Cons:

I heard about this practical remedy from a wise old timer in a conversation once. I was amazed at the results when I tried it! It is as simple as it is effective! Follow these easy steps and see for yourself! 1. With the bottom of a spoon, crush 4-5 non-coates aspirin in a small dish or bowl. 2. Add a tiny bit of warm water and mix the aspirin powder into a thick paste. 3. Mix a little bit of local honey into the paste. Honey is a natural emollient and anti-microbial which has been used for centuries to calm problemed skin. Honey also helps to work in the powerful benefits of the aspirin's acetysalysilic acid into the skin, the active ingredient which sloughs off dead skin cells and heals blemishes. 4. Apply to face and spread the paste out as a mask, avoiding the eye area. Gently rub the aspirin granules into the skin. This exfolliates the dead skin cells responsible for clogging sebum in the pores, which cause pimples in the first place. 5. Wait 10-20 minutes. Wash the mask off with warm water and pat dry your face. You will notice in a few hours an improvement in the clarity of your skin, less redness and a reduction in the size of pimples. If you use this mask twice a week, you will see a dramatic change in the severity of your breakouts! Try it! It speaks for itself.

Pros:

Cheap, easy to use, clears pimples overnight, makes skin feel soft and smooth

Cons:

None!!

The aspirin mask is great! I use it every night before bed if I am having bad breakouts. I crush 2 aspirin in warm water and add a few drops of aloe vera gel, which helps soothe my skin. I apply it with a cotton ball and go to sleep. The next morning, my pimples are smaller, less red and my skin feels great! I would definitely recommend this.

Pros:

Cheap, easy, works pretty good.

Cons:

Not very pleasent to use

It flatten the bumps on my face, made the big zits a lot smaller and less red, skin feels nice soft and smooth after BUT I really wouldnt recommend to go to bed with it or to use too much... I woke up with the worst nausea EVER and just feeling sooo bad and sick.. Bassicely you get some kind of small aspirin overdose so be carefull! But it truly is a good fast way to make your skin look better.

Pros:

Decreases redness and size of all types of pimples
Cheap!
Fast results
Helps with oily skin

Cons:

Made me sneeze when used as a mask without honey
May dry skin if you have normal/dry skin to begin with

I LOVE this! I've heard of it forever but finally decided to try it after a facial I got from a spa made me break out worse then ever. I went to Walmart and bought the 500 pack of lightly coated asprin(was imitation of BAYER) Came home, dissolved it with a few drops of water and put about a tsp of honey with it. Left it on for about 20 minutes, and scrubbed my face while taking it off. Next day I had almost no zits, and the remaining were tiny. 2 days later, literally zero, and not only that but my normally VERY OILY face wasn't as bad! Using this now in the shower daily without the honey, and doing the mask once a week and my face is the best its ever been. No zits, much much less oil, and more confidence. If you haven't already, try this!

Pros:

cheap, easy, fast, works great

Cons:

a little messy

It made my skin super soft and very bright and glowing. Its a great way to exfoliate, tone, soften, clear skin, and shrink pores. I would recommend it to anyone that washes their face in any way because its so cheap and easy and works for everything. Be sure to test your skin before you use it for sensitivity. Just put a little dab on your chin line for 15 minutes and wait for at least a day to make sure it doesn't give you a rash.

Pros:

-Soft and glowing skin
-Lessens severity of pimples

Cons:

I didn't have dry skin like others did...I think the honey really helped my skin

I had a major breakout yesterday and my skin was so dry, and my makeup just came off my face... I mixed 3 aspirins with a tablespoon of honey and couple drops of rose hip oil I was planning on washing it off but I fell asleep My skin is glowing!!! literally! If only I had used it the day before :( I didn't get dry skin like most people had said...Though my skin was dry before I used the mask, I guess when I exfoliated with the mask, it got rid of the dryness Hope this helped :)

Pros:

Incredibly cheap
Really works.
Removed my scaly, peeling skin
Helps with acne

Cons:

It might dry out your skin if used alone. (Just add a little bit of honey and that's fixed, and also moisturize after :))

My face was peeling pretty bad. Almost as much as when I used Panoxyl. I used this and it actually removed the peeling skin (most of it) Here's what I do: Look for **uncoated** aspirin (it's uncoated unless it states on the bottle "Coated") or one that has a micro-thin coating (what I have). It will dissolve faster if it's uncoated or has a very thin coating. Get some honey. I just use my trusty ol Great Value Clover Honey. It's cheap. I take 4 aspirin tablets and put them in a small bowl (small plate.. whatever you can find that's CLEAN) I add a few drops of water. Let them dissolve for a few seconds. Then, I add a little more water to make a semi-thick paste. (kinda like Elmer's glue) Then, add a little bit of honey to the mixture. Mix it together with your fingers. It may look like a little, but trust me, it's enough :) Next, spread it on your face GENTLY. It will be gritty, so gentleness is key. After that, I grab a paper towel and place it on my shirt like a bib so the mask can drip as it pleases and so I can walk/move around as I please. I leave it on for however I feel like. I've left it on for several hours before. I recommend leaving it on for at least 10-15 minutes. Then, close your eyes (you don't want that grit in your eyes.. Trust me) and GENTLY rinse off with your hands or with a paper towel or a wash cloth. Just remember, GENTLY. When your done, pat dry GENTLY (just do everything gently... Okay?) with a towel or paper towel. Just make sure it's clean. Or, air dry. Afterward, apply moisturizer gently (there's that word again....) I recommend using this mask once a week. No longer. I've been told your skin will grow tolerant if you use it more often, and we don't want that.. Do we? This mask has worked wonders for me, I hope it will do the same for you. Good luck:)

Pros:

It works!!

Cons:

None

I have literally tried everything going for 'problem skin' and NOTHING has worked as well as this. I was a bit nervous at first I was worried it might dry out my skin too much, cause a breakout or that i'd have a bad reaction to it. But thanks to all the messages on here I got the guts to try it and i'm so glad I did. It's not an overnight miracle worker, you're spots ain't gonna disappear overnight, but if you stick with it, doing it about 2 or 3 times a day after only a few days spots are reduced a lot and no new spots will appear. I've been doing it for just over 2 weeks now and I have no spots just red scarring but even that is fading to the point where you can't see them under make-up. I am soooooo happy I tried this, I would recommend it to everyone. Just wish I'd heard about it before I spent hundreds on other 'miracle cures'!!
