Why did it take me 28 years to discover the Aspirin mask? Over the years, I’ve wasted hundreds of dollars on prescriptions that were way less effective. Probably my fault. Going to a dermatologist who has wicked acne is like relying on a homeless realtor.
Anyway, the mask is miraculous! Aspirin is salicylic acid, which is the main ingredient in many acne treatments. Plus, Aspirin is an anti-inflammatory that reduces the size of blemishes and the slightly gritty consistency serves as an exfoliant upon removal. Convinced? Let’s do this!
There are countless variations, but here’s what works for me:
3-5 Uncoated Aspirin Pills
A Drip or A Drop of Milk for each pill
A Drip of Lemon Juice
1. Put the pills in a little dish and drip a little milk and lemon juice on top.
2. When the pills are soft, mush everything into a paste.
3. Spread the concoction on your face (avoiding eyes) and let it dry.
4. When the mask dries, scrub it off with a little water like a typical exfoliant.
5. Admire your soft, smooth skin and spread the word!
Variations include replacing milk with yogurt, aloe, honey, or a basic moisturizer.
