Mismag, a dupe for Milk of Magnesia as a cure for oily skin.

Hello everyone, on my last post i wrote about Milk of Magnesia (MOM) being a cure for oily skin. I never tried it but read lots of good reviews about it. Now MOM is not something you easily get here in Nigeria but i did see one in my local drug store and it goes for N1200 or N1500 there about. If prices are to be compared between how much it is sold abroad and how much it is here, then i would say it is a bit expensive. The good news is we have our own cheaper local version which we call Mismag, which goes from N200 upwards. I bought one and decided to try it, what can i say, IT WORKS. I used it on a day out, first applied it all over t-zones and as i was applying it i felt it soaking and drying out the oil on my face, i mean my face felt bone dry. I used a little not to over do it and then i put on my foundation, powder and every other thing and i was good to go. It was hot that day to make testing complete. Now before when i put on foundation and powder alone my face would start to look like i applied the wrong shade of foundation cause it would change colour, even if i used another foundation it would be the same problem and it looked like i literary sprayed oil on my face, became fustrated and finally gave up on foundation and powder until now.
When i use mismag as my anti shine serum and face primer the result it gives me is perfection. Hardly any oil and my foundation looks flawless 'yesss'. Even when i sweat i still look good. So it is official this is my go to anti-shine serum and face primer that i will be using it on my clients and myself. It is cheap, easily available and there is plenty of it in the bottle to go round. I really can't get over the fact that all this while this readily available constipation drug was the answer to oily skin.
I will put up before and after pictures so you can see the result but please try it and let me know how it works for you.
NOTE: it might not work on some people as we all have different skin types.

Hi, i will do a before an after picture soon just need to get someone with a very oily face to prove my point. For the mismag shake very well and put a drop or two on your fingers. Apply this all over your face avoiding the eye area. You can also use disposable wedges/foams just make sure you use a little cos it goes a long way.

Hello, you can try it and see if it works. All you have to do is shake it well then pour a tiny drop in a container and dab a wedge/foam in it. Apply all over the face (avoid the eyes) especially where you feel oil the most. Keep on until everything is well blended into the skin. Give yourself a few hours to see if your face still feels dry then you will know if it works.
