The milk of magnesia worked! For months I had tried everything to moisturize my flaking legs.... After trying milk of magnesia for just two minutes, I rubbed in some olive oil while still in the hot shower and my skin is finally back to normal! Thanks!!

Years ago I heard that putting milk of magnesia topically on dry skin would remove dead cells and leave healthy skin, from a model that used it to keep her skin beautiful. I did that a lot on dry skin and loved it. Lately I bathe in it, 1 /2 cup in hot bath and also soak my head in the tub. I have had dry skin, so this is nice. I have fall/ winter/ spring dandruff but not summer.

Lately I ran across coconut oil and trying to use it in different ways. Heated some in an old agave bottle with a tiny tip on it. Heated my rice pack in microwave and wrapped the rice pack around agave bottle to melt the oil and then put on the scalp. Let soak all day then took a bath with head in water, followed with a shampoo. No oily hair just soft and no dandruff.

Also daily brush with the oil and put on face, hands and feet. Use half pea size in ear if there is any ringing starting up.
