Aspirin Mask

Aspirin masks are far too irritating to use on my face, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE them for my legs, pre- and post-shaving. It totally clears up any razor bumps or ingrown hairs, and helps my shaves last for days (instead of mere hours). I made a pre-shave mask with ground up uncoated aspirins, honey, and glycerin. I let it sit on my legs a few minutes, then VIGOROUSLY rubbed it in with scrubby gloves right before shaving. After shaving, I used a home-made aspirin toner, with 70% alcohol and witch hazel, then moisturized with jojoba oil. My legs feel sooooooo smooth, even on the second and third days.

it works for the most part but it does make your face sensitive

good. cheap. easy.

Try this, it might work for you. I used this a lot before I started using Tea Tree Oil. I still use it as a spot treatment, actually and it dries up the pimples very quick! I crush mine with a knife. I use the flat side of the knife and push down on each pill. (don't bother trying to cut it vertically over and over) Then I leave it on for an hour or so, sometimes overnight :)

I have a terrible habit of popping pimples for too long. I just sit at my mirror and pick away at the smallest blemishes and then all of the sudden my whole face is red. This is obviously my fault lol. So at night, after my pimple fest is over, I only crush up one Aspirin with a few drops of water & do a spot treatment on my redness. After about 30 minutes, I rinse it off with hot water and then again with cold water. If anyone is expecting Kim Kardashian skin afterwards, you're a silly goose. In conclusion: for me, the redness goes away completely, and my pimple is usually gone/tamed by morning.

Its great! I still have pimples but its way better than before. Use HONEY IT! It lets it stick better and honey is good for your skin. DO NOT use it everyday but once or twice a week because you have a higher chance to get sunburned.

instead of going for some expensive exfoliator, use this. its worth it.

I tried an aspirin mask for the first time several months ago and loved the effect: reduces redness, deflates existing acne, preventative. I've incorporated it into a mask I already use that I find to be good for acne, and I wanted to share the recipe: 1) Combine an egg white (tightening) and a few drops of eucalyptus and tea tree oil in a bowl. If you'd like, whip it for a few minutes to thicken the egg white. 2) Crush a clove of garlic (I use a mortar and pestle) with powdered aspirin (I use Goody's powder aspirin with caffeine) 3) Combine the two in a container you can refrigerate. Add a tsp of honey (anti-bacterial) 4) If you'd like to thicken it for a nicer mask consistency, add up to 2 tsp of pectin (the kind of you don't need to heat) and let sit for 30 minutes. Advisory: Make sure to refrigerate this, because of the egg. I'm not sure how long it lasts but certainly don't go past 2 weeks with it in the fridge, and try to use it in a week. The crushed garlic lets off some fiesty fumes, and on the whole, the combo of egg, garlic and tea tree oil makes this a rather stinky mask. The smell washes off, but I have to keep my eye closed for a few minutes while this is on until the garlic fumes air off. I use this time to do some stretches :) I leave this on for about 15 minutes. I like using this mask all over the face because it both spot treats and helps to stave off any latent breakouts. This is a lifesaver for me when I'm ovulating or am pre-menstrual.

After using it my face was so clean and clear. It does clear up my black head on my nose within 2 days!! ALL GONE!!! but my pimple still no any changes. but it did reduces the size of my big acne.

This is the only product, prescription or otherwise that has cleared my sons acne and has improved his skin dramatically
