Beauty: Milk of Magnesia for Oily Skin
Using Milk of Magnesia is known by makeup artist as the perfect primer but did you know that is a great way to control oily skin. Milk of Magnesia is commonly used medically as a laxative and antacid. Milk of Magnesia, also known as magnesium hydroxide is a suspension of hydrated magnesium carbonate in water.
Milk of Magnesia is a great cleanser and toner. It can be used to help minimize pore size and reduces blackheads.
STEPS:
Be sure to shake before use.
1.Wash face clean and pat dry gently
2.Immediately after washing, dab a cotton ball (or foundation brush) in a the Milk of Magnesia and apply a thin layer all over the face and nose
3.When Milk of Magnesia dries on face, apply your make up directly over it without washing the milk off.
OPTION: You can let dry and just wash off instead of wearing it under make up (use it as a facial mask). If you want to store it where you store your makeup, try putting it in a little squeeze bottle...it will save space and hopefully prevent people from asking why you use poop medicine on your face...lol.
Please note that it is best when just using it as a cleanser, it should be used only once or twice a week. Milk of Magnesia may make the skin too tight and dry, so if you do not have oily skin, I wouldn't recommend using. White patches can appeared if used in large amounts and only a thing layer should be applied.
