These charms were believed to possess magical properties that could keep away malevolent entities and ensure the well-being of the wearer.
Durante el verano, por la exposición continua al agua del mar o al sol, la piel de algunas zonas de mi cuerpo como los pies, los codos o las rodillas tienden a resecarse, así que mi idea era aplicar la crema en estas áreas y ver si sus resultados eran tan buenos como se decía. La mayoría de las veces la utilicé como una especie de aftersun después de los días de playa. En otros, aprovechaba a usarla por la noche, donde notaba la piel más seca.
Pues bien, ahora este bálsamo inspirado en una fórmula ancestral egipcia, es ahora una de las nuevas obsesiones de las farmacéuticas y de sus clientas.

Los 15 usos (según las farmacéuticas) de la crema mágica que tanto se busca en Google
Cuando una crema con altas dosis de popularidad en internet da el salto a las farmacias, algo pasa. Y habiéndonos declarado devotas tanto de las cremas con usos reinventados por mandato popular como de los cosméticos de farmacia, era justo y necesario hablar de esta crema. Nos referimos a Egyptian Magic, el famoso bálsamo multiusos que atesoró sus pilares de la fama en 2015, momento desde el cual la marca vende cantidades ingentes de este bálsamo y ha roto stock mundial en varias ocasiones en muchas de las tiendas en la que se vende.

Tal y como nos cuenta Marta Masi, Egyptian Magic –el bálsamo que usan, entre otras, Kate Bosworth y Brooke Shields– está causando furor en su farmacia desde que lo vende. “Egyptian Magic es el nombre que todo el mundo está buscando tanto en internet como en los centros de belleza de todo el mundo. De hecho, ha tenido más búsquedas que el nuevo iPhone", apunta la farmacéutica. Antes de entrar en detalles de la crema, preguntamos a Masi por los criterios que sigue a la hora de escoger las cremas que vende en su farmacia. 1) Calidad: "Compensa más una crema que cumpla con sus funciones, guste, se recomiende, mantenga la fidelidad del cliente, a una que no convenza o se hable mal de ella", apunta. 2) Referencia: "Las recomendaciones de varias fuentes y grupos de personas distintas sobre el producto es esencial", apunta la experta. 3) Innovación. “A la gente le gusta lo viral. Todo lo que sea nuevo y diferente, atrae".
Volviendo a Egyptian Magic, Masi nos cuenta que la descubrió gracias a otras compañeras de profesión –Meritxell Martí Castanyer y Marta Munar le hablaron largo y tendido de este bálsamo mágico– y que desde que le vende en su farmacia, además de dispararse sus ventas, ha habido clientas que se han alegrado mucho. “No olvido la frase de una clienta que me dijo: ‘Me has facilitado la vida”, nos cuenta Masi.
