Have Oily Skin, Pimples, Dark Spots. Milk Of Magnesia Helpful, From Where To Buy?
hi doctor, i am anu from India (Bangalore) my skin is oily and also have few pimples and some dark spot. by evening my skin shines because of oiliness. i have seen a video in youtube about milk of magnesia in a bottle. I am searching here in my state but of no use. Can you please suggest me any pharmacy where i can buy milk of magnesia? does it suits my skin? Thanking you anu
Hi Anu,
Milk of magnesia is magnesium hydroxide which is basically used as an antacid( something like digene or mucaine gel). Frankly as a dermatologist i would not suggest it for the skin problems you have mentioned as it would hardly be of any help to you. What I gather is that you basically need a good skin care regime suiting an oily skin. Cleansing, toning(optional) and moisturising is the rule. Firstly, use a good face wash meant for oily skin or acne prone skin( containing salicylic acid). If using a toner(avoid it in winters), use an alcohol free one then follow it with a water based moisturiser(as they are specifically meant for oily skin). One should always use a good sunscreen as it will prevent further occurence of dark spots. For your skin use a sunscree in gel base. Make it a point to atleast wash your face thrice in a day. drink good amount of water, eat fruits and stay happy and healthy. Take care.
