Magnesium oil spray vs tablets - no contest?

I post this link as I have been trying magnesium supplements alongside oil spray.

In my limited time so far there appears to be only one winner. I had resisted the spray as it was a gift and would never have bought it. I am slowly but surely getting into the swing of it !

DanielJ1,

If you like the mag oil spray you might also enjoy Epsom salt baths.

Can they work as well as spray - can you let me know

Thanks

Danielj1,

No idea, I haven't tried them, you'll have to try them for yourself.

Use a minumum 500g of epsom salts, & soak for a minimum 20 minutes. This isn't too dear if you buy a 25g sack from that bidding site. I've also used magnesium hexahydrate crystals which are a tad dearer, though less needed. I have 24kg of Himalayan salt, which works too, but I haven't used it for bathing as it was too gritty, & a nuisance having to remember to dissolve it & wait days for the sediment to settle.

It's really cheap to make a spray using magnesium hexahydrate. I've just found a shop selling Westlab's 500g for £2.49, which will last nearly two months if I dilute 75g to one 200ml bottle of witch hazel. I think this ratio is about half the strength of the shop bought sprays, but more suitable for me to use almost everywhere as I find the commercial ones strong enough to make my skin folds peel. Boiled or distilled water would be fine, I only use witch hazel as my skin is so wuss.

Thank you, i want to try it but i'm a bit worries. i bought magnesium oil from holland and barrett for £12 and its only 100ml, its quite strong and on the bottle it says to use 10 sprays which i do and i'v been doing it for a week and honstly i really like it. But i think its a bit too expensive for me to buy regularly as i first bought 15ml for £3 to test it and it finished in a week and as i'm only 16 i'm not really earning yet obvs thank you

Epsom salt baths are amazing! Hate the feel and smell of the spray. Use supplements to help headaches and constipation..successfully!

[BadHare in reply to thyroidquest]

I've temporarily suspended the spray until the weather's warmer, as it makes my skin feel damp when it's cold. I found the stuff I made quite tolerable, otherwise, as is the commercial stuff diluted by half. It acts as a deodorant, too, but again diluted, or it makes my armpit skin peel.

should i warm the witch hazel so the episome salt crystals can dissolve?

[BadHare in reply to Flower121]

Sorry for the tardy reply!

I don't warm the witch hazel, but would boil water if I was using that to dissolve magnesium. I use magnesium hexahydrate crystals rather than epsom salts, which are about the same cost.

Love the sprays! Better you brand. Absolute lifesaver as it works instantly when I have aches pains and spasms

Even worked on tummy pain and indigestion a few times when antacids didn’t touch it.

But yes it does feel sticky and don’t like the feel after... I usually wash it off after an hour or so
