If you have very oily skin you can also mix the apirin with egg whites.

I kind of just pat it on, and then when i take it off i rub it and use it as a scrub

Using 100% salicylic acid product is toxic to skin but dont worry coz the acid in the aspirin has a BIG "ester" group which makes it quite inert to other chemicals. well not inert as "ether" but quite . the acid in the aspirin do not turn into salicylic acid after mixing with water only thats why its not hurting our skin of coz some of the acid changed into salicylic acid but only a very small amount thats why it works and yet not killing you. Here is an article that deny the effect of the aspirin mask. just think i should show you all it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

i didnt see any real results with the asprin mask, but yeah, i found it annoying to put on. it felt weird also.

i use it as a light scrub after mixing it with rosewater. Can definitely feel that my skin is smoother!

Okay for those who are still unsure how the aspirin mask works:

1- Go to the local pharmacy stores - Rite Aid, Target, Eckerd etc and grab a bottle of UNCOATED asprin, it normally costs about a dollar for 100+ tablets.

2- Take out 4 - 5 aspirin and place them onto a small bowl or plate, sprinkle a few drops of water onto the tablets. The uncoated aspirin is very easy to dissolve and please do not put too much water on them or they'll become way too mushy and it'll be useless to apply.

3- Pour 1/2 to 1 table spoon of honey onto the dissolved aspirin and mix them together.

4- Apply the mixture evenly onto your face but avoid the eye areas. Leave it on for 20 - 30 minutes.

5- Time to rinse them out. While you're at it, gently massage your face in a circular motion with the aspirin particles to further exfoliate your skin.

6- Pat dry your face. Apply toner with cotton ball, follow by a daily moisturizer. My personal favorite is Burt's Bee tomato toner and Olay 7x effect mineral moisturizer.

After you've done all the steps you should be able to see a glowing effect on your skin and the size of the pores will appeared much smaller.

Hope this help!

As effective as the aspirin mask is, it's still an acidic base and the great thing to use it as a facial mask is that the acid will helps to melt the very top layer of the dead skin. 10 - 12 aspirin is way too much and may cause your skin to peel instead. So be careful.

thanks for posting this! I'm gonna try it tonight!

 

[mehrunissa]

I'm going grocery shopping tomorrow, and I guess aspirin and honey is going on the list!

I Know this didnt work for some people but it really worked for me.

 

[mehrunissa]

Tried it tonight and my skin is so soft and bright now! I'm a little broken out, but that's more likely due to the climate change (I moved from dry desert to humid coastline...) that's been wreaking havoc on my skin. But still, I can tell the mask helped bring some of the gunk up to the surface since some of my zits look more "mature" now that they did before the mask.

Dooood, this is so exciting!

i once asked my dermatologist about the aspirin mask before trying to use it..she told me that it's 100% safe and it's very effective in healing acne scars. :7b:

I've been using the mask on my self and on others and the results are really amazing. I stopped using it because I felt like it was making me pale and taking my tan away. Is this possibly or psychological?

 

[~*PrInCeSs*~]

can u do the aspirin mask everyday??

 

[fishchick72]

I've done it the last two nights...........my bumps (I get cystic acne) are definitely smaller. But I have one forming at my left nostril, so I put some aspirin there & it was making me sneeze like crazy, LOL!!

 

[SupaFly10579]

I used it everyday without a problem.

 

[sweetstax3]

yes it is possible. the aspirin mask is use to instantly remove the dead skin stead of awaiting for the skin itself to peel off, which normally takes about 4-6 weeks. if you use self-tanner or bronzer then the some of the pigments would be coming off along w/ the dead skin.

@ fishchick72

LOL! happened to me once. :add_wegbrech:

@~*PrInCeSs*~

i don't suggest using this mask too often because it contains acidic properties. use it no more than 3x a week. one of my friends had used it every night and within 2 weeks her skin started to peel and looked very flaky. :scared:
