The claim: Ahava Essential Dead Sea Treatment Butter Salt gently exfoliates dead cells, then transforms into a light, pampering lotion while you bathe.
The cost: $24 for 12.3 ounces at Sears and www.ahavaus.com
The verdict: I'm a big fan of exfoliating potions. But as my pocketbook has shrunk, so has my ability to buy my favorite, so I've been searching for a replacement. Ahava's Uplifting Butter Salt is about $6 less than my fave, a salt scrub floating in oil. The Ahava doesn't make me feel as moisturized at first. It's also easier to use in the shower than the bath. Dish the creamy butter salt out and spread on arms and legs, then rinse. Ingredients include coconut oil and Dead Sea salts, but no actual butter (not that I thought it would). Hours later skin is still soft to the touch, even without adding a second layer of body lotion. Because it's a dense cream, it's impossible to use too much of the butter salt, and the jar I've been dipping from shows barely a dent despite daily use for the last month.
