Benefits of Aspirin Mask?

[makeupchicky]

Hi girls....so I saw a thread here earlier about how to make the aspirin mask but I like to know what kinda benefits you got from using the mask and how often do you use it. I read on other sites that it helps with acne and makes your skin nice and smooth...so people also use it as a spot treatment for pimples. Did you guys have similar experiences. I think i'm gonna try it out tonight (hope it turns out well)!

u should. just take 3 aspirin (uncoated) and dissolve it w/3 drops of warm water ( 1 drop on each aspirin) wait a bit and pat it on your skin. It doesn't hurt to try and after the first time u will notice your skin is a lot smoother.

Thanks for the link Kim! I've never used it, but I need to try it... Just gotta get some aspirin first LOL!

do u have u leave the mask on ur skin for a bit or not??

I wanna try it too! So the aspirins can't be coated? All of the aspirin I ever see are coated!

Get like the cheapest uncoated aspirin ( I use CVS uncoated). Yes they must be uncoated or they wont dissolve in water. You need the teeeniest amount of water. It leaves my faces smooth and tones down the redness of my pimples. I only do it once it a while but I really recommend it. Only prob is it can be kinda messy and the aspirin dries quiickly and crumbles on your clothes

So, i just gave it a try...i went to Longs and got the generic aspirin for $2 for 100 tablets! Definitely get the uncoated ones because they dissolve much easier. I took 5 tablets and placed them in a small dish, dropped 3 drops of water and wait a couple of minutes. they end up dissolving nicely and i just use it as a paste...I actually scrubbed my skin slightly first and just left the paste on as a mask. I left it on for 15 minutes and then washed it off...kinda scrubbing again. My skin does look softer and more polished...also less dry. I guess i need to wait til tomorrow morning to see if it's helped some of my blemishes...i'll keep you guys updated

I use this mask about once a week and I swear by it. It REALLY helps with acne and seems to make the pores look way better. It just makes the overall skin tone better.

 

[makeupchicky]

I completely agree...I swear I've been looking at myself in the mirror every 5 minutes...LOL...my skin tone does look more even...and it polished away my dry patches!!!

Try this for extra benefits and less flaking -

Aspirin (4-5) dissolved in plain yogurt (abt 1 tsp.)

1/2 teasp. of white sugar

3 drops of honey

Rinse with cool water after mask dries (no need to scrub)

P.S. if you can't find uncoated, look for micro-coated. They dissolve nearly as easily.

 

[Angie2006]

so what is it about the aspirin that does all this good stuff????

 

[AngelaGM]

I will have to try that.

 

[katrosier]

Just a reminder . DON'T do this mask if you are allergic or if anyone in your immediat family is allergic to aspirin.

 

[Kimmers86]

I am going to have to try this. I don't think I have uncoated aspirin, but it looks like I'll be getting some. Good info!

 

[prettypretty]

I am going to try this...soon

 

[beautynista]

I think I might be the only one who hasn't noticed any visible difference after using this mask, I've been using it for 3 weeks now

 

[miss_belle]

i've always wanted to try this....again need to get some aspirin!
