How long should magnesium stay on skin?

Magnesium oil needs *specific contact time* to absorb properly by way of the skin. The mineral solution needs enough time to penetrate properly. Actual benefits are derived best when the contact time is at least 20-30 minutes on the skin. This allows the magnesium ions to filter through the sweat glands and hair follicles. I time the applications accordingly so benefits are maximized.

Be careful to manage post-application routines carefully. Allow the magnesium oil to air dry completely before dressing, which takes approximately 10-15 minutes. Natural salt crystallizes, indicating absorption is occurring. I wear loose clothing over the application areas. Avoid tight fabrics that rub off on the solution before it has had a chance to work. This ensures that contact time will be prolonged for better results.

For sensitive skin types reduce application time to 15-20 minutes if stinging or sensations are felt as above. Wipe off residue after 15-20 minutes. Dilution of the solutions will afford a longer period of safety. I test an entirely new product by short applications first (1-3 minutes). I increase the time as it is tolerated.

Timing affects the systemic versus local benefits of magnesium oil. Localized applications are effective for certain muscles. Trails should have a long contact time to benefit the whole body in achieving mineral balance. For optimal sleep and recuperation benefits, products should be applied overnight. Magnesium oil is applied after dinner to provide evening absorption. Effectively used, these practices fit into the totality of life.
