Where should you put magnesium spray for sleep?
If you're wondering about the best places for magnesium spray, you're not alone! Many people seek answers on where to apply magnesium spray, especially at bedtime, to enhance their relaxation routine. This post will explore three ideal areas for application, the best time to apply, and what to avoid to maximize the benefits of magnesium oil. Let's dive in so you can try it tonight!
Feet, calves, shoulders, and inner arms are ideal areas
The feet, calves, shoulders, and inner arms are excellent choices for applying magnesium spray. These areas have thinner skin, which helps with the absorption of magnesium. The feet, for example, are particularly effective due to their high number of pores and fewer hair follicles, allowing for better penetration. Similarly, the calves offer a larger surface area with relatively thin skin, making them another prime spot for effective magnesium uptake.
Shoulders are also a great option because they are easy to reach and have good blood circulation that aids in nutrient distribution. Lastly, the inner arms feature sensitive skin that absorbs topical magnesium well. Importantly, these areas are less likely to get washed off quickly compared to the hands or face, making them practical choices for application.
- Feet: High absorption rates due to pores and fewer hair follicles.
- Calves: Large surface area with thin skin for effective uptake.
- Shoulders: Easy access and good circulation for nutrient distribution.
- Inner arms: Sensitive skin readily absorbs magnesium.
- Less likely to wash off compared to hands or face.
Try It Tonight: Quick Start ✅
- Screen-free + dim lights for 10–15 minutes.
- Gentle stretch or slow breathing (4–7–8).
- Apply Magnesium Spray as directed (e.g., 4–8 sprays on legs/arms/shoulders 10–20 minutes before bed). Patch-test if new to topicals.
Apply after a warm shower when pores are open
Applying magnesium spray after a warm shower can significantly enhance absorption. The heat and steam from a shower open the pores and increase blood circulation, creating optimal conditions for the magnesium to penetrate the skin. When you shower with warm water, it softens the skin, allowing better pathways for absorption. This is a perfect time to apply magnesium because your skin is clean and free from oils and lotions, which can hinder absorption.
Moreover, the steam hydrates the skin, which can further enhance the penetration of the topical minerals. The relaxation that comes after a warm shower complements the soothing effects of magnesium, making it an ideal part of your bedtime routine. Imagine stepping out of a warm shower, feeling relaxed, and applying magnesium spray as you prepare for a restful night.
- Warm water opens pores and softens skin for better absorption.
- Increased blood flow helps distribute magnesium throughout the body.
- Clean skin allows direct contact between magnesium and skin.
- Steam increases skin hydration, enhancing penetration.

Don’t apply on broken, irritated, or freshly shaved skin 🔍
It's essential to avoid applying magnesium spray on broken or compromised skin to prevent any irritation. Damaged skin may react negatively to magnesium chloride, leading to discomfort. For instance, applying magnesium to cuts or broken skin can cause intense stinging. Similarly, areas that are irritated or inflamed might become further aggravated by the mineral concentration in the spray.
Additionally, applying magnesium to freshly shaved areas can be uncomfortable due to microscopic cuts that increase sensitivity. Conditions like eczema or dermatitis may worsen with direct application. To ensure comfort, start with small amounts on healthy skin to gauge your tolerance before applying more widely.
- Avoid broken skin to prevent stinging from magnesium chloride.
- Keep away from irritated areas that might react negatively.
- Skip freshly shaved skin to avoid discomfort from tiny cuts.
- Be cautious with skin conditions that may worsen with magnesium use.
- Start small to test tolerance before full application.
