Skin Care Tip: Milk of Magnesia quiets pimples

I have a bad habit of squeezing pimples and blackheads and often end up with horrible red bumps because the bump is not "ready". I keep a bottle of unflavored Milk Of Magnesia under the sink in the bathroom and place a dab on the angry spot. As long as MOM is there, I have found, the irritation is minimal. Also, I have large pores and I sometimes apply a thin layer of MOM under my makeup to make my pores appear more refined. I hope this helps someone.
