Can magnesium flakes be used every day, or are there limits on how often? — ICONFIT Magnesium Fine Flakes 1kg

ICONFIT magnesium flakes have no strict limits on frequency of use for healthy skin. Many people include such procedures in a regular evening ritual — for example, after training or after a working week spent standing on their feet.

Nevertheless, a few practical points are worth considering:

• Sensitive skin. Frequent contact with the salt solution can dry out the skin or cause mild irritation. If you notice dryness or discomfort after the procedures, reduce how often you use them, or rinse the skin after the bath and apply a moisturising cream.
• Damage and irritation. With scratches, cracks, inflammation or a flare-up of chronic skin conditions, it is better to refrain from the procedure until the skin has recovered.
• Water temperature. Very hot baths, when used frequently, put a strain on the blood vessels and are less well tolerated. Warm water is the best choice.

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or have chronic conditions, consult a specialist before using them regularly.

Overall, for most people moderately regular use — a few times a week — is comfortable and causes no problems. Go by how your skin feels.
