How to Use Magnesium Bath Flakes for the Ultimate Spa Experience

Bring the Spa Home 

Sometimes, all we need is a little escape. If you’re looking to turn your bath into a calming, spa-like experience, magnesium bath flakes are a simple and luxurious way to do it. 

We love creating moments that help you slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself. Adding Magnesium Flakes to your bath is an easy ritual that can transform a normal evening into a soothing self-care experience. 

What Are Magnesium Bath Flakes? 

Magnesium bath flakes are made from magnesium chloride, a mineral sourced from natural deposits such as the ancient Zechstein Sea in the Netherlands. This form of magnesium dissolves easily in warm water, creating a silky, gentle bath that leaves the skin feeling soft and nourished. 

Unlike regular salts, Magnesium Flakes offer a spa-like texture that makes every soak feel indulgent. They’re perfect if you want a calming, restorative moment at the end of the day or a luxurious treat after exercise. 

How to Use Magnesium Bath Flakes  

Using Magnesium Flakes in your bath is simple: 

• Fill your bath with warm water, ideally around 37–39°C (comfortable, not too hot).
• Add 2 to 5 handfuls of magnesium flakes and stir until fully dissolved.
• Step in and soak for 15–20 minutes, letting the silky water envelop you. 

For extra indulgence, you could: 

• Light a few candles or dim the bathroom lights for a calming glow
• Add a few drops of essential oil such as lavender, rosemary, or sweet orange
• Play music, listen to a podcast, read a book or simply enjoy the quiet 

Even a short 10-minute soak can make a difference if you’re short on time. Magnesium Flakes are versatile, so you can use them whenever you need a little pick-me-up or to unwind after a long day. 

Benefits of a Magnesium Bath 

Many people enjoy magnesium baths because they help create a relaxing, indulgent experience: 

• Spa-like indulgence at home, turning a regular bath into a moment of calm
• Smooth and soft skin, thanks to the silky texture of the flakes
• Perfect for unwinding, whether after a busy day, a workout, or just to pause and breathe and relax 
• Rich in magnesium

A bath with magnesium flakes is also ideal for anyone who enjoys mindful self-care. It’s a simple way to step away from the hustle, focus on yourself, and create a ritual that feels special. 

Quick Tips for the Best Experience 

Use a soft towel and moisturise after your bath to lock in the skin’s softness.  

Pair your soak with a Lucy Bee skincare ritual, such as our facial oil and gua sha, for a full indulgent spa-like experience. 

Make It Your Own 

Every bath is an opportunity to create your own ritual. Some people enjoy lighting a candle and journaling, while others like to simply soak and enjoy the quiet. Magnesium bath flakes are wonderfully versatile, letting you customise your bath exactly how you like it. 

Our Magnesium Flakes are sourced with care and designed to be a natural, simple way to make your self-care routine feel luxurious. Taking a little time for yourself isn’t indulgent, it’s essential. And sometimes all it takes is a warm bath with magnesium flakes to help you feel restored and calm.
