Episode Notes

What if there was a way to get magnesium into your body while taking care of your skin? It’s actually possible with the help of transdermal magnesium. The problem? Those commercial sprays can really sting, and they leave one heck of a mess behind. Luckily, experts say that there’s an easier solution, and that’s by using natural, plant-based skincare products that include magnesium as a key ingredient!

Magnesium is an essential mineral for human health, and it is responsible for over 300 processes in the body. It is most well-known for its ability to regulate blood pressure, blood glucose levels, and muscle and nerve function, as well as its role in protein, bone, and DNA synthesis; it is also believed to improve sleep quality and provide nutrients to the soft tissues, including the skin.

However, it is estimated that 45% of Americans do not obtain the recommended amount of magnesium from diet alone, which can lead to deficiencies if not addressed.

The most common way to improve your magnesium levels is through supplementation. Here’s the thing: commercial supplements may be difficult for the body to absorb. They may also cause gastrointestinal discomfort, which kind of defeats the purpose - you want to take magnesium to feel better, not worse!

One method that experts recommend is transdermal magnesium, which is applied topically. There’s a catch here, too: as mentioned previously, most magnesium sprays tend to irritate the skin or leave a sticky residue.

The solution? Experts say it may be an actual solution - that is to say, natural skincare lotions enhanced with magnesium!

But with so many skincare products out there, what do you look for? First of all, you can’t go wrong with Ayurvedic-inspired skincare solutions, like the ones OM Botanical has developed. For example, the key ingredient of their Magnesium Body Lotion is magnesium chloride sourced from the Dead Sea; this compound is highly absorbable and will bypass the digestive system to enter the bloodstream when used topically, rapidly reducing inflammation and pain without gastrointestinal side effects.

When you combine magnesium chloride with other natural ingredients, like, say, mango butter, which is rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins A and C, or aspen bark, a natural source of salicylates, you get a killer combo of deep hydration and exfoliation! If these are further blended with ingredients like shea butter and comfrey, the result is a gentle, antimicrobial lotion that can be applied daily.

By the way, magnesium skincare products can help with issues other than dry skin. Experts say that you can apply them to sore areas on your body to reduce pain. If you want to improve your sleep quality, try massaging some into your feet, legs, or stomach before bed. You’ll love the results!
