Notes

HOW TO USE MAGNESIUM LOTION
Apply the lotion to the skin daily or as needed. I prefer to use it twice a day, once in the morning and once before bed.
HOW LONG DOES MAGNESIUM LOTION LAST?
This lotion will last up to six months when stored in an airtight container. Keep the lotion out of direct sunlight. It can be kept at room temperature but may change texture when in temperatures above 76 degrees.
CAN KIDS USE MAGNESIUM LOTION?
I occasionally use this lotion on my kids! Magnesium can boost the immune system, so using this lotion when the kids are not feeling well can help them to get better faster. My kids definitely prefer using the lotion over the spray.
A good way to judge if you are using too much magnesium is by your stools. A common sign of magnesium deficiency is constipation. If your stools get loose or you start having diarrhea, this can be a sign of too much magnesium.
