Spot-on advice?
Dr. Sasha Haddad is sharing three hacks she’s learned since becoming a family medicine physician, including how to prevent acne after a sweaty workout session.
“I see so many uses for it,” Dr. Sheilagh Maguiness, a dermatologist and president of the Society for Pediatric Dermatology , told CBS News in May. “After the gym, after sweating, they can use it just to gently spray on their face and boom, they’ve cleansed (and) haven’t needed a sink.”
Applying the substance to the skin “appears to be well tolerated and safe, without any major adverse events reported,” study authors wrote in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology.
“Dimethicone is gentle and non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores), making it an effective and safe moisturizing ingredient for use by all skin types on the face and body,” board-certified dermatologist Mark Strom told NewBeauty in May .
The cicaplast balm also contains vitamin B5 (moisturizes), shea butter (soothes), glycerin (hydrates) and madecassoside (nourishes).
Magnesium citrate for constipation
Magnesium citrate — sold under the brand name Citroma — treats constipation by drawing water into the bowels to soften stool, so it’s easier to move.
Sara Barthel, a clinical nutritionist and functional medicine health coach, suggests taking 400 milligrams of magnesium citrate at night.
Up that dose by 200 milligrams until you experience loose stool, then taper off, Barthel told Forbes .
Side effects include allergic reactions that can cause a rash, confusion or drowsiness from too much magnesium, diarrhea, nausea, stomach pain and vomiting.
