No, no, no! This is not a new diet plan so don't panic!
For this weeks’ Wedding Wednesday post I am going
to continue on my wedding beautification kick. Like I mentioned in last
weeks’ post, the October issue of Brides Magazine has a full article
that is devoted to a year of changes so that
brides can look their absolute best before they walk down the aisle.
Although at this far out most of the advice is
geared toward revamping your diet and exercise regime and learning how
to do you make-up and events; I feel like my skin needs some love!
My skin falls in to the oily and acne prone skin
type. I have often felt that dry skin would be easier to deal with but
alas oily is it (Thanks Mom and Dad!) So in an effort to make my skin
look like I just walked off a photo shoot, I have
done a little bit of research and taken some suggestions from my family
and come up with my next facial experiment:
Milk of Magnesia
Yes friends, you heard correctly! Not only does
this help things move along in your G.I. track but it can also help
tighten your skin and draw out oil from your pores!
So for the next few weeks I am going to have a
weekly M of M mask and see how things go. You could do this twice a week
but with the cooler temperatures and my already oily skin I don’t want
to dry it out too much. Drying skin out too much
with cause it to over-react and produce even more oil! And that is
definitely not what I want.
If you want to know more about the why’s and how’s of milk of magnesia’s effectiveness for oily skin Live Strong (http://www.livestrong.com/article/78151-milk-magnesia-treatment-acne/) has a really great information page!
And last but definitely not least, a bottle will
run you about $6, a far cry from $50 which is how much some creams cost!
That means that you can take that extra money and upgrade your cake
flavors!
Until tomorrow readers!
