Skin Care

Simple Mask for Oily, Acne-Prone Skin

What it does: Minimises pore size and blackheads. Good for oily skin and blemishes.

How to do it: Spread a thin layer of Milk of Magnesia (unflavored is best) over problem areas. Allow to dry for 15-20 mins. Rinse off with water. Repeat once or twice a week

Why it helps: Milk of Magnesia is Magnesium hydroxide, which is an alkaline. This neutralizes the excess acid on skin, which causes blemishes. It also disinfects skin and absorbs oil. Source & LA Times Report

Available at Guardian, Watsons, Unity. Originally used to treat heartburns, sour stomach, acid indigestion.
