If anyone out there has ridiculously oily skin like me, then this is a very useful tip.
After cleansing and moisturizing (yes even in the summer we still need moisture, plus the SPF is a must), apply a dime to nickel size amount of Milk of Magnesia! Any brand is fine, I purchased the CVS brand.
I pour my MoM into a little bottle for easy dispensing. SHAKE YOUR BOTTLE! If you don't shake it, it won't work. It is pretty thick, so I just pour a little onto the back of my hand, dip my finger into it and dab onto my entire face. You'll feel it disappear onto your skin and you'll be able to feel and see your face "mattifying". If you apply too much you'll know because you get a slight powdery residue in spots. I've just used a tissue to sweep it off.
I have acne prone oily skin and have never experienced a break out! It,s all natural and great for sensitive skin. I just used this trick for my big birthday bash and my makeup (which usually starts sliding off after about 2 hours) stayed flawless from 6:30-12! Almost 6 hours!
This is great Sylv - I look forward to your sweat proof tip :)
