In Reply to: Oatmeal Mask AND Does anybody use California Tan Soothing SunHemp for their acne? posted by Chris on February 10, 2000 at 16:50:12:

If you have oily skin, the best kind of mask you can use is Milk of Magnesia. Wash your face as you always do and then spread the M of M on it and let dry. (Shake the container well.)Rinse with warm water.

I know this recipe sounds odd because Milk of Magnesia is usually taken orally for stomach problems. However, the magnesium in the product really absorbs oil and it is also a mild disinfectant. It's also cheaper than a lot of commercial masks. Use only the regular kind (not mint flavoured, for example).

Cheers!
