- At the same time, heat the purified water, add Epsom salt (or magnesium salt) to completely melt it and prepare the magnesium oil.
- When the magnesium oil is completed, check that the temperatures of 1 and 2 are the same and add one to the other little by little, mixing them well with a whisk (the type you would make fresh cream with).
