Salt (which is all sourced from a single mine in Pakistan that didnt originally mine salt) and no microplastics like you find in regular Sea Salt. Plus it has a better potassium profile than Himalayan. They source it from ancient sea bed in Utah. Looks pink just like Himalayan. Learned all this from the book: The Salt Fix Dr Nic.

Good luck!

My mom really deserves a gift this year.

Her twin sister died a month ago after battling cancer for 30 years. It was sudden and unexpected; we all thought Aunt Shelley would live to a good old age, since she'd lived so long already. My mother's family could not be with her for the funeral or mourning. They are getting old and live an ocean away, and the trip would have been too much for any of them.

And last week, my mother had to go to the hospital herself because she had terrible stomach pain. She was admitted to the same floor where my aunt died (with my mother by her side). Thankfully she was not in the same room. The doctors told her she has a hernia and will have to have surgery. My mom recovers really slowly from surgery, so this will mean that she misses the rest of the school year in recovery (she is a teacher).

I am an ocean away from her like the rest of her family, but I wish I could be with her this mother's day to give her some joy. Maybe a present is an okay substitute. My friend is going to visit my parents soon and I can give her a present to take with her and deliver to my mom.

Here is what I want to give her so she can feel good. She loves baths.

Ok, so first off, stop digging at your feet with an exact-o knife. That's like using a chainsaw to cut drywall.

If you need to physically remove calluses and dead skin, get the right tool for the job: a pumice stone and/or callus rasp/callus shaver. Use these carefully, especially around areas where you've got cuts.

To help the dry parts of your feet heal, moisturize! Silicone/gel socks feel weird (it's like walking on rubber duckies) and make my feet sweaty, but they've done more to soften gnarly calluses than anything else I've ever tried, especially when used regularly and for several hours at a time. (If you aren't afraid of girly colors, there are plenty of other/cheaper options for these on Amazon.) When you aren't wearing the socks, use a lotion or cream like Working Feet or Cerave Foot Cream. Also, ALWAYS wear socks (just like normal cotton socks) when you aren't wearing the silicon socks.

You can also do a foot soak, either with just water, or water plus some bath salts or foot soak stuff. Silicon scar sheets or hydrocolloid bandages might also help with some of the deeper/open cuts you have.

Combine those for several weeks, probably in the order of foot soak, callus shave, moisturize + socks, then more moisturizer after removing, and I'd think you'd see a lot of improvement.

The babyfoot thing is also a good idea for you, but I wouldn't recommend using that until all of your cuts/open wounds have healed. I think the peels are basically acid, and that's probably very painful if you use it on open cuts.

If all of that fails, go see a doctor or podiatrist. Your feet are super important, and if the above interventions aren't helping, I think that's a strong sign your feet need some professional help to get them healed up.

Ohhhh my GAD BATH SALTS FOR DAYZZZZZZ!! Thank you thank you thank you /u/alisonflies !!!! :)


Edit: Product list time!:
The box on the left is the Tabino Yado Hot Springs ''Milky'' Bath Salts Assortment Pack and the canister on the left is the Bath Roman Yakusen Japanese Cypress (Hinoki). Both are very milky and very soothing. The Hinoki one smells quite woodsy and outdoorsy (in a REALLY good way) and I used the light green package (there's four different onsens that the salts are "from") which had a floral woodsy smell to it.

I've struggled with depression and anxiety for the last 5ever so I didn't take care of myself properly besides showering and washing myself, anything more than the basics was a struggle tbh.

I slowly started getting into /r/asianbeauty because the multiple steps were a way to treat myself nicely and relax after all the mental torture I put myself through on a daily basis. I kind of zone out while I'm rubbing different layers into my face and then wake up the next morning feeling good about my skin looking flawless so the day at least starts on a good note.

A lot of skin related stuff is trial and error though too, depending on your skin type. So don't get discouraged if you start this and have crazy skin reactions. I went through two years of hell because my skin is dumber than a box of rocks and doesn't understand that I was just TRYING to help it. Also tbf I went crazy and went from using nothing to 12 different things on my face. But still. >_>

Sheet masks are fun and easy. They're really cheap, and the effects last like a day. Peel the paper off and slap it on your face. Pro tip, if it's hot where you live put them in the fridge for a few minutes and it feels lovely. Alternatively if it's cold, sit on one for a few minutes and it warms up.

Bath salts are as well if you have a bath tub. Those are my favorite. The smell with those are weird ftr. It smells very much like an old woman in the tin, however once it's in the water it smells very herbal and clean. They also last forever, you just use the lid to measure. I have a bath once or twice a week on especially hard days and they're so relaxing. That brand in general has nice salts if the smell puts you off. (If you're sensitive to smells, I do not recommend the milk protein one. It smells like vomit to me and it's over powering.)

I obvs don't know your story, but I think in general it's hard to get into things even if you don't have mental roadblocks. But once you start, it's totally worth it because it makes you feel good about yourself and it's something to look forward to at the end of the day.

Omg I love Tabino yado. It moisturizes my skin and it doesn't stain my tub. It smells sooo good too except for one of them that smelled like cotton candy...didn't like that one too much haha. [Here] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000V2EXL4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) is the amazon link for everyone who is curious.

I got these a while ago, but I really like the white ones best. I'm going to try this one once I make it through my current jar of lavender bath salts.

My boyfriend and I are big Arrested Development fans so this year we're probably dressing up as George Michael and Maeby in banana stand outfits. If I could have my way, he would dress up as Tobias and blue himself and I would dress up as Lindsay and wear a slut shirt and carry around a bottle of vodka. Or make ham water. My dream costume would be the perfect cosplay version of Daenerys Targaryen. That would require a lot of money and work.

I would love this! Thanks for the contest and happy birthday!

