milk of magnesia on skin Posted: 06-11-08 22:24pm


Hi, I've heard that people have success putting milk of magnesia on their skin every night since it absorbs oil thus prevent acne. Is this safe though? I cannot find any information as it's intended purpose is oral ingestion as a laxative. Can it cause high magnesium levels in the blood if absorbed through skin daily? I know it can cause high levels through oral ingestion.

Try Witch Hazel. Its an astringent, and has worked wonderful for years. Its not the most plesant smell in the wrold, but it dries up oily skin and take "zits" away. This is what my daughter uses. after years of trying everything else on the market.....I'd say leave the Milk of Mag. alone unless you are constipated! This is sure to break that up!
