milk of magnesia

[vassargirl]

at night i take a Q-tip and line my lower eye lash with milk of magnesia and this seems to calm the swelling/redness by morning. my oc rosacea is mild tho'--perhaps because of all the precautions i take (diet/no makeup, etc).

milk of magnesia may somehow kill demodex, though there's scant info per my research to support this, but a few sites.

it's one of the few things that calms my skin flares as well--i spot treat. it's very drying yet soothing. hope this helps someone.

My parents just came back from visiting relatives in Bogota, Colombia. They told me taht the wife of my uncle gets very red when she is in her kitchen which is very hot. she was told she has rosacea. they told me that when she gets ready to go cook she puts on her face milk of magnesium to help her. i had never heard of this and now you post this? well i need to give it a try then.

Thanks.
