Magnesium chloride provides benefits for the skin, since it is important to know that the latter requires a good local defense against aggressions, microbes and all kinds of external infections.

These infections are responsible for certain dermatoses and skin conditions, such as impetigo due to staphylococci and streptococci, acne, and abscesses. In order to guarantee its functions, the skin must be clean and free of impurities.

Magnesium chloride acts on the skin as an absorbent. It can be used as a cleansing product for the skin, as an anti-scalant in case of injury, or to regulate sebum secretion.
