Aspirin Mask

this may just be me because i think i have always had a sensitivity to salicylic acid...but this mask gave me a break out..perhaps its more of a purging? but i wont be doing it again...im sure that it will def help others who may not purge with sa..i know it was due to the mask cuz i only applied it around my chin, cheek and nose area just to see how my skin reacted and what do u know? 2 weeks later i had a breakout in those same areas...oh well. :(

this is great, really save my money from buying that all expensive-non-working-acne-cosmetics! this is what i do : 1. take 5 pills of aspirin 2. 1 teaspoon of plain yoghurt 3. 1 teaspoon of honey 4. mix them and use as a mask ! try it !

When I first started doing the aspirin mask 3x a week, I thought that my acne had been cured! I was so ecstatic, but after a year it stopped working. Then I started mixing aspirin with my cleanser and washing my face with aspirin every night. Even that stopped working after a while. Now that I think about it, I've become tolerant to every product I've tried - Proactiv, aspirin, Neutrogena, etc. etc. Aspirin works great for mild acne. Now my cystic acne has gotten so bad that I'm on antibiotics and Ziana. My acne is hormonally induced, so I don't think anything topical is really gonna do anything. I'd recommend aspirin mask for mild acne. It's dirt cheap and exfoliating. I even read that beta-hydroxy acid (aspirin) reverse aging of the skin! (Maybe that's why my face has gotten firmer and plumper?)

I have been battling acne for 25 years. I have tried everything out there. Even two courses of Accutane. I have never seen faster results than with this simple solution. Aspirin is AMAZING! Here's what I do. I buy the large bottle of Aspirin from Target. I use a coffee grinder to grind the pills into a powder. If you can't do that, buy the uncoated aspirin so you can dissolve them in a few drops of water. I mix the powder with pure aloe gel, honey and some tea tree oil. Aloe is healing, honey is antibacterial and it helps keep the paste from becoming crumbly and last the tea tree oil is great at fighting the bacteria too! I can easily leave this on my face as a spot treatment all day or night. I use the mask 2-5 times per week as I need it. It also makes an amazing scrub when you wash off the mask. Your skin will feel so soft! Note: Make sure you use raw honey, and a good quality tea tree oil from a health food store. This mixture goes a long way too! Good luck!

cheap and effective so well worth a try!

I am 29 years of age and for the first time in my life I had terrible acne, after using proactive and other meds this home remedy worked like a charm. I used it for four days and began to see amazing improvements on my face. Warning to proactive users this causes you to break out more and takes a while before it works, then skin becomes dependent on it, unlike the asprin with aloe. I found that mixing the aloe with the asprin made my skin very soft and not dried out.

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 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?

its good. i must say.but can somebody tell me the RIGHT mixture? i use honey n water n bout 4 crushed aspirin. one teaspoon of both honey n water. is it alot? or is it supposed to be pasty??? botttom line. id say. GO FOR IT.

Try it! You have no reason not too. It seems crazy to try well at least I thought I thought it weird. but it works so good. proactive didn't work for me at all and I was so mad so I decided not to buy anything else until go to the dermatologist (which isn't for a month or two) so I went with aspirin and let me tell you if your looking for something inexpensive and something that works..one word...ASPIRIN !!
