I'm not sure how, but the flavors seem to make it work less (and the mint one actually kind of burns on my face). You can try applying more, but there's a good chance the issue is actually a formulation difference between the US and the UK.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073988175433533915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2665836630509845866.post-72110114873823633662013-09-09T12:52:52.381-04:002013-09-09T12:52:52.381-04:00Milk of magnesia didn't work my t zone is stil...Milk of magnesia didn't work my t zone is still just as oily. its so fustrating! but i only have the mint flavour, so that might be the reason why. in the uk they only sell mint though :( or maybe im just not applying enough?

I'm really not sure how that happens, but I've definitely seen it happen with me.<br /><br />I decided to try this out and write about it after seeing a few girls discuss this on Makeup Alley's makeup board about a month ago. I had seen discussion on it there years before and had completely forgotten about it! I bet that MoM is discussed or recommended at least once or twice a day on that board. Some of the girls use straight MoM, like me, some found they didn't need so much and would water it down before application. (A little travel nalgene bottle is perfect for storing this in)<br /><br />The way this works is the way it works for constipation. The Magnesium salt is an <i>osmotic laxative</i> meaning it absorbs things. In the gut it absorbs water, pulling it into your gut and loosening things up in there (ok, it is more complicated than that, but it's the idea). On your skin the salt sucks up the oil produced. But, if you apply too much it can definitely do this to your skin, pulling water out of it (yes, really), drying out your skin.<br /><br />Christina- I'd be careful using it if you are flaky. MoM can definitely make this worse. Also, are you flaky on the top of your nose or around the folds of your nose? Let me know, I have a video to share with you if it's around the folds. :D If you do decide to give this a shot I'd recommend being one of the girls that mixes the MoM with water to make it easier to get very light coverage.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073988175433533915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2665836630509845866.post-85509319420952535442010-05-16T20:18:38.684-04:002010-05-16T20:18:38.684-04:00Whoa - I am totally going to try this!Whoa - I am totally going to try this!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03571269904437210540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2665836630509845866.post-87689554597987113692010-05-16T04:04:37.611-04:002010-05-16T04:04:37.611-04:00Christine-

(I'm assuming that because you can purchase it at drugstores, it's not ridiculously expensive.) <br /><br />Most people's skin builds up a resistance to mattifiers after a while and I wonder if that happens with MoM, too? I guess I'll just have to try the product for a while and find out!<br /><br />Thanks for the tip about this product. I'm excited to try it!<br /><br />-SarahSarah Helfgotthttp://www.theconfessionsofaproductjunkie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2665836630509845866.post-41764067883617226262010-05-15T17:08:35.366-04:002010-05-15T17:08:35.366-04:00HUH!
