Balance and Well-being
I have always been drawn to natural body butters. I remember the first one I was given by my sister when I was pregnant with my daughter. It was a preventative stretch mark cream for the belly and for the body which left me feeling calm and nourished.
Since then, body creams have given me a sense of protection and soothed my mind. I have tried out many over the years and of recent, I came across Magnesium Body Creams.
As I have gotten older, I like finding alternative ways to nourish myself. I treat myself differently in my 40s, with more self-care and respect. I read ingredients on labels of products and respect the properties that they exhibit.
Magnesium being an essential vitamin, the creams and bath salts that I have started using at night give me a sense of calm. I have experienced a deeper rest and feel more rejuvenated.
The night time Magnesium cream has Melatonin which regulates sleep. I would recommend using the products at night as it has the longest time to be absorbed in the skin.
Magnesium plays many key roles throughout the body. It is important for muscles, nerve communication, your heart and bones and even your skin. Magnesium is better absorbed through the skin than absorbed internally so the benefits are wonderful. I feel like I am feeding my body with goodness when I have a bath filled with magnesium flakes.
Some of the benefits of Magnesium creams are:
– Manage Stress
– Sleep sounder
– Soothe muscle cramps post work out
– Help Arthritis
– Clear skin, eczema, dry skin and acne
– Ease headaches
These are just a few benefits from a simple 20- or 30-minute soak in the bath. You can use the flakes in the bath as well as with the body butter. I personally use both as I feel like the cream seals in the nutrients and gives an added boost to all the benefits overnight.
I believe that like the food we eat, the products that we use on our skin and absorb into our cells can also give us nutrients our body may be craving.
