    I'm not sure about this as a mask, but as a primer it sucks! It literally sucked all of the oil out of my face (and I was wearing moisturizer). My face was a dry, itchy mess! It felt like I was...

    This is even weirder than using Jojoba oil to clean my face. What's next? Rolaids as eyeshadow? I've never used MOM ever, for anything, so I had to buy a bottle. I didn't even know it was for...
