Aspirin Mask

My recipie: 3 uncoated asprin (dollar tree store- $1.00 for 175 tablets) a few drops of honey (to make it stick and to give it a nice smell) a few drops of aloe vera gel (to moisturize) ^^ the aloe gel can also be subbed with extra virgin olive oil or jojoba oil Mix and leave on for 15 minutes. Wash off in circular motions. You could also use OB powder asprin. OB contains caffine which helps skin rejuvinate. Use a spf 30+ sunscreen after using this if going outside at all. The asprin speeds up cell turnover but also contains bha (beta hydroxy acid) or salicylic acid. This acid causes the skin to be sunburnt faster. If you dont wear sunscreen after using this, you can severely damage the emidermis and it may lead to premature aging. Good luck!

Does this help with comedonal acne or clogged pores? ive tried everything!

May not work for everyone, but it worked for me. I keep my acne (mostly comedonal) under control with Effaclar Duo and a consistent skincare regime, but i still have persistent bumps on my jaw line, hyperpigmentation from old spots and uneven skintone. I have blackheads (lots of them) on my nose, cheeks and forehead. I came across this aspirin mask with Michelle Phan's video a few years ago, and i tried it. Didn't saw significant improvements, but at that time i wasn't consistent with it. I tried again a few weeks ago, and i'm pleased. It really helps with inflammation, pigmentation and helps even out the skintone. I also notice a difference in my comedonal acne, The bumps are less and blackheads seems to be decreasing. I must say that along with once a week mask, i also started the aspirin tone, and OMG it has done wonders! Even my hyperpigmentation is improving significantly! I use 2 aspirins (500mg), a few drops of water to break the aspirins and honey to keep it all together and give extra benefits for the skin.

I often refrain from reviewing things online mostly due to my own dis belief about the efficacy of the product. I read a lot about aspirin mask on the Internet, watched a couple of reviews on YouTube and finally made up my mind to try it. Although i have quite mild acne vulgaris, I usually end up getting different types of acne - cysts, smaller ones and those that occur beneth the skin. I had moderate results from using benzoyl peroxide and accutane. I have tried aspirin on all types of acne and can confirm that it works well to reduce inflammation, redness on each types of it. If you suffer highly cystic acne then I suggest you have some patience and apply the mask or do a spot treatment atleast 3 times a week until it clears off. If you have sensitive skin then make sure you use an oil free cream after rinsing off the mask. Aspirin mask also helped with my acne scars a bit, they look 40% less visible than what they were before. If you're thinking whether or not to try it, I say give it a shot. Good luck people.

works pretty well as a toner/mask combo! Aspirin is actually a exfoliator when it is crushed up and used on the skin.and excellent for reducing whiteheads too.

The best mask I tried ever! My skin looks incredibly smooth all over, I only get very very occasional zits on the jawline and they are much less frequent than they used to be. It is the best thing I have ever done to reduce my pores! Now I don't have to spend hours on squeezing out my blackhead and worry about how dirty my skin looks, there are very few left to squeeze out, it's a miracle! How do I do it? I start with gently scrubbing my face with a fine baking soda powder (a great exfoliant!). I don't use soap at all on my face, I only clean in with fine baking soda. It prepares the stage for the aspirin mask. It's a greaqt combo, since baking soda has basic pH, which is not what you want for your acne skin. Acidic pH will prevent acne bacteria from growing! So I follow with aspirin mask (5 tablets of aspirin with few drops of water and honey as binder). Leave on for 10-15 min. It works as a gentle chemical exfoliant but leaves no sensation of stinging. I use the aspirin mask maybe 2-3 times a week, depending on how my skin is. If I don't apply it I use either vinegar or lemon juice diluted with water to bring my pH back in balance.

I've been using aspirin as a spot treatment whenever I have a nasty breakout. I found that after using this spot treatment, the top layer of skin that lies over the zit/whitehead gets dry and scabs over, so the blemish heals a LOT faster. If I used this spot treatment one night, then next day the blemish will have crusted over and on the following day, it'll have fallen off when I washed my face; this may vary with people. For the paste that I use, you'll need: -aspirin tablets (one is enough for my face, but you can use more tablets) -small bowl or plate -drops of warm water -Tea Tree Oil -cotton swab/Q-Tip --------------------------- 1.) Put the aspirin on the bowl/plate and put a couple of drops of warm water on top. 2.) Let the aspirin absorb the water; go wash your face during this time (I find that the treatment penetrates the layer of skin better when clean). 3.) Take your cotton swab/Q-Tip and dip it into some Tea Tree Oil. 4.) Use the soaked cotton swab to mash up the aspirin that has absorbed the warm water. The resulting aspirin mix should not be chalky, but not runny; mix more water if you need too, but remember that it should only be slightly thick. 5.) Use the cotton swab and apply the paste to blemishes. 6.) Leave the spot treatment on for 15 minutes then use warm water and lightly scrub your face in circular motions; the gritty texture of the aspirin will double as a mild exfoliant that will remove dead skin. 7.) Pat dry your skin and then moisturize. I use this spot treatment about twice a week. You can leave the treatment on for 30 minutes, 1 hour, or overnight. I personally left it on for max 30 minutes because I became slightly dizzy when I kept it on too long; this will differ from person to person, but if you feel slight nausea, wash it off. If you don't have Tea Tree Oil, you can just use the aspirin by itself; the TTO is just to reduce the bacteria on skin and help the a

- its CHEAP and it WORKS, i paid about $8.00 for a bottle of 500

Im trying it. Has not been very helpful in zit reduction, but the skin not dominated by a zit or bumps feels really smooth

I seriously tried everything, even scrubbing my face does not work! but now all i do every night is take two tablets place them on the bench and put three drops of water on the tablets, you will see how fast they desoplve i use my finger to apply the white sandy stuff all over (making sure my face is wet first) then i just leave it on untill i cannot handle sneezing anymore. i wipe it off with a damp face cloth but not washing it completly off. and no joke just doing this everyday have cleared up my face i actually have no pimples ! i dont even need to wear foundation anymore ! all i use is tinted pimple cream (just encase) IT IS TRUELY AMAZING.
