- What is magnesium oil and what does it do?
Magnesium oil is a concentrated solution of magnesium chloride and water that is applied directly to the skin. Although it is called an "oil," it does not contain any oils. The name comes from its smooth, slightly oily feel when applied. Topical magnesium oil provides a convenient way to supplement magnesium and is often used as part of a wellness routine to support muscle function, relaxation, and overall well-being. - How do you use magnesium oil?
Magnesium oil is typically sprayed or applied directly to clean skin and gently massaged into the desired area. Common application sites include the arms, legs, feet, shoulders, and back. Follow the product's suggested use directions for the recommended amount and frequency of application. Be sure to avoid contact with sensitive areas, broken skin, and the eyes. - How long should I leave magnesium oil on my skin?
Application instructions can vary by product, but many people choose to leave magnesium oil on the skin for at least 20 to 30 minutes before rinsing, if desired. Others prefer to leave it on longer or overnight. Always follow the product label directions for best results and discontinue use if irritation occurs. - What makes Dr. Barbara Hendel’s Magnesium Oil different from other magnesium products?
