“I’ve been using Phillips’s Milk of Magnesia as my primer for years,” Lasaundra Lasker, an aesthetician and skin therapist at Ulta Beauty, told TODAY.com.”It keeps oil at bay and helps set your makeup so it lasts longer.”
To use it, apply a very thin layer of the milk on your skin several minutes before applying makeup as usual. Some people also use it as a face mask, applying a layer to the skin, letting it dry completely, and then removing it with warm water.
