Magnesium is an essential macro-mineral our body needs for many biochemical processes. It helps us digest food, prevents migraines, eases menstrual cramps and is vital for proper muscle functioning. It is also a mineral that many of us are lacking.

Magnesium Skin Benefits 

Magnesium also has incredible health advantages which impact skin. This pure mineral is a vital component in skincare; it helps replenish skin with other essential minerals, while moisturizing and soothing skin leaving you glowing.

“Magnesium oil has absorption properties that make it a powerful humectant to keep skin hydrated and supple.” – Dr. Dendy Engelman

In other studies, magnesium was shown to break down oils and fats, which could explain its ability to help minimize oily skin. 

Magnesium Deficiency On Skin

Having low levels of magnesium can result in a deficiency in essential fatty acids that support the skin. These acids play an important role in keeping skin moisturized and maintaining elasticity. 

Without fatty acids, the skin dries out faster and can lose its toned appearance, and wrinkles often start to appear early. Magnesium helps the skin maintain healthy levels of these fatty acids by regulating the production of sebum, an oil that helps to hydrate your skin.
