Some people do use Milk of Magnesia on there skin. After you wash your face, apply the milk all over, then your normal lotion. This helps oily skin.

This is a good question. Before considering any treatment you should consult your local doctor. Just because a treatment works well for someone else doesn't mean it will, or is even safe for you. If you have any allergies or reactions that you know of let your family doctor know.

Milk of Magnesia is used as a night treatment for people with oily skin, as it drys the skin. It can be used as a makeup primer for people with oily skin. It shouldn't be used on people with combination skin, as it can result in a dry, flaky complexion.

The only thing it is really good for is if you have an acid reflux problem with your stomach. And if you put it on your skin all it is going to do for you is make your skin very gritty and sticky to the touch.
