Prof. Graham Pierce, Ph.D.Understanding where not to apply magnesium spray fends off unpleasant reactions. This strong solution works wonders on correct skin sites but can cause havoc in sensitive ones. This mineral sting can irritate tender tissues. I know! I discovered this firsthand when I sprayed near my eyes. If you would like to get all the benefits without the discomfort of proper applications.
Facial Areas
- Avoid entire face especially near eyes and nostrils
- Thin skin increases absorption causing irritation
- Accidental contact requires immediate water rinsing
- Use diluted neck applications instead of facial sprays
Mucous Membranes
- Never spray near lips nostrils or genital regions
- Mucous membranes absorb minerals too rapidly
- Burning sensation indicates immediate rinsing needed
- Keep applications 2 inches away from sensitive zones
Damaged Skin
- Skip cuts scrapes sunburns or rashes completely
- Broken skin barriers increase absorption risks
- Wait until full healing occurs before application
- Cover nearby areas with petroleum jelly as protection
Special populations must take greater precautions with magnesium spray. Pregnant women should avoid using it on the abdomen unless directed to do so by their doctor. Children under twelve have thinner skin, so approval from a dermatologist is required. Individuals with kidney problems should closely monitor their magnesium intake to prevent potential complications. I always patch test new products on my inner elbow first.
Unintended contact necessitates rapid reaction. Rinse your eyes well with cool water for five minutes if you have been sprayed in the eye. Milk may be drunk to counteract oral exposure. Call poison control. For skin reactions, aloe vera or colloidal oatmeal may be applied. Keep emergency numbers handy near magnesium products.
Opt for safer application areas for constant benefit. You will absorb magnesium through your feet, arms, and legs quite efficiently without any danger. Vary the application areas to prevent becoming sensitive to it. I concentrate on my calves and the soles of my feet daily on alternate days. This plan affords the benefits while allowing me to protect the delicate areas.
