Milk of Magnesia

Does anyone use this as a mask? It's supposed to be really good for stopping acne and making the skin smooth.

TIA :icon_bigg

From cosmeticcop.com

ABSORBING EXCESS OIL: While most people think clay masks are the only way to absorb excess oil on the skin, these are not the only, nor the best choices. I would start with milk of magnesia first. Milk of Magnesia is nothing more than liquid magnesium hydroxide, which is known to soothe skin and reduce irritation, and it has incredible oil-absorbing properties. Magnesium absorbs more oil than clay, and clay has no disinfecting or soothing properties. How often you use milk of magnesia depends on how oily your skin is. Some use it every day; others, once a week. Only you and your skin can determine what frequency works best for you. (You may also want to try Paula's Choice Oil-Absorbing Facial Mask.) Apply a thin layer of Milk of Magnesia over your entire face and allow it to dry for at least 10 minutes. Then gently rinse your face.

I have NEVER even ever heard of applying milk of magnesia to your face, I thought it was only needed to do you know what, but thanks.... I'll will be sure to try that though on my face one day when it's needed. Thanks again.

Milk Of Mag is a laxative brand.Supposidly it will help heal skin and mositurize too..due to the Magnesium in it.Supposidly liquid Mallox and Mylanta will do the same. I kno they are used on small wounds.

Sorry IDK too much about this..but I have read that calamine lotion does the same thing. People are reporting that their acne just dries RIGHT OFF! I'm hearing really impressive things about MOM. If you don't have oily skin I think it's recommended that you only use it once a week.

People also use it as a primer!

I wish I could try it, but I promised myself I would devote 3 months to my skin care regimine before I re-evaluate and maybe change some things up! It's been less than a week and I'm already tempted!
