Magnesium oil is a substance applied in the skin that can help restore or improve the magnesium levels in your body. What you need to know is that magnesium is usually poorly absorbed when taken orally. Because of this, magnesium supplementation may be done using magnesium oil. Since the name implies, many people may think that magnesium oil is a type of 'oil'. However, it is actually a saturated solution of magnesium chloride with water. Because of this, there is no need to worry about oily skin or even oil stains.
