More info on PH:
he pH Scale
The pH scale goes from 0-14. This covers most wet substances, and certainly all skincare products.
-Acids have pH values under 7 - they are more acidic then water (acid) -- good for SKIN
-Alkalis have pH values over 7 - they are more alkaline then water (base) --- good for the inside of your BODY
-If a substance has a pH value of 7 - it is neutral, like water (neither acid nor base)

Hey everyone! SO SORRY FOR THE BLURRINESS! I recorded & uploaded at
midnight. But it’s what I’M SAYING that really matters anyway. **P.S. I
will be recording a new video ASAP on what you can use instead of MoM for a
primer for oily skin.
I spoke to my board certified M.D. of dermatology and we watched your video
together -he disagrees. I quote “MOM is less damaging then benzoyl peroxide
, hydrogen peroxide, salicylic acid and vitamin A retinoids which are
common methods of the treatment of excess oil. All bodies are different and
if someone is experiencing adverse effects is maybe due to a sensitivity to
the magnesium.”
I am a makeup artist and cosmetologist. I agree with what you said to a
point. I want to thank you for bringing this to our attention. With that
said. The ph on skin is a 5.5 optimally . on a scale from 0 – 14. 0 being
acid. yes the skin is acidic. milk of mag is an 8.3. yes it IS more
alkaline . BUT its not that far off. as you said. its best to keep the acid
mantel of the skin proper. using MoM is fine as long as you dont abuse it.
like all makeup and all things, balance is everything. I just wanted to put
this information out there for others to make a decision . NOTE if you use
MoM, use apple cider vinegar as a toner at night after you wash your face
and you will bring balance back into your skin. =)
as a nurse, most beauty products are harmful to skin period it disrupts
your melanin production. which is the only protection our skin can produce
naturally. lack of this contributes to cause skin cancer. foundation is
the 1 product that damages the skin. MOM helps get rid of anything causing
disruption in the human body. I never heard of something you can ingest is
this bad. nice attempt but check with a dermatologist not a make up artist.
I think it depends on your skin type , to really know if it works for you,
you have to try it cause some with stronger skin can use it with no damage
(I know people who have been using it for ages lol) plus if primers really
don’t work for people with extremely oil slick skin can you blame them for
using and old beauty hack ? Very informative video but I feel like people
are overhyping it a bit , I think it’s no better than actual makeup itself
or acne skincare products like benzoyl peroxide etc.
Thaaaaank you so much for this video! i literally just came from buying MoM
and a few make up items, i saw it was recommended in some makeup tutorial
video and well i figured why not, its cheap so glad i stumbled upon
your page!
@bbeautymarkd
What are your thoughts on apple cider for the skin? i use it as a toner
mixed with water, is it also bad on the long run or is it completely
harmless and benefitinal?
Wow, I use pure organic lemon juice ( straight from the lemon it’s self )
on occasion to exfoliate my skin. Lemons help to make the body alkaline but
it’s an acid. Wondering now if it’s a good idea to use on the skin. Do you
know anything about it? This was a very informative video. Most people,
like myself, assume that if something is safe to consume, that it should
automatically be safe for the skin.
I’ve seen two dermatologists, one in my late teens and the other in my
early 30s … BOTH told me to use Milk of Magnesia as a cleanser. Note: a
CLEANSER not a primer. I’ve studied this heavily, also baking soda baths
and other Ph-altering substances.
Everyone can safely use MoM as a cleanser or a facial mask that you wash
off in 15 minutes or less. Don’t use ANY mask overnight, use only creams
made for overnight.
MoM is also fantastic to DOT onto a zit and leave overnight; especially
sebaceous acne, as it draws out and soaks up the pus that could otherwise
become infected from popping.
I love that you posted this….thank you…I’m in a corporate band and I
use the MOM treatment approximately 3 times per month and it’s on my face
for roughly 6 plus hours but does great for me why I’m performing on
stage…with your level of expertise would you say this is harmful ?
For my fellow oily skin ladies…. I just wanted to add that I do the ACV
toner and also drink ACV of course with water. I’ve noticed that my skin is
less oily and my make up stays on longer…..I’m also not an habitual
make-up wearer.
For my birth control, I have the five year mirena in, I’ve also noticed
that my skin is clear of acne….. Has anyone have this experience if used
mirena?
Milk of Magnesia only has 120mg of magnesium hydroxide per 1.5ml, any
damage or ‘softening’ can only happen with a very concentrated industrial
version. It’s the same with any retino type moisturiser. I find it ironic
that people think that this is okay to drink but somehow not safe to put on
your face (i.e. over your protective barrier)…
Phillips MOM was actually marketed as a laxative AND for oily skin in the
1900’s but because it’s so cheap / low profit it can’t compete for
marketing against the other high-budget cosmetic companies — it’s the same
reason why you never see ads for herbal medicines.
Also you need to use the original version. If you have breakouts then it’s
possibly because you bought the more common mint flavoured version!
I don’t use it all over as a face primer but only on my eyebrows (not the
hair since I have very scarce brows but I like to use it on that area
before I draw/fill in brows) to help the brows I created to not become so
shiny throughout the day. Would putting it on such a small area of my face
still change my skin?
Thank you for sharing! I struggle with acne and I was thinking about using
MoM. After watching your video, maybe I will stick to short mask times once
a week vs the every other day I was going to begin with!!!!
awesome!!! thanks for the info! I have oily skin but can’t seem to find any
primer suitable for my type of skin. Any suggestions will be greatly
appreciated..oh! i reside in europe ;)
This is highly wrong and very over exaggerated . Milk of magnesia is a
product that is also used to protect skin and Its actually perfect for a
primer because it protects your skin from foundation . A lot of beauty
products are harmful for the long shot and so are they’re primers . My skin
is beyond oily and not only does it soften my skin and give me a perfect
finish And LAST ALL DAY but it also works better for my pores than my face
wash ! Like really lol I’ve been using it for the longest and it also helps
my skin from peeling!! Use it you guys ! But remember not everyone skin is
the same -xo
YouTube can teach you a lot about makeup and beauty, but a visit to a
dermatologist is what you need before putting something you’re not sure of
on your skin. If you don’t have the money for a visit, go th the library
for books on how skin works.
Thank you for sharing! I used it on myself and didn’t like the way it made
my skin feel and since then I stopped. Good skin care routine, drink plenty
of water and eating will help control oil on ones face in addition to good
quality makeup products will help.
she’s right about the MOM, and more importantly, she’s also right about
taking care of your skin while you’re young. once it’s ruined, it can’t be
un-ruined, trust an old lady ;*
Great video! What is a good toner for your skin? I have heard that you can
use witch hazel. Is this a good product to use? Thank you for the Milk of
Magnesia information.
Great vid, thanks alot for that! I’ve always thought my skin to be slightly
oily, depending on the type of moisturizer I used but now that I’ve started
wearing makeup regularly, I’m noticing the oilier it’s becoming. Given that
I’m still getting into it and just now using foundation, I don’t spend a
boat load of $$ on my products – most of them are from the
drugstore/Walmart. Starting out w/Neutrogena’s Clear SkinClearing
foundation was a great experience, minus the fact that the darkest shade
was still a bit light for me. I moved on to L’Oreal TrueMatch about 2 wks
ago and I adore it…you can’t even tell I have anything on…until the oil
starts building up 5hrs later. I’ve even noticed extra oiliness on days I’m
not even wearing makeup, as if just by using the L’Oreal I’ve somehow
changed my skin. After all these vids, I was seriously thinking about
giving that MoM a try…but I’m definitely glad I saw this one before I
made the leap. So again, kudos to you for going the extra mile as an
industry pro! There definitely needs to be more people doing the same.
I think he this helped me figure out why I developed dark patches on my t
zone for no reason…… I could figure out why in those areas….mainly my
forehead. I hadn’t been out in the sun more than usual. I think it could of
also been my philosophy retina a cream, but in the past…. it evened out
my freckles….. not intensified them! Using the milk of magnesia one
summer after moving to Houston gave me dark patches…. and two years
later… I still have them!

