Nutrients that you apply to the skin are absorbed into the bloodstream. Because of that, you shouldn’t put anything on your skin that you don’t want in your blood. Oils rich in magnesium have amazing effects on the human body. That’s why we apply it to the skin.
What Is Magnesium Oil?
It’s not actually oil. It is greasy as oil, but it’s actually magnesium chloride crystals dissolved in water. You can buy it but it’s lot cheaper if you make it yourself.
Because it’s applied to the skin, the body will only absorb as much magnesium as it needs. It is a lot better than taking magnesium pills because it can start piling up in your body.
Benefits Of Magnesium Oil

How To Apply It
If you’re applying this oil for the first time, be prepared for some tingling sensation. It lessens over time because your body is replenishing its magnesium levels. It can be somewhat uncomfortable, but it is certainly worth it.
If you have sensitive, irritated or wounded skin, tingling feeling is going to be more intense. Try applying to a smaller skin surface, and move up from there. You’ll notice thin whitish layer which stays on the skin after magnesium dries out. You can wash it off, but you have to wait for at least half an hour.
