Elektra Magnesium Creams

Elektra Magnesium Creams act as a beautifully hydrating skin conditioner, whilst also providing magnesium and other trace minerals. It is made from a blend of exquisite plant oils like wild harvested African shea butter, macadamia nut oil, almond seed oil, apricot kernel oil and others. Magnesium chloride is infused with the oils in a special process, and pure essential oils are used for fragrance. One all-over application (one dessertspoon) gives 250 to 300mg of elemental magnesium ions.

Magnesium Application:  

Elektra Magnesium Creams works to hydrate, condition and rejuvenate the skin. It takes a few minutes to rub in this rich cream packed with nutrients, and about 10-20 minutes to be fully absorbed inside the epidermis, leaving a smooth finish and healthy glow to the skin. Avoid eye area or broken skin, as it can sting. If you feel a tingling sensation, this is normal as magnesium stimulates and improves (normalizes) circulation.  Magnesium chloride ions (like sodium, calcium or potassium electrolytes) deliver an ionic charge – a tiny electrical stimulus to the nerve endings. The thinner and dryer the skin the more sensation is felt as the mineral ions pass through.

Most people don’t notice it, but in case you do, it’s only temporary during absorption. This usually happens if the skin is particularly thin and/or dry and the nerve endings that meet the epidermis are closer to the surface and more sensitive.  Over time a better tolerance is built up, as magnesium is used to build collagen and hydration capacity of the skin. As the skin is revitalised and regains its integrity, the sensation dissipates. You can add any kind of extra plant oil (eg. coconut oil, rosehip oil, avocado oil, nut oils etc) on top of the magnesium cream application to tone down the tingling if this happens. The more fats – the less sensation. Note: Hot water soaking with the magnesium chloride flakes also hydrates the skin and can avoid the tingling sensation, however, the higher the concentration, the more likely the sensation. It’s best to try varying concentrations until you find what is suitable for you. This also varies over time as you become more tolerant. The better hydrated and conditioned the skin, the better its absorption capacity of magnesium ions.

When used in MASSAGE Elektra Magnesium Creams help stimulate blood flow, oxygenation and circulation, and helps to relax and relieve tight muscles and joints. The extra stimulation of massage provides a mechanical ‘push’ to the lymphatic and nervous-electrical system which enhances magnesium penetration to muscle cells.  It is also effective in relieving itchy inflamed skin.  If you happen to get a bit too much sun, apply extra magnesium cream to help soothe and rehydrate.
