NB: Nigari salt, even when hermetically packed, has the characteristic of easily becoming a 'block'. To make the salt malleable again, it is advisable to leave the package open for a few hours in a place with normal humidity. How to make cosmetic magnesium water/oil? The magnesium chloride must first be dissolved in water. Use 1 part magnesium chloride and 1 part distilled water. Boil the water, pour it over the magnesium chloride and stir until it is completely dissolved. Now pour it into a spray bottle and it is ready to use! Test it first on a small area of ​​your skin, sometimes it can sting or irritate too much and you may need to dilute it even more (always use distilled water for this). For sensitive skin always use a more diluted version of for example 1 part magnesium chloride and 10 - 20 parts water. Spray the 'magnesium oil' (it feels greasy when dissolved in water, but it is not!) on your body. Leave it on and then use a lotion or cream, or you can leave it on for 20 minutes and rinse it off again. If you use the spray on your face it is advisable to always rinse it off again. The best places to absorb magnesium are the feet, the armpits and the abdominal area. But if you suffer from cramps or tense muscles then it is also wise to treat the area itself.
