Aspirin Mask

I have extremely oily skin and have scars all over my face. I used to get horrible acne all the time and I was so depressed about it. I've been using proactive since I was 15 and that's never done anything drastic. I'm 19 years old now, and I heard about the aspirin mask and I decided to try it out. I have been using it for 5 months now and my skin has done a total 360. My mask consists of 4 aspirins, Calamine lotion ( a couple drops and the aspirins dissolve without water) and a drop of honey. This may not be the best idea for everyone, but my skin is so oily, my skin VERY VERY rarely ever gets dry, but I put the mask on before I go to bed every night. It gets on my pillow but It doesn't bother me because when I wake up my skin looks better than the night before. I also put one on in the mourning and leave it on for 10 minutes. Again, this shouldn't be done by anyone though because it could dry your skin bad. Definitely try my mask with the calamine lotion and honey. It does wonders!

This really works. As in, like nothing I have used. Retin-A, Retin-A Micro, Differin, Tazorac, Clindamycin, Finacea, ProActiv, Murad, Clean & Clear, Minocycline, Clinique.. the list goes on. The aspirin mask is so ridiculously simple. It irritates me that I hadn't tried it sooner! I take 4 uncoated aspirin, a splash of rosewater toner, and a bit of honey and spread it all over my face. I leave it for about 15-20 minutes. All of the whiteheads, blackheads, and cysts are gone. I used to have the kind of acne where makeup couldn't cover it because it was just downright bumpy.. not the case anymore. The results are immediate. For some reason I didn't get nearly as good results with just aspirin- the honey is very important.

just not sure how the codeine and caffeine in these pills would affect the skin?

There are many ways of making an aspirin face mask, my 'recipe' includes crushing 5-6 lightly coated pills with the end of a chopstick in a tiny dish with a few drops of green tea (better than water, & helps the aspirin dissolves faster) and after that adding a few drops of natural honey (helps soothe the skin and acts as a glue to keep the aspirin powder from falling off when its dried) I use this 2-3 times a day, sometimes more, sometimes less depending on how much I need it. I leave it on for 20-30 minutes, then rinse off and during the rinsing process I scrub the powder against my skin for natural exfoliation. I don't reccomend doing this every single day since over scrubbing can dry the skin which leads to the sebaceous glands to produce more oil, leading to more acne. This treatment leaves my face feeling fresh and soft, and in the long-run helps keep acne at bay.

1) Take around 2-3 tablets of aspirin. 2) Sprinkle drops of water on the aspirin, if you use too much water, it will become too mushy.3). Add 2 squirts of Honey onto the aspirin and mix together. Honey contains enzymes thats been proven to heal the skin. It helps to restore and rejuvenate the skin making it appear younger and softer and smoother.If you are allergic to honey, use aloe vera or just stick with plain aspirin. 5)Now, start applying the entire mixture on your face. Leave it 10-15 MINUTES. After, wash this cleanser off your face. As you are washing it off, take advantage of the grainy texture of the aspirin and exfoliate your skin. This will get the dead skin cells off your face, and polish your skin to leave it glowing.I promise you, RIGHT WHEN YOU WASH THIS OFF, YOU WILL FEEL A MAJOR DIFFERENCE ON YOUR SKIN! 6) TONER - toner with no alcohol is much better than toner that contains alcohol.7) MOISTURIZE - moisturizer thats oil free and contain's spf!

It might work? :) Go for it. You never know what'll work for you. And it's cheap :D

It's possible that it would work if I could manage to keep it on for longer. But as it is, it's so flaky that it falls off just from moving around.

I heard about the aspirin mask and tried it. An I gotta say it's the best thing ever! My skin was really bad and nothing worked for me. I crush up the aspirin mix it in baby cream and apply it every night before I go to bed. After a couple of days my skin was cleared up ... it's awesome!

I have used it for my cystic/harmonal acne. I haveused lemon juice and crushed aspirin and when I apply it topically and leave it for 30 min, it reduces the inflammation and reduces the size of the acne . I usually repeat it daily and I have noticed that it does not leave a deep scar/mark.

An aspirin mask is a great way to 1. dry out a pimple & 2. reduce inflammation of a pimple. It doesn't rid the pimple entirely but it helps somewhat. It's worth a try at the very least. Remember to only use uncoated aspirin when making a mask.
