Ingredients: Magnesium Chloride, Reverse Osmosis Water, Frankincense or Geranium Essential Oil

Magnesium oil can be applied daily, but it’s always good to keep an eye on your body’s response to the amount of spray you apply. Tingling sensation on your skin after applying is a sign of fast uptake and low magnesium in your system. If this is uncomfortable, apply less until your body has a more balanced amount of magnesium.

Reasons Why Magnesium Oil Stings

There is a very strong link between low levels of magnesium in the body and the stinging caused by magnesium oil. In most cases, people who experience this burning sensation during or after applying magnesium spray believe that their skin is sensitive to magnesium oil. However, this is not always true. The reasons why magnesium oil can cause skin tingling can be any or the combination of the following:

• Severe deficiency
  Magnesium oil causing itchiness can be the sign of low levels of the mineral in your body. Therefore, the more severe the deficiency is, the more severe the sensation. Itchiness is often a side effect when magnesium deficient skin is first introduced to Magnesium Oil. This “urgency reaction” causes the blood vessels to open quickly, creating friction under the skin. This sensation and other side effects should subside when the product is used consistently and the body no longer has the “urgency reaction”.
• Too much magnesium at once
  Slapping a ton of magnesium oil on your skin can be tempting if you are deficient, however, it is not always the best idea. Suddenly ramping up the amount of magnesium oil you apply may contribute to the stinging sensation. Gradually get your body get used to the topical magnesium oil, especially if you are a first-time user.
• Vasodilatation
  Magnesium oil acts as the vasodilator that relaxes muscle cells and increases blood flow in capillaries. This may also cause a stinging sensation.
• Salt residue
  Technically speaking, magnesium oil is Magnesium Chloride Brine, i.e. salt water. Once the oil has been absorbed into the skin, it may leave behind a slight residue, which can trigger itchiness for individuals with sensitive skin.

*To help minimize stinging, try applying Really Good Whipped Tallow & Avocado Butter after a few minutes of allowing Magnesium Spray to sit on skin.
