Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: Sea Magik Magnesium Spa Flakes

There are real triple-duty health and beauty benefits from this super-affordable bath soak, which hydrates and softens skin, helps heal skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, and is also the most efficient way to boost magnesium levels, as we learnt from an Oxford researcher many years ago.

And magnesium is a vital mineral to keep topped up, needed for lots of body functions including blood and bone health (it relaxes blood vessels helping blood flow, helps regulate blood sugar levels and is as important as calcium for bones), as well as being deeply relaxing so you sleep better.

This all-natural product isn’t glam – though you could decant into a pretty jar for your bathroom shelf, as we do – but Sea Magik Magnesium Flakes are brilliant value, and should be a household staple. A warm bath with magnesium flakes is also great for calming kids before bed, we’re told. Use it lavishly: at least one cup per bath and on stress-y days two to four cups and a 20-minute soak will set you right – and leave you with super soft skin all over. 

Also: try it as a foot soak using one cup in a bowl – washing up bowls are just the ticket – to put the spring back in your step.
