Guest james11 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Mate SA is not an anti-inflammatory. Inflammation is an immune response, not just blood coming to the surface. The body sends out several things to combat the injured/affected cells/area. Salicylic Acid breaks down dead skin cells on a cellular level, it's a form of exfoliation.

Guest james11 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Yeah but Aspirin thins blood when taken orally. We're talking topical application. I don't know how the SA is going to thin out supposed excess levels of blood on the skin?? If you had dry blood it would wash it off, but inflammation under the skin just being blood and the SA calming it down. I'm struggling to make sense of that, but it could just be me!

natuerwild 0 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Well, the bottom left, or bottom right of the box, should say it or not. The ones I used were Micro-coated. Wasn't a problem, they still dissolved easily with just a few drops of water. TRy using the search feature to find the aspirin thread. Hm... I read the box around 4-5 times and cant spot the word "coat".. Assuming it's coated, so I just take a few drops of water, pour over 3-4 tablest and then crush them to become a powder. Then I apply them to my whole face or just the marks? And for how long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionQueen 40 Share Posted November 6, 2005 I read about this in Elle or someplace. It isn't a miracle cure, just a cheap and easy salicylic acid source (good for exfoliation). On the other hand, considering how much I've spent on my skin in the past year, there's nothing wrong with cheap and easy.Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
