Re: Frugal Skin Care - esp. facial
For those like me with oily skin....
Instead of spending more money on the "brand" name oil control lotions and whatnot, use plain 'ol MOM (Milk of Magnesium). Get the little bottle, because you won't need much! Put a little bit on the oily areas, let dry (there will be some white cakiness to it), go over those areas (in a tapping motion) with a clean fingertip moistened with water - reduces that whiteness. Let dry then apply makeup! This stuff has keep my face more oil-slick free than any of the other oil control lotions I have used. I get to keep that matte look much longer! I read about this in a 800-page book about everything you ever wanted to know about beauty facts...
That book also gave very easy to follow steps if you're acne prone as well. I've been doing it for about 3 months now with great results. It doesn't cure it, but it really improved my complexion - and I'm 40!! You'd think I'd be done with all this by now - but no!
If anyone's interested, I'd be glad to post that info -- I have that section bookmarked at home.
