One of the lovely things about magnesium is that it can also be absorbed through the skin.
This means you can combine relaxation with replenishment – ideal if you struggle with digestion or want a calming evening ritual.
Ways to top up through the skin
Epsom Salt Baths
Epsom salts are magnesium sulfate. Add 1–2 cups to a warm bath, soak for 20 minutes, and let your muscles (and mind) relax.
Magnesium Flakes
These contain magnesium chloride, which is absorbed more easily than magnesium sulfate and tends to have longer-lasting effects.
Magnesium Sprays & Lotions
Convenient and fast-absorbing, these can be applied directly to sore muscles, cramping legs, or even the abdomen before bed.
Top Tip: Try a magnesium bath in the evening, followed by a lotion or spray before bed.
Many people notice they fall asleep faster and wake up feeling more rested.
