BetterYou Magnesium Body Lotion 180ml

The lotion goes on smoothly, tried the gel version but it dried sticky.

I have been using BetterYou magnesium products for some time but have only recently discovered that they are available on Amazon. Magnesium is an essential mineral that the body needs but I understand that many people are low in it probably due to an unhealthy diet. We can take magnesium in tablet form but these have a reputation for affecting the gut e.g. causing diarrhoea. This was certainly my experience. I was, therefore, interested to learn that magnesium can be absorbed through the skin. In this way it bypasses the gut and avoids digestive problems. I tried BetterYou products for this reason and have tried a number of different products. I initially tried their original magnesium oil but found that this irritated my skin. I then used their sensitive version which avoided this problem. I subsequently discovered their body lotion and body butter and I have continued to use these. The body lotion contains magnesium oil, shea butter, cocoa butter, coconut oil and vitamin E. It is paraben free and has not been tested on animals. It is gentle on the skin, has minimal scent and is very pleasant to use. I apply it after showering and it is good to know that as I moisturise my skin, I am also topping up my magnesium levels. I will continue to use these products rather than "normal" body lotion.

Quite strong and it works fast, just few dabs of this is enough, but more than that you would get "improved digestion". I'm giving it 4 stars as you have to buy 2 bottles which is way too much and one would probably expire before I get to use it.
