Extra lovely ingredient add-ons: - Magnesium salts, like Epsom salts and magnesium flakes, can offer several benefits for the skin. These include improved skin hydration, reduced inflammation, and potential relief from skin conditions like eczema. Soaking in a magnesium-rich bath may also help exfoliate dead skin cells, soften rough skin, and promote relaxation, which can indirectly benefit skin health by reducing stress-related inflammation. Here's a more detailed look at the benefits: 1. Improved Skin Hydration and Barrier Function: Magnesium salts, particularly when used in baths, can help enhance skin hydration and improve the skin's barrier function, making it more resistant to external irritants. A study showed that bathing in a magnesium-rich Dead Sea salt solution improved skin barrier function and reduced inflammation in atopic dry skin according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) | (.gov). 2. Reduced Inflammation: Magnesium can help reduce skin inflammation, potentially providing relief from redness, itching, and other inflammatory skin conditions. Some users report that Epsom salt baths help soothe skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. Magnesium may also help reduce inflammation related to muscle soreness and tension, which can indirectly impact skin health by reducing stress-related inflammation. 3. Exfoliation and Softening: Magnesium salts can be used as a gentle exfoliant to remove dead skin cells and soften rough patches, particularly on the feet and other areas prone to dryness. 4. Potential Relief from Skin Conditions: While more research is needed, some anecdotal evidence suggests that magnesium salts can help with various skin conditions, including eczema, psoriasis, and acne. 5. Stress Reduction and Sleep Improvement: Magnesium plays a role in regulating neurotransmitters that promote relaxation and sleep. Getting enough sleep is crucial for healthy skin, as sleep deprivation can lead to increased cortisol levels and inflammation. By promoting relaxation and better sleep, magnesium can indirectly contribute to improved skin health. 6. Absorption Through Skin: While the extent of magnesium absorption through the skin is still being studied, some research suggests that it can be absorbed effectively, particularly magnesium chloride. Magnesium chloride flakes are often considered more easily absorbed than Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate).
