Aspirin Mask

I've tried the aspirin mask several & several times in the past 3 weeks. At first I used water, now I'm using Witch Hazel. I haven't gotten any new pimples since I've been using the mask & my face feels very smooth after every mask. So I will continue to use it.

I usually add a few drops of visin for red eyes. It helps reduce redness fast! This really works and is extremely cheap. I've been reading some comments and am definitely thinking about mixing in the honey. I have a few scars and am dying to get rid of them.

To do this properly you need to crush 3-5 Asprine with the back of a spoon and mix with aloe vera gel(98% pure min.) and pure honey. You leave it on for 15-20 min and can do this once to twice a day. You wash off with warm water and pat dry, as a moisturizer I use pure jojoba oil (doesn't evaporate like most water based ones and 'tricks' the skin into thinking it is producing enough oil, thus balancing oil production. The bottom line for us is that jojoba oil is non-comedogenic so we can use it without fear.) Twice a week I also steam my face for 5 min to open my pores and remove extra dirt and oil that is trapped in the skin. Since I have sensitive skin I put chamomile tea leaves in the water which acts as a anti-inflammatory agent. I hope this helps.

I put five crushed aspirin tabs in a tablespoon of honey and applied it like an exfoliator. The rough edges hurt and ended up making a scab bleed, so apply light pressure. I sat for 20 minutes and washed it off with warm water, pat dry. I didn't put anything on my skin afterward, because it was already hydrated from the honey. I noticed instantly that the redness had gone down, and the next morning my skin looked fresh and the redness had significantly reduced.

I've had bad skin for over twenty years and nothing has made me feel as happy as aspirin! I disolve 4 tablets in a little water and leave it on as a mask for twenty minutes every other night. My skin is smooth, my pores are mostly clean, but best of all i've a lot less cysts. Try it!

So I found out about this treatment through a person asking about it on Yahoo! Answers. I have had acne for years and also have psoriasis so my skin is so overly sensitive to everything. I got intrigued, came to this site and saw all the rave reviews and figured why not? I have used everything under the sun. And if things didn't take FOREVER to see some sort of result, products just wouldn't do a thing. And heck - aspirin is cheap! And wow ... did it work! Even as soon as I washed off the mask, my boyfriend just said, "WOW! Your skin is glowing!" My skin for the first time is so soft, feels clean and I don't even feel the need to wear makeup!

Works great.

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.

I was at first skeptic about using aspirin in your face... But after reading in several places about its effectiveness I had to give it a try. It works wonderfully, leaves your face SO smooth, my pores are almost invisible, my acne marks seemed lighter, my skin tighter... Give it a try! I'm gonna do this once or twice a week, since it's not recommended to do it very often.

DO IT THIS WAY!! I was getting irritated every time I used the aspirin mask because as soon as it dries on your face, the crushed aspiring starts "snowing" all over you. BUT , I've found a great way around this. Whether you use water or witch hazel (I use WH) to mix your aspirin, if you can put a squirt of honey in the mix as well. Don't worry, honey is not bad for your skin. I hear it's actually really great for it ! The honey makes it so the mask actually sticks to your face instead of snowing off onto your clothes lol.