Have you spoken with various doctors and dermatologists or are you just
spreading this “warning” by self research and hearsay?

Brilliant video, there are to many people on youtube promoting products
that they dont umderstand the science behind!
Wow, I use pure organic lemon juice ( straight from the lemon it’s self )

it’s an acid. Wondering now if it’s a good idea to use on the skin. Do you

like myself, assume that if something is safe to consume, that it should
automatically be safe for the skin.
I have oily skin. So if anyone is interested. Check out the becca matte
primer. It’s the best and I’ve tried many.
What if you dilute the magnesium with glycerin? DIY face primer? Can you
review that?
I’ve seen two dermatologists, one in my late teens and the other in my

I stopped using MOM is was breaking me out
It looks like I won’t be trying this as a ‘natural’ deodorant. Thanks for
posting this!
For my fellow oily skin ladies…. I just wanted to add that I do the ACV

I like the video but it’s really out of focus.
Smart woman

before I draw/fill in brows) to help the brows I created to not become so
shiny throughout the day. Would putting it on such a small area of my face

Aaaahhhhh so disappointing…I’d rather be safe than sorry though! Thanks
for the info :D
Started using MoM 2 weeks ago and I love it!
Thank you so much for sharing!
Perfect ph is 7
Thank you for sharing! I struggle with acne and I was thinking about using
MoM. After watching your video, maybe I will stick to short mask times once
a week vs the every other day I was going to begin with!!!!
awesome!!! thanks for the info! I have oily skin but can’t seem to find any
primer suitable for my type of skin. Any suggestions will be greatly

Appreciate your comments but I’m an at stay home wife so I only use it on
Saturday and Sunday for primer only and it works great!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great video !!
In this case the darker your skin the less you’ll have to worry .
Black radiance primer is the best and it’s under 7 dollars at drugstores.
Great vid btw :)

dermatologist is what you need before putting something you’re not sure of
on your skin. If you don’t have the money for a visit, go th the library
for books on how skin works.
i knew this wouldnt work, if it was a great beauty product then dont u
think they would bottle it and sell it as that?? theres a reason they
dont.
I was about to buy the Milk of Magnesium till I decided to do a little
research. Glad I ran into your video! Thanks so much for the information!
I’ve tried so many primers and none help with my oily skin! :/
Hey!! Thanks so much..do you know if the damage will go away??
Thank you! This video really helped me!
Thank you for sharing! I used it on myself and didn’t like the way it made
my skin feel and since then I stopped. Good skin care routine, drink plenty
of water and eating will help control oil on ones face in addition to good
quality makeup products will help.
Thank you so much for posting this video. It’s very informational and
totally makes sense
Wow! Thank you so much, I was just about to start using this because I have
oily skin and I thought it would be good to try. Thank you soo much!
i was just watching you for the first time, i wanted to say
that God created a very beautful woman , god bless you.
and like your things you say.
If it’s bad what would you recommend to replace this as a primer?
How can I check the ph bal of my skin?
People should do research for any new idea. Thanks for sharing
