Prof. Graham Pierce, Ph.D.Magnesium oil improves the appearance of your skin through several biological processes. This mineral solution has a wonderful healing effect on your skin barrier, significantly reducing any inflammation. It also affects healing on a small scale. Any small abrasion or cut heals much faster. My rough elbow has become quite smooth through regular use. Within weeks of proper application, you will notice that your skin looks quite healthy.
Barrier Function
- Increases ceramide production by 20%
- Reduces transepidermal water loss significantly
- Improves skin elasticity measurements
- Apply after cleansing before moisturizers
Inflammation Control
- Lowers inflammatory cytokines like IL-6
- Reduces redness in rosacea-prone skin
- Calms eczema flare-up severity
- Use diluted solutions for sensitive areas
Healing Acceleration
- Stimulates fibroblast collagen production
- Cuts minor wound healing time by 30%
- Reduces acne scarring visibility
- Apply 2-3 times daily on affected zones
Proper Use of Magnesium Oil for Facial Applications. Dilute commercial solutions 1 to 3 with distilled water. Use a cotton pad to apply in a precise manner. Avoid areas around the eyes altogether. I apply it to the forehead and on the cheeks after toning. Leave on for 10 minutes before moisturizing. This will preclude temporary dryness of the skin while delivering the advantages.
Magnesium oil is not a substitute for moisturizers, but an adjunct. Its hygroscopic nature may initially draw moisture. Always follow up with the appropriate hydrating products once the product has been absorbed. I apply a hyaluronic acid serum over the magnesium. This keeps my skin plump and hydrated without compromising my skin's condition.
Manage expectations for chronic skin conditions, such as glossy skin and skin lesions, particularly for conditions like eczema, hives, or rosacea. Magnesium oil can improve the appearance of the skin but will not cure rosacea or eczema. It works synergistically to decrease the magnitude of the symptoms. I have used this product with medical treatments and seen improved results. It takes time and consistency in the routine, but I saw visible results in weeks.
