🎙 [52 ] | [Magnesium for Skin Benefits: 5 Incredible Soap-Free Skincare Secrets ]

Magnesium for skin benefits is more than hype—it’s healing. In this episode of Becoming Natural, I share 5 incredible soap-free skincare secrets using salt and magnesium that can transform how you cleanse your body.

Salt is one of the oldest cleansers—known for its ability to fight bacteria, exfoliate, and infuse minerals that hydrate and protect your skin. Magnesium takes things further, helping with detox, circulation, and soothing inflammation. From Dead Sea minerals to simple Epsom salt baths, these God-given resources support your body in powerful ways without harsh soap.

You’ll also learn why “single-ingredient” products matter, the surprising truth about brands like Dr. Teal’s, and how magnesium sprays compare to salt soaks. I even share quick DIY uses you can try today, plus spiritual reflections on what it means to be the “salt of the earth.”

✨ Don’t miss this gentle but powerful soap-free swap.
