Like Em, I apply my moisturizer/sunscreen and then apply Milk of M all over my face with a cotton pad or sometimes I use my fingers.
Jessica, no I don't ;)

It might turn white after you apply it when drying, kind of like dried toothpaste. Just rub it with your fingers gently and it'll disappear right away! Enjoy! I freaking love this stuff.

@Patricia: I was considering it as well, but after I did some research and found out that it can cause some issues with the skin (contact dermatitis, increased acne, etc)
It's main ingredients are: magnesium hydroxide and sodium hypochlorite and has a pH level of 10.5. It also contains a small amount of bleach.
I mean if you'd like to try, it does help mattify the skin, but personally I don't think the risks are worth it.
