Popular Q&A's for Topical Magnesium

1. How does transdermal magnesium work?

Transdermal magnesium works by allowing magnesium ions to pass directly through your skin into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. This absorption happens via skin pores (the same pathway as perspiration) or with the help of plant oils and extracts found in our creams and lotions.

2. What are the benefits of applying magnesium to my skin versus taking it orally?

Applying magnesium topically offers several advantages: it bypasses the digestive system, avoiding any digestive issues that can occur with oral supplements; it allows for higher absorption rates; it provides targeted relief to specific areas of pain or tension; and it's gentle enough for daily use without risk of taking too much, as your body only absorbs what it needs.

3. Will magnesium oil make my skin feel itchy or uncomfortable?

Some people may experience a slight tingling sensation when first using magnesium oil, especially if they're deficient or have sensitive skin. This sensation typically diminishes with regular use. For sensitive skin, we recommend starting with our gentler formulations like Magnesium Cream, which contains nourishing plant oils that buffer the magnesium and condition the skin simultaneously.

4. How often should I apply topical magnesium products?

For best results, apply topical magnesium daily. You can use Magnesium Cream as part of your morning and evening skincare routine, spray Magnesium Oil on areas of muscle tension as needed, and enjoy a relaxing Magnesium Bath 2-3 times per week. Consistent use will help maintain healthy magnesium levels and provide ongoing benefits for muscle function, stress management, and overall wellbeing.

5. Can I use different types of topical magnesium together?

Absolutely! Many customers achieve best results by combining different topical magnesium products. For example, you might use Magnesium Cream daily for skin conditioning and steady magnesium absorption, Magnesium Oil Spritz for targeted relief of muscle pain or tension, and Magnesium Bath Flakes for whole-body relaxation and detoxification.
