Hypersensitive

Normal skin types enjoy using the entire range as the skin is neither too oily nor too dry. It has the perfect level of fats (lipids) in the skin to absorb high concentrations of magnesium pleasantly.

Oily or combination skin types enjoy using the entire range, but when it comes to choice of moisturising creams, most tend to lean towards Island Spice and Zest-Citrus.

Dry skin types enjoy using the entire range, but when it comes to choice of moisturising creams, most tend to lean towards Herbal and Sensory Gold.

When it comes to the Magnesium Oil Spritz, depending on the extent of the dry skin, you may need to first condition your skin with our moisturiser to give the skin the extra fats it's missing to comfortably absorb the higher concentration of the magnesium in the Oil Spritz.

Sensitive skin types enjoy using most of our product range, but when it comes to choice of moisturising creams, most tend to lean towards Herbal and Sensory Gold.

The Charge Lotion may or may not feel preferable on the skin depending on the level of sensitivity, trying a small sample first would be a good idea.

The Magnesium Oil Spritz is mostly too strong for sensitive skin and you may experience a tingly sensation but don't worry as it is not harmful. If you feel this sensation, just apply an extra fat to dilute. (moisturiser, tallow, etc). You can also try a small sample to see if it works for your skin.

Hypersensitive skin types require a lot of healing and rebuilding and this can take some time. When skin is easily reactive, it's usually quite thin and doesn't have a lot of the skin lipids needed for comfortable absorption of magnesium.

The protocol is to start with foot soaks (or baths) everyday, magnesium drops in drinking water (aim to drink 2-3L per day), and using the Baby Calm Balm on the skin each day.

This should be kept up for 2-3 weeks. This allows the body to detox through the foot soaks (or baths), whilst also absorbing magnesium through the skin and small amounts through the digestive system.

You can then test a sample of our Herbal or Sensory Gold Magnesium Cream on the skin and see if it feels pleasant. When it does, you can then upgrade from the baby calm balm, to the magnesium creams, continuing the foot soaks (or baths) and mineral drops in drinking water.