I was once a depressed teenager who hated bathing so I'll give it a try!

INOFACE makes a Jelly Body Wash that could be fun. I'm waiting on mine in the mail right now, it's basically the same as LUSH's Shower Jellies, and they have Peppermint or Milk. (I found these on memebox)


If he can fit into a bath tub, something like this might be fun to recreate a sort of Onsen inspired experience. I'd recommend gifting these in tandem with a bath tray and maybe a bamboo plant or other small greenery to give a more 'Japanese Spa' atmosphere.

I hope this helps :)

Hi there!

I just wanted to let you know that Automod has removed your comment because it contains an Amazon referral link, which we don't allow in the sub.

Could you please edit the URL so that everything from (and including) "tag=" is removed? That way, the product page will still be visible - but no one can make a profit from the link.

Alternatively, copy this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004GINGOY

If you've done that, please reply to this message so I can approve your comment. Thank you!

I bought my bff (who has stressful work days) a box of My Scheming Provence lavendar masks and a box of Kracie Tabino Yado Hot Springs milky bath salts. I hope she likes them. :)

Cool. I love it when easy answers solve problems.

I make a mixture of 3 parts baking soda and 5 parts food-grade epsom salt (https://www.amazon.com/Pure-Organic-Ingredients-Magnesium-All-Natural/dp/B075MV4F58/ref=sr_1_2_sspa) , then add 1/4 teaspoon of that mixture to a gallon of our well water. Then I use that as my Keurig water. If I'm going through a lazy phase, I'll buy the Walmart "drinking water" (not distilled) and use that without adding anything, but the water I mix up myself seems to work and taste better.

Like I said, I'm not 100% sure. The only other thing that I've changed was using these bath salts, so it could be that, but the difference is really amazing.

You're welcome!

Here's a link to a good salt bath for eczema: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004GINGOY/

Not OP but yes it is! I've used these before and they're lovely!

Oh, I cannot fall asleep while watching the telly! A very dark room, a fan on low, and white noise usually does the trick for me. If I'm having an especially stressful day, I will take a mustard bath. It sounds repulsive but it's quite lovely.

soak in the tub with warm/hot water with nice Japanese bath salt (it doesn't bubble but it claims to relax. I'm inlove with this ) and sheetmasking at the same time

edited to fix link

The old one says the smell is "Fresh bouquet" and the new one is "A gentle herbal scent".

Looking up the official product page and customer reviews in amazon.co.jp confirms what you already knew: The product is renewed, a lot of people don't like the new smell and want the old one back.

Had terrible tears.. gifts that will save her time so she can rest and focus on doctoring up her injuries. The focus is always on the baby but when you have bad post birth injuries you need lots of private bathroom time to have sitz baths and apply witch hazel and tucks pads. I always suggest food and booze.

Is she nursing?

• lactation energy bites (message me for recipe)
  
  General:
  
• alcohol of choice (Prosecco, craft beer, nice red wine)
  
• pre-made food (lasagna, meat and cheese platter, fruit or veggie tray, casserole, a pizza, whatever she likes)
  
• some nice post birth healing Epsom salts like these

Muddy Blue Bath Salts.

They smell like MAGIC, make the water a nice opaque blue (for whatever reason I don't like seeing myself sitting in a clear puddle), it has nice ingredients for when you're sore, and it actually seemed to work better for me than Epsom salts. It's expensive(ish) but you get an actual like.. oilcan of the stuff and only use a small amount at a time.

i use a very similar recipe. I use .25gm baking soda and .74gm of epsom salt. There should not be any sort of salty flavor in the water. If you taste the water by itself it should taste pretty close to your average filtered water. What kind of epsom salt are you using? I am using this brand for the epsom salt

and poland springs distilled water.

Mustard soaks are well known for muscle relaxations

like this one is highly regarded and is/was sold on Goop.

Also plenty of DIY recipes on the internets.

I have no idea what they are, but these ones. I like that it's an assortment because you can try different scents.

If it's available to you, try taking a bath. I like to use these Japanese bath salts. They're really affordable (comes out to less than a dollar per bath) and they leave me smelling so good afterwards.

Bath Roman Yakusen Japanese Bath Salts on Amazon. They will warm your entire body for about 8 hours! I had completely forgotten about being cold my last long fast, but it was winter then. I'm feeling cold now, too, when I'm usually a freakin' oven.

Personally I've been eyeing these, but Amazon has plenty of others, both with and without prime shipping.

I got them all on Amazon.

This stuff is magical AF. This is the ONLY thing that has killed my acne and made my skin look better than ever. I also put it in baths, diffuse it into my air, body scrubs, everything. Obviously not the same as salt caves, but damn will it make a good difference! Salt is just very cleansing.

You can always buy those "Onsen no moto" bath salts to try to relive some Onsen moments at home.

Here's an example:

It's one of the things I miss most about Japan and make sure that I do at least one onsen trip every time I go there.

So I know what you mean!

Ill start:

equipment - i have a hidrex psp1000

treatment - i did 30-60 minutes at 30V on 100% pulse on my feet for 2 weeks almost every day to start . After those 2 weeks my feet were MUCH dryer, not completely dry but they are mostly dry. I now do 30-60 minutes at 30V 1-3 times a week whenever im playing games on my computer. I plan to do my hands soon but its much more difficult for me due to boredom and pain.

water - I used regular tap water with Epsom Salt added, i just eyeballed the epsom salt but i added it to every batch because we have a reverse osmosis machine that makes the water too soft to be used for iontophoresis

The exact epsom salt i use

Hidrex PSP1000

I fill up my water trays till it just barely covers the bottoms of my feet, unfortunately that means the top of my feet still sweat however right now its too painful to fill it to the tops of my feet and im satisfied with the bottoms of my feet being dry for now, i can even wear sandels!
