Guide To The Conditions Milk Of Magnesia Helps Treat

May Work As A Makeup Primer

Many very strange cosmetic trends come and go, especially with today's rapidly evolving social media and influencer culture. But using milk of magnesia as a makeup primer is a practice endorsed by several large and well-respected makeup companies, experts, and publications. Some professional makeup artists use milk of magnesia on celebrities rather than using traditional cosmetic matte primers. One of the reasons it's so popular with makeup artists is because of the layer it creates between the face and the foundation. When celebrities go out under hot stage or studio lights to perform, this protective barrier prevents the foundation from sinking into their face as they sweat. There have also been demonstrated benefits for the appearance of oily skin. It removes excess grease from the skin and gives individuals a level of shine control that isn't often found in matte primers. Individuals who have tried it report it feels somewhat like using a hydrating clay mask as a facial.
