Aspirin Mask

[greeneyedangel]

I know your suppose to dissolve the aspirin in water and apply it to the face. I find this ends up crumbling everywhere. Is there something u mix with it to make it stick more?

I just tried this for the first time yesterday, and I had the same problem, I wasnt sure it was working either. I put 3 tablets in about a tbl spoon of acv and a tbl spoon of water, am i doing something wrong?

Alot of people mix is with honey and apply it to the face to make it stick better but i cant do that! That's too sticky for my liking!

 

[bunni]

i sometimes add it to my regular mask (freeman's avocado mask) or to the honey/plain yogurt. :icon_conf

I add enough water to form a thin paste, massage it in, then cover with the Queen Helen Mint Julep mask.

I take a little water, throw the aspirins in it and nuc in the microwave for a tad. I find it makes it easier to mix the two. Make sure it isn't too hot before putting on the face of course.

i try not to '' rub '' it on.. i kind of '' pat '' it on and it usually holds for the 10 minuites that i leave it on there. also i pat it on very thin..

I love mixing it with plain yogurt! Yogurt naturally contains lactic acid, which further helps exfoliate. It will also help bind the aspirin so it won't crumble all over the place.

Add 10-12 aspirin to a tablespoon of yogurt, let set until the aspirin start to crumble (about five minutes), mash with a spoon and apply it to clean skin. I'll keep this on for up to 20 minutes, then rinse off.

I've never tried the plain yogurt before with it. That sounds good. Thanks! I would be alittle careful though with 10 -12 aspirins as you should never go over the usually dose. It is transdermal into your skin.

Here's how I do it - I crush 5 plain asprins with a pill crusher. put it in a little bowl, put a few DROPS of water (let it roll off my fingers from the tap) that's hot, mix it up with my finger, then put aloe vera gel in it and mix it all up. Works great.

That's what I do and it seems crumbly but it stay on. I also use very little water. Sometimes I add too much and then I keep having to add asprins to it. You just have to play with it.

 

[Little_Lisa]

That's an excellent idea! I'm gonna give that a try. Thanx for the tip!

Btw, theres a greeneyedangel I've swapped with on MUA. Is this the same one by chance? Also, I've mixed aspriin in with moisturizer, that works too. But, I dont mind the crumbliness and sometimes do it with just water, it works just as well

Ditto on the yogurt. But I use it with my pure Vitamin C Powder.

 

[ewunia2]

I add a yogurt but sometimes I crush pills and add Juvit --> it is liquid vit.c.

I read on one of the other MUT posts that you can mix it with Origins Never A Dull Moment face scrub and kind of use it as a mask. The yogurt sounds good too.

Is it okay to use the coated aspirins? Not the "enteric" orange coating that protects your stomach but just the plain smooth coating that makes it easier to swallow. I can't find uncoated aspirins.

 

[LaurieAnne]

I use the white ones that say lightly coated, because thats all I can find, but they work just fine.

What's the benefit of using this mask?

 

[LaurieAnne]

For me, it smooths and exfoliates, and zaps all the redness and irritation, and helps with acne and blackheads. It really calms down my skin, its quite a nice and cheap discovery! :-D

How often would you recommend using it?
