Aspirin Mask

[mle44]

i crush 6 aspirin, mis w/1 drop of H20, add a squeeze of both honey & cetaphil cleanser..add to face, let sit for 20 mins, & rinse off! it's great...

I'm still doing it every night. I'm using 8 aspirins & a drop of water. I hate that it's so flakey, gets everywhere, but I do think it's helping to shrink down my cystic acne.

Maybe if you dilute it with a bit more water, so it's more of a paste. I use enough water so it's the consistency of a really grainy cream. Makes it easier to apply.

But wow, EIGHT aspirins! I use four, and my face feels all tingly and itchy after 10 minutes of that. You're using some potent stuff!

 

[fishchick72]

If I put any more water in it it'll be too runny & run off my face...........

I find I need 8 to cover my entire face.

I agree. I don't think it makes the mixture any stronger, it just makes the mix go further to cover your entire face. I used to use 5, but it started not covering my entire face and I have had to up the number.

same here. i can't have it on for longer than 20 mins...15 mins is the max or else my skin feels very itchy and irritated. :frown:

This sounds so cool! I've never heard of this and I cannot wait to try it!!!! :icon_chee

I use 5 with some honey and a drop of water, its great, i leave it on for about 20mins and then scrub my face with it. Although i feel a bit raw afterwards my skin stays smooth and clear for days. I only do it twice a week.

has anyone used this over a long period of time? are there any side effects? as its too good to be true and im surprised the makeup brands haven't picked up on it.

 

[fishchick72]

Well I bought a different brand of aspirin now & it works much better, it's makes a pastier consistency than the first one I had & it's not as flakey, it does still flake (& make me sneeze) as it dries, but not as much as the last brand I had.

I need to try this.

 

[Sony]

im gonna give it a try ladies, i get itchy spots so this may help

 

[Kemper]

Aspirin contains a synthetic version of salicylic acid, and therefore, I couldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. My skin's sensitivity absolutely forbids it.

 

[lindas]
