One of my aunts has always had beautiful skin. She is very pretty in general and dresses well and has great manners. She is one of those people that you want to spend time with. I remember as a little girl I would always want to sit by her a family gatherings because she had a way of making you feel good about yourself. My mom always said that this aunt had many beauty secrets that she used to keep her skin looking so nice. One day I asked my mom if she knew any of the beauty secrets that my aunt had. She told me that I would have to ask my aunt.

One Sunday afternoon when I was about thirteen years old we were visiting with this aunt. I had some acne on my chin and forehead. I asked my aunt if she had any beauty secrets that could help me with my complexion. She laughed and took me in her bedroom and showed me that she washed her face very well every morning and evening with soap and water. Then she would put on face cream. She said that her main beauty secrets were to always keep your skin clean and to have your best smile on your face when you put on your make up each morning. As a thirteen year old I thought this was silly.

This aunt continues to be my favorite. She is getting quite elderly now, but she still has very nice skin and people still enjoy spending time with her. There are many times when I am putting on my make up in the morning that I remember her comment about having your best smile on when you are getting made up for the day. It took me several years to realize that she is right. Her beauty secrets are being friendly, smiling at everyone and truly listening to others when they are talking. Her beauty comes from within. She genuinely likes people and cares about each person that she is talking to. This is why it is so pleasant to be around her. The glow to her complexion comes from her inner spirit, not some beauty secrets that you can buy in the store.

When I look at fashion magazines or see advertisements on television about different skin care products or make ups I am rarely convinced to purchase anything. I think the main reason is the lack of personality, warmth or caring that the models portray. My aunt is not beautiful by most standards, but I think she would be able to sell beauty secrets to anyone by her winning personality.

 “Beauty Products”

When we think of beauty care products, Milk of Magnesia does not usually come to mind, but it should. I keep a bottle of the magnesia with my beauty products because it is the best thing to use for healthy pores that I have come across over the years. I have tried many products that claim to leave your skin flawless, but the only thing that really works is milk of magnesia. I don’t even use the name brand. The generic product works just as well.

I discovered the beauty secret while reading a biography about a silent film actress. Her biographer attributed the actress’s flawless complexion to her unusual beauty care products, including milk of magnesia. The actress had beautiful skin well into her mature years and she claimed that the magnesium in her unique beauty care product left her skin radiant and she claimed that it slowed the aging process as well. Form the looks of her photograph; it seemed as if it worked wonders for her skin. She looked decades younger than she was. Tyra Banks has also raved about using milk of magnesia on one of her shows, and swears that it gives her flawless skin , even under the warmest weather.

I decided to try the silent film star’s unusual beauty care product and I was amazed at the results. I have tried a number of pore reducing and pore clarifying products over the years, but none have given the immediate positive results I have found when I use milk of magnesia as a beauty mask. My pores literally disappear. There is no trace of a single blackhead and the breakouts that harsh pore reducing products cause are not an issue.

Using milk of magnesia as a beauty care product may seem very odd, but it is worth a try. You will be amazed at the results. I have been using the product for years. I recently discovered that the milk of magnesia contains magnesium. Magnesium is a natural element that is effective in drawing impurities out of your skin. The word magnesium comes from the Greek word meaning “magnet” and the word fits.
If you want to use a beauty care product that is all natural and does not leave your skin raw or blemished, consider adding milk of magnesia to your beauty care products. You simply use a cotton ball to apply the product on your face and wait for it to dry. Once your skin feels tight, rinse your face and you will be left with glowing skin and your pores will virtually disappear. As far as the anti-aging qualities of the beauty care product, I can’t tell for sure. I have to wait a few years to make sure the results are the same for me as for the silent film star.
