Ocean Water

Hi everyone,

I recently went on a trip to Long Island, and went swimming in the Atlantic... it wasn't long before I noticed that my lips were tingling in a way that I wasn't all that familiar with, and I was getting stinging sensation in the corners of my lips.

I could only help but to feel good about that, because when I put something on my lips and it stings, at least I know there is some kind of reaction going on.

Anyway, when I got back to the house we were staying at, I checked out my lips, and noticed that the fordyce spots on them had been practically wiped out, and some were clearly exfoliating(kinda like the head of a small pimple after it's popped). The next day they were basically non-existent.

The skin around the triangle of the upper lip was a bit irritated(reddish), but not long after started becoming more of a soft pink.

I finally thought I had some kind of break-through, but I didn't want to post it here in case nothing really changed.
Well, it's been about 4 weeks, and the fordyce spots seem to all be back, pretty much, and my lips are again back to their peeling cycle(in which they barely grow any skin, and wipe away effortlessly).

If I remember correctly, Daniel Miller moved to Florida or some place and mentioned going to the beach a lot, being in the sun, etc.. and is no longer plagued by EC; and with my recent experience, I don't think it's a coincidence.

I ordered this H2ocean stuff that I got today, and it's only ingredients are Sea Salt and purified water, which isn't exactly what I would call "ocean water". I'm having a reaction, but it's not as intense.

I'm thinking I may order some mix for someone who wants to create a salt water fish tank or something, and try that.

Has anyone experienced something like this?
Do you have any thoughts?
Do you know something about the makeup of ocean water that I could do at home?
