I know I might be a little obsessed with facial scrubs and masks but they are so helpful on top of using a regular cleanser, toner and moistuizer. Now that the winter season is here, using it more often helps take away all that dead skin and helps you glow some more!! On top of that, I use an aspirin facial scrub inspired by a friend. Aspirin has been studied to help you prevent skin cancer. check it out here (http://www.dentalplans.com/articles/3310/) With that being said, here are the steps to make your very own! 3 tablets of non-coated aspirin 1 tablespoon of pure honey Directions: 1.Sprinkle some water on the aspirin, not too much! Only enough to break it down, too much and it'll dissolve and be mushy! :( 2. Add in the tablespoon of honey 3. Mix it around with your finger. It should like a facial scrub, with bits of aspirin in it. 4. Apply over skin and leave it for 10 minutes. 5. After this, I use a very cheap electric toothbrush (with a rotating head) to exfoliate my skin! You can opt for something more expensive but it you cant' go wrong with a $7 toothbrush! If the toothbrush head is too hard, use a pumice square to soften it out. (i do not use the electric toothbrush in my mouth...thats kind of disgusting! I use it purely for my face!) 6. Afterwards, just moisturize using whatever moisturizer works best for your skin! I use this on my skin about twice a week. Don't go over more than 3 times a week, your skin can't handle so much abrasion! Voila! Inexpensive and all natural! If you guys try it out, I'd love to hear your response for it!
LOL another facial mask threadd.. nicee australias in summer tho :( maybe try this one when its winter?
not a bad concept... aspirin is actually acetylsalicylic acid and salicylic acid is often used in acne medication to clean pores and such. It can be quite abrasive in high quantities though, and repeated use could cause your skin to peel... i would say only use a facial mask like this once or twice a week, as it doesn't really replenish your skin, it just cleans it like a mofo. hahaha and probably also a really good idea not to get any in your eyes
i've tried this mask before. The aspirin mask is just like a exfoliate and it works quite well xD leaves you with smooth skin ! hahaha however it didn't really work for acne. (not for mine anyway!) wow O__O just realised this thread is quite old
Wow , this is the first time i heard of using aspirin as face mask. I will try this and see if it works. Thanks.
I used this mask, it's really good, makes my skin look clearer. Just don't do it daily, but use it every other day. ex. Monday - mask, tuesday - rest, wed - mask, thursday -rest, friday-mask ..etc.
try mixing egg, honey and oats(make sure its been blended really finely) its a really good natural ingredients plus its cheap. it can help whitening and smoothing
