Your source? I don't see anything on the web about that.
I used to have dry itchy skin, which was cleared up in one day with supplementing 800 mg of magnesium.
From The Acne Resource Center: http://www.acne-resource.org/acne-articles/nutrient-intake.html
"Another mineral helpful in improving acne is magnesium. It is essential for metabolism, aids in growth of bones and is the body's major electrolyte. It is helpful in relieving stress and is responsible for the health of the heart, blood circulation, blood pressure and overall relaxation. As stress triggers off adrenal hormones, magnesium can help in reducing stress, relaxing muscles and thus reducing formation of extra hormones and avoiding acne worsening."
