Aspirin Mask

I knew Aspirin was made of salicylic acid which is an agent needed to move deep down in the pores to dry out/kill bacteria, and I'd heard of benefits of mixing it with SD 40% Alcohol to beat acne. However, last week I just decided to disolve 2 aspirin with a few drops of witch hazel and mix with my normal facial wash gel, using circular movements. I've been doing it for one week now, and my face is so much clearer. My acne was quite painful and red, and though it only occurs in certain area's, it's persistent and aggressive looking. For one week now, I have had no bumps on my face, and little ones that try to rise are so dry, they flake off to nothing. I do my regime morning and night and also do a honey mask on its own once a week to rejuvinate my skin with antioxidants. My skin is just glowing, I love it!!

I have a ton of acne and have had it for over 7 years now. A few weeks ago, I looked up the aspirin mask and the ingredients and decided what the heck. Wow. In just two weeks, my skin looks so much better. I had gone home mid-August, pre aspirin mask, and returned last weekend, where my family noticed a huge difference. My skin feels so much better, looks more even, and reduces zit size. I just take three non-coated aspirin in a soup spoon, add a dime size amount of honey, and a few drops of water, wait for it to dissolve and put it on my face. I leave it on for about 15 minutes and then exfoliate it off. I do this every 2 to 3 days in place of my usual cleanser at night.

I used this for the first yesterday. I was skeptical but decided I had nothing to lose. I crushed 6 generic, non-coated aspirin in a bowl and mixed it with about half a tablespoon of water. It made just enough paste to cover my face. It felt grainy and had an uneven consistency. Next time, I'll try to find another way to crush the aspirin. I applied the paste to my face and left it on for 10 minutes, as this was my first time and I wasn't sure how my face would react. I found the mixture hard to wash off, and when it was all gone, I still felt like there was a residue left. My face also felt dry. My face was very red and I could tell where the larger chunks of the mixture was because that area was more aggravated. I washed my face with my normal face wash, used my toner, and applied a moisturizer. My face felt softer after my normal routine and blemishes were smaller, but the redness remained for quite some time. If you're trying this for the first time, do it before bed.

its a good and cheap product to use,face becomes brighter.don;t know how much it will help the red acne scars

This is by no means a miracle mask but you can definitely see improvement after the first mask. I take between 5-10 aspirin tablets with a few drops of water and let them dissolve. I then mix in a little honey for the hydrating effects and because honey contains glycolic acid, and also some sour cream because it contains lactic acid. Yogurt works too, I just figured sour cream probably has more lactic acid in it since it has been soured. I then leave it on for 30 minutes and then gently exfoliate as I remove it. Try it, you will fall in love with it too!

I have only used it once and i absolutely loved it.My face felt sooo soft right after and still the next morning.Also a few of my breakouts had reduced in size(AWESOME)and looked less red.Also i think its cool to mix it with other things but i just kept it simple asprin and water.I took about 15 tablets crushed them up and added 4 or 5 drops of water and it made the perfect paste.One question for anyone should i apply this everyday or like once a week?

This has worked really well for me. I now use it almost daily to keep my complection under control. I just crush up 6-8 dispersible aspirin tablets, mix a few drops of water at a time until I have a paste, then I spread it carefully over the problem areas (forehead, cheeks and chin) then I carefully and slowly rub it in. I allow it to dry for about 15 minutes, then rinse with warm water (don't scrub off). The main thing I've noticed is that any small bumps under the skin are greatly reduced or completely disappear, redness goes down, my skin is much less oily afterwards and my skin feels fresh and smooth. Even on active spots, the infalmmation and overall size is reduced until they quickly dry up and peel off. All in all this is the most effective method of acne treatment I've found and it's so cheap. I don't find it too overdrying, but it probably would be for people with really sensitive skin or people who use a lot of BP gel.

This is amazing and so cheap! I wish I had given it a try a year ago when my adult cystic acne began to surface; then I would not have some of the ice pick scars. In the begining I used it every day especialy on active acne and to my surprise it shrunk it in size healed it and left no scar! I would alternate the mask with water, honey or a gentle cleanser. Left it on for 15 min.I always moisturized my skin with jojoba oil afterwards. The asprin may dry your skin a bit and you don't want oil production to increase on your face so the jojoba oil(very little) would keep my face balanced. I saw improvements the very next day. GIve it a try. I have tried so many product out there and drastically chaned my eating habits but nothing is as consistant and provided positive results as the ASPRIN MASK.

i love this stuff!!! after everything i have used on my skin, this is the only thing that has worked from day 1. i use 7 non coated aspirins with about 2 or 3 drops of water and 3 drops of honey. leave on for 30 minutes and there you go soft clear skin and then when i wake up it looks amazing. the best thing i have used on my skin. and i can get like 50 tablets of aspirin for like 96 cents!!!

I have suffered from a very severe form of acne for years now and nothing has worked with much consistency. The RX's out there just wouldn't work. I came across this when researching black eye cures for a friend and decided to try it. My skin hasn't looked this good in over ten years! I vary of my mixture from what I've read...I use castor oil, honey, flax seed, and mix these with the aspirin. I found that the most pleasant result came from crushing the aspirin and flax seed using a mortar and pestle then adding in the "wet" ingredients in equal pasts. It's great and none drying when mixed with the caster oil (which is packed with omega 3 and 6). Bottom line, if you are like me... there wasn't anything else that worked... what do you have to lose but the blemishes??
