Why do I feel a stinging or itching sensation?
If your body’s magnesium levels are low and you apply magnesium directly onto your skin, it may sometimes sting or tingle a little. This is not an allergic reaction — magnesium is found naturally in the body and is vital to good health. Your body is simply building a tolerance to magnesium. Over time and with gradual use, this sensation usually decreases.
Any helpful tips for applying Melt Pain Away Magnesium Body Butter?
- The Asutra Magnesium Body Butter can be applied anywhere you’d use lotion. Most customers apply it to their arms, shoulders, back, legs (for restless legs/cramps), feet, and stomach.
- To get the maximum benefits, make sure your skin is clean; this will help the magnesium absorb better and faster.
- Try applying the lotion after a shower when your skin is clean and warm, and your pores are more open.
Why is topical magnesium better than magnesium pills?
Topical magnesium is ideal because it is more rapidly absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream, elevating low or depleted levels of magnesium much more quickly into your body than pills or supplements.
