Aspirin Mask

Aspirin works so well on inflamed pimples because it helps to calm it down :) I did have one that was coming (could feel it and it was red that area) and I put aspirin on it last night and this morning I could still see it but the bump was somewhat reduced. When its time to wash off it acts as a great exfoliator, so basically this mask leaves your skin less infected, less red and smoother :)

I love this mask!! Ive been suffering with acne for 6 years or so and have tried EVERYTHING to help my face. this is the first thing that has worked and has continued to work even after a month of use. my pores looked instantly clean after use. my skin feels great. i recommend this for anyone with acne.

I use this product multiple ways. At first I was just using it as a mask, crushing up 3-4 pills and mixing them with honey. This method was making my acne smaller and less noticeable. Also making my skin feel smooth. When scrubbing off the mask, the asiprin becomes an exfoliating scrub. For the last three days I have been mixing a few pills with my benzo cream and leaving it on over night. It seems to rub off by morning, but my face was more clear than I have seen in awhile yesterday. I'm going to keep trying it... and hope to get even better results!

I dissolve four aspirin in a tablespoon, then add a few drops of honey. I gently rub the paste onto entire face - leave on for 20 minutes. As I remove, I gently exfoliate. I've been doing this daily for roughly 2 weeks now and my skin is smoother, brighter, and 'clean' looking. I'll continue with the daily use until I feel mild breakouts are under control - then I'll decrease usage to 3 or 4 times/week. Great mask!

I used 2 300mg pills. I dropped some water on them and they dissove easily. However, i have difficulty to spread them evenly on my face. When it dried, the powder start to fall off when i twitch my face. However the effect so great, my face glow and pimples dries up.My face felt squeaky clean. I will use it every other day..

I use this as a scrub and as a mask. Well, I was using this daily as a scrub, as my skin is very oily. During this time, my acne was very limited. However, I got some face wash from a friend I decided to try for awhile in it;s place.. disaster! More pimples than ever. I finally figured out it MUST be the lack of the aspirin in my regime a month into this acne disaster, and it's finally calming down. I've been putting the masks on my cysts, and it shrinks them a lot. Usually they last for a few weeks. One was popping up and now it's barely noticeable. :)

instead of going for some expensive exfoliator, use this. its worth it.

I looove this mask sooo much. After trying every OTC product out there (proactive, acnefree, nuetrogena, clean and clear, you name it) it's a little embarrassing to know that a $3 pack of 300 aspirin tablets from Walmart works better than a $40 3-step regimine that sucked! I haven't tried honey with it yet, because my mom doesn't want me using her expensive organic honey, but when I get some and start using it, I'll review again. I did use aloe, (well, it was Aftersun aloe gel, dunno if that counts) but it didn't really bonus anything, so I went back to plain old water. I'm hoping using honey will make it less likely to fall of my face and cause me to sneeze. USE IT! It's so cheap and effective....I don't know why that this home remedy isn't MUCH mire common...it makes no sense. People know more about the toothpaste zit remedy (Which is BS) then they do about this. A shame, really.

Obviously, do not use on skin suffering from eczema, allergic reaction, cold sores. I love the aspirin mask, and I incorporate it into my regular routine about 5 times a week. I use it at night before I go to sleep. I like to soften about 10 pills (I also use this for my neck and chest) in water, apple cider vinegar or lemon juice to make a thick paste (I place my pills in a tiny bowl and use just enough vinegar or lemon juice to barely cover the pills), then add enough honey to make the paste thinner and more manageable. I apply all over to my face post-cleansing, leave on for 10-20 minutes, then rinse off and apply any skin care/acne product. If your skin is dry, you may want to use yogurt instead of apple cider vinegar, water or lemon juice, then add honey. As a spot treatment, I will soak the pills in a bit of vodka (enough to make a medium paste) and apply them to individual blemishes- but DO NOT apply this all over your face (it's VERY strong- I started out about 1 minute at first, now I can leave it on for about 20). Apply this to individual blemishes ONLY, and wash off after 1-20 minutes (start out with a minute or two, work your way up to longer). The active ingredient- Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) is most soluble in alcohol, so using rubbling alcohol or vodka makes this a MUCH stronger product. You can use rubbing alcohol, but I prefer to use vodka (IMHO, it's been less irritating to my skin).

Try this, it might work for you. I used this a lot before I started using Tea Tree Oil. I still use it as a spot treatment, actually and it dries up the pimples very quick! I crush mine with a knife. I use the flat side of the knife and push down on each pill. (don't bother trying to cut it vertically over and over) Then I leave it on for an hour or so, sometimes overnight :)
