Magnesium: a simple and successful ingredient in skin care

In the care of skinyou natural ingredients are being increasingly sought after. One of them is the magnesium, even if it seems unusual. It helps balance the skin and reduce inflammation.

According to studies, taking a magnesium bath improves the skin’s barrier function, increases hydration and reduces inflammation in atopic dry skin🇧🇷

To Refinery 29, Ido Magal, herbalist and founder of Lavido, explains: “The best way to absorb it is internally, not externally. When you use magnesium internally, it helps with nearly 300 different processes in the body.”

But even so, Magal agrees that, indirectly, magnesium can also have an effect on the skin: “Use magnesium topically in a very small amount and it will be absorbed through the body without going through the digestive system”, he says.

Patricia Wexler, a dermatologist in New York, further to Refinery, explains that “magnesium protects the skin from damage caused by free radicals and inflammation and is a necessary ingredient for enzymes that regulate cell repair.” The specialist also says that it can help with red, dry and itchy skin, “many people end up using it topically for the treatment of acne and acne rosacea”.

For experts, the best ways to acquire magnesium to use in skin care are through magnesium hydroxide (found in milk of magnesia), magnesium PCA – which acts as a humectant – and magnesium carbonate.
