We’re so excited that you’ve chosen our highly concentrated Magnesium Oil Spray to support your health and well-being. We want to make sure you’re getting the most out of this incredible product. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the best way to use your magnesium oil, what to expect when you first start, and how to incorporate it into your daily routine.
Why Magnesium Matters:
Magnesium plays a critical role in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, from muscle and nerve function to maintaining a steady heart rate and supporting a healthy immune system. Unfortunately, many of us are deficient in this essential mineral due to modern diets and lifestyles. That’s where topical magnesium comes in—it’s an effective and natural way to boost your magnesium levels, bypassing the digestive system for quicker absorption.
What to Expect When You First Start:
Our magnesium oil is highly concentrated, delivering approx. 75mg of elemental magnesium per 1ml (4-6 sprays = 1ml). If you're new to using magnesium oil, you may experience a slight itch or tingle when applying it to your skin. Don’t worry, this is totally normal and usually subsides with regular use. Itching and tingling is usually a sign that your body’s cells are a low on magnesium.
Why does it tingle or itch?
This sensation happens because magnesium draws water to the skin’s surface, which can cause slight irritation if your skin or body is magnesium-deficient. But don’t worry—it’s temporary and will subside as your cellular levels increase.
How to Avoid the Itch & Tingle
If you’re experiencing this sensation, we recommend starting slow. One of the best ways to ease into using magnesium oil is by applying it to the soles of your feet. The skin on your feet is less sensitive, making it a great place to build up your magnesium levels without the tingling sensation being too strong.
Tip: Apply 2-3 sprays to the soles of your feet before bed or after a shower, when your pores are open for better absorption. This is also a great way to wind down after a long day.
As your magnesium levels increase over time, this itch or tingle will naturally lessen or disappear altogether, allowing you to use it on other areas of your body more comfortably.
Suitable for All Ages
One of the best things about our magnesium oil spray is that it’s suitable for all ages! Whether it’s for busy parents needing a quick recovery after a workout, active children who need to wind down before bed, or grandparents dealing with muscle soreness, everyone in the family can benefit. However, we always recommend starting low and slow. Start with a small amount for kids or sensitive individuals and applying it to the feet or lower legs.
Where to Use Magnesium Oil Once the Tingle Has Subsided
Once your body has adjusted to the magnesium, you can start applying it to other areas. Some of the best places to use it include:
- Legs and calves: Great for muscle recovery after exercise or a long day on your feet. Can also help with restless legs.
- Arms and shoulders: Ideal for easing tension and promoting relaxation.
- Back of neck: To relieve tension and ease headaches.
- Lower back: For targeted relief after physical activity or stress.
- Abdomen: Applying magnesium here may support relaxation and provide comfort during physical or hormonal changes..
Many of us start using magnesium for one reason and end up finding other incredible benefits with regular use.
A Few Extra Tips to Maximize Results
- Consistency is key. Regular use will help maintain optimal magnesium levels in your body. We recommend daily application for the best results.
- Let it absorb. After spraying, allow the oil to fully absorb, this should only be a matter of minutes. This will ensure you’re absorbing the maximum amount of magnesium. You can also gently massage.
- Hydrate! Magnesium works even better when your body is well-hydrated, so make sure you’re drinking enough water throughout the day.
