update

still using it, almost every day, i do pile it on and leave it as a mask then gently scrub it off. Truly, i do love it. The monster black heads are still getting smaller and the little ones have not come back. But the flaking aspirin drives me crazy. I am going to try to find somewhere to get glycerin to mix with it to try to keep it on my face. Since i have a serious "if a little is good, more is better" complex i trying not

to mix anything with it that may cause irritation. So i am thinking the glycerin will add enough moisture and slip w/out any reaction. As soon as i find it i will update you all.

Oh and i just got Victoria Principals new infomercial line, but that is for wrinkles!

Aspirin mixed with honey is excellent! It stays on and the honey has some great qualities too!

I use this mask once a week.

I put 5 aspirin non coated in a little lemon juice (AHA & BHA)

I apply to my skin in a circular motion so that it also has an exfoliating effect then let it dry for about 10 minutes then I wet my fingers and again take it off using circular motion.

Usually about an hour after I apply my enzymen peel from Aloette and take off any dead and loose skin cells.

I find that this mask helps loosen these skin cells so that my complexion is glowing after it.

I only use this once a week becasue it is a pretty strong mask witht he acids AHA - Aspirin and BHA - lemon juice

I suppose the key ingredient of aspirin - salicylic acid - is the thing that acts on the outer surface of the skin? It is equivalent to putting BHA on your face?
