I use Phillips milk of magnesia in my face to even the color. Many people use it for oily skin. I don't know it this can be helpful to you. I love to use it on my face but I don't have an oily skin problem.Replied by Atlanta, Ga (Atlanta, Ga) on 09/21/2010
Hi Gloria, I went through a phase where I was oily and breaking out.. Always had been on the normal to dry side. I too thought it was internal until I switched to bar soap rather than using liquid soap. Everything cleared up nicely. Perhaps there is something in the liquid soap you are sensitive to. Good luck!Replied by Gloria (Farmington Hills, Mi) on 09/23/2010
Atlanta, thank you for your response. What bar soap do you use? I was thinking of trying a goats milk bar soap. I've heard good things about goats milk, and have been using goats milk yogurt as a mask/cleanser for a couple of days.Replied by Elizabeth (Nashville, Tn) on 09/24/2010
I've heard milk of magnesia works wonders. It turns your face white so I would only do it at night.Replied by Christal (Kyle, Texas) on 12/18/2010
Hey in response to Gloria, You should get some Bentonite Clay and take it internally daily, It sucks all the toxins out and cleans out your bowels, you can do a Bentonite Clay Detox And you can also make it into a wonderful clay mask, check out http://www.aboutclay.com gives you some amazing information about it, I had the worst acne growing up and I would try everything, Don't use antibiotics, ever.
You need to start ingesting Organic Coconut oil as it is antifungal. My dermatologist told me I have rosacea and perioral dermatitis, I ingest Apple Cider Vinegar (with the mother) daily, as with Coconut oil and I have been taking the bentonite clay and I also use it as a mask, however if you are going to ingest the clay, mix it with some organic chocolate milk, its much easier to down that way....
