Magnesium is a mineral that is imperative for our overall health and wellness.
From migraines to sleep disorders and skin problems, magnesium may help remedy countless health and skin conditions. Due to the heavily processed diets of today, magnesium deficiency is common as it is depleted from the food sources. Magnesium deficiency can lead to a multitude of detrimental health issues that can easily be avoided by simply boosting your levels.
THE REASONS WHY MAGNESIUM OIL TINGLES
There is a very strong link between low levels of magnesium in the body and the stinging caused by magnesium oil. In most cases, people who experience this sensation during or after applying magnesium spray believe that their skin is sensitive to magnesium oil. However, this is not always the case. The reasons why magnesium oil can cause skin tingling can be any or the combination of the following:
Severe deficiency
- Magnesium oil causing itchiness can be the sign of low levels of the mineral in your body. Therefore, the more severe the deficiency is, the more severe the sensation. Itchiness is often a side effect when magnesium deficient skin is first introduced to Magnesium Oil. This "urgency reaction" causes the blood vessels to open quickly, creating friction under the skin. This sensation and other side effects should subside when the product is used consistently and the body no longer has the "urgency reaction".

Too much magnesium at once
Applying a heap of magnesium oil on your skin can be tempting if you are deficient, however, it is not always the best idea. Suddenly ramping up the amount of magnesium oil you apply may contribute to the stinging sensation. Gradually get your body get used to the topical magnesium oil, especially if you are a first-time user. Just a couple of sprays at first only and then build up slowly, daily. -
Vasodilatation
Magnesium oil acts as the vasodilator that relaxes muscle cells and increases blood flow in capillaries. This may also cause a stinging sensation.
