The Mind-Body Benefits of Magnesium: How to Support Your Health Inside and Out

The Mind-Body Benefits of Magnesium: How to Support Your Health Inside and Out

Magnesium is one of the most important minerals for total wellbeing — yet most of us don’t get enough of it. From easing muscle tension and improving sleep, to supporting mood, nerve health, and skin repair, magnesium works quietly behind the scenes in over 300 biochemical processes in the body.

At Faith’s Ethical Living, we believe in a holistic approach to magnesium: nurturing the body from the inside and the outside.

Here’s how topical and supplemental magnesium can work together — and how our range of magnesium-rich products makes it simple to integrate into your self-care routine.

 

🌿 Why Magnesium Matters

Magnesium is essential for:

• Muscle relaxation and recovery
• Energy production and metabolism
• Stress regulation and emotional balance
• Sleep quality and circadian rhythm
• Healthy nerve and heart function
• Skin repair and hydration

Unfortunately, stress, modern diets, and depleted soils mean many people run low in magnesium — leading to fatigue, irritability, cramps, and poor sleep.

That’s where topical and supplemental magnesium come in.

✨ The Case for Topical Magnesium

Unlike pills, topical magnesium is absorbed through the skin. This means:

• No digestive upset or laxative side-effects
• Direct delivery to sore muscles or tension areas
• Support for skin barrier function
• A soothing, spa-like sensory experience

Let’s explore your options — and how each product fits into a holistic routine.

 

🧴 1.  Oat & Ceramide Barrier Repair Cream

£38.00

A luxurious daily moisturiser that brings together magnesium, oat extract, and plant-derived ceramides to repair and strengthen the skin barrier.

Perfect for sensitive or dry skin, this cream delivers both hydration and a gentle magnesium boost.

How to use:

Apply to clean skin morning and night. Especially effective after a shower or bath when the skin is slightly damp.

 

🌙 2.  Sweet Sleep Magnesium Butter

£15.00 (30 ml)

Your nightly dose of calm. This whipped magnesium butter melts beautifully into the skin and helps to ease tension, soothe muscles, and prepare your body for rest.

How to use:

Massage a grape-sized amount into feet, calves, or shoulders 20 minutes before bed.

Regular use may help reduce restless legs, promote deep sleep, and relieve headaches or migraines.

🛁 3. Bath Salts Pouch — Bath Soak

 

Take your self-care to the next level with a full-body magnesium soak.

Our bath salts combine Epsom and mineral salts with botanicals to provide deep relaxation, soothe tired muscles, and leave your skin silky smooth.

How to use:

Add a generous handful to warm bath water. Soak for 15–20 minutes, then follow with our Oat & Ceramide Cream or Sweet Sleep Butter for the ultimate magnesium ritual.

 

💊 4. Magnesium Jar — Wild Nutrition Magnesium

£26.50

For comprehensive support, our Wild Nutrition Magnesium Jar provides highly bioavailable magnesium in supplement form.

It’s ideal for anyone who wants to build up systemic magnesium levels — supporting energy, stress balance, muscle function, and heart health from within.

Why it complements topical magnesium:

Taking a supplement internally replenishes body stores, while topical application delivers magnesium directly to target tissues.

Used together, they form a complete inside-out approach to magnesium wellness.

How to use:

Take one capsule daily with food, or as recommended by your healthcare professional.

🧘♀️ The Mind–Body Connection

Magnesium doesn’t just ease the body — it soothes the mind.

It helps calm the nervous system, supports neurotransmitter balance, and regulates cortisol (your stress hormone).

That’s why consistent magnesium use often leads to:

• Deeper, more restorative sleep
• Better focus and emotional balance
• Reduced anxiety and physical tension
• Enhanced post-exercise recovery

By combining topical and internal forms, you can address magnesium needs at every level — skin, muscle, and nervous system.

 

Gentle Safety Notes

• Always patch test new products on a small area first.
• Avoid applying topicals to broken or irritated skin.
• If you have kidney issues or take medications affecting magnesium levels, consult your healthcare provider before using supplements.
• For best results, maintain regular daily use — magnesium benefits compound over time.
