Quick Post: Update on Aspirin Mask

This is a quick post for an update on my Aspirin Mask. As Kasia, Dee and Manju suggested, i tried to mix the Aspirin with plain yogurt. you can read more alternative which Dee have posted here. At my first attempt of doing it, i added to much yogurt. i almost wanted to eat it for not wasting it. LOL, of course i didn't :D. i said i didn't like the smell of the Aspirin at all, but by adding yogurt, it totally changes my mind. i like yogurt so much and i like the smell so much too. Here's how it looks like after mixing the Aspirin with yogurt, it's my second attempt. i used 3 tablets of Aspirin and it's more than enough for the whole face.

it didn't flake off at all, and stay perfectly still on my face. it dried up pretty quick too, for just a few minutes i think. and after rinsing, my face feels so much softer. i can say i'm addicted to it now. Thanks to Kasia, Dee and Manju for the tips! :)

Tomorrow is already Christmas Eve. I can't believe how time flies so quickly... anyways, Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to everyone! :)

Aspirin Mask

I've been breaking out real bad since last month. I've finished my favorite The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil and it's out of stock everywhere at here. i was so desperate. I've tried so many ways from not using any product to trying a lot of acne products, nothing works. and finally last week i remembered that I've read from a local beauty forum that Aspirin works wonder on acne. i quickly browsed the forum again and decided to try it. from the forum i also saw that Michelle Phan has a more detailed review and tutorial for Aspirin mask (check it here).

i only used 2 tablets of Aspirin as i want to concentrate more on my acne area. and i didn't add honey cause i heard that adding honey is more for dry skin and the Aspirin is kinda drying. i think my skin is oily enough for it.

add a few drops of water

and wait till it dissolves

the texture of this Aspirin mask reminds me of Skin Food Rice Mask but rougher. i apply it on my clean face and leave it for 10-20 minutes. it dries quickly and can be a bit messy cause it will drop (or fall?) when it dries.

I've used it for three times now (two or three times a week), and i can say it really works wonder! my acne is a lot lesser after using this in just few days. I'll keep using it to see a better result. i bought the Aspirin tablets from a local drugstore, and it's really cheap! how great it is!

*edit*
i forgot to mention that the only thing that i don't like from this Aspirin mask is the smell. it has a strong drug (i think?) scent, but i still can endure it during the masking. (Thanks to *~kAy~* for reminding me :) )

note that even though it works for me, it doesn't mean that it works for everyone. try it at your own risk. and if your skin is sensitive, you probably should consult to your dermatologist before trying this.

Thanks for reading! Hope everyone had a great weekend and have a great week ahead :)
