Aspirin Mask

Have any of you tried the aspirin mask? Aspirin is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA), a salicylic acid, just like in most acne clearing products out there. Its incredibly deep cleaning. There are also so many recipes for it, but here is the one I use: 01. Two or more crushed inexpensive aspirin tablets 02. Few drops of water or honey, not too much... you dont want it real watery at all. - put it all over your face, it should be of grainy texture.. & honey helps a lot. -wait~15 or so minutes or until it starts kind of flaking off. - wash it off. the little bits of the tablet act as exfoliators. & that's it! People tweak it for their skin type. ie: yogurt, aloe vera, etc. It can help with oiliness, breakouts, blemishes, etc... and my leaves skin very smooth. Though its not recommended more than~three times a week... its a bit drying, so you should moisturize after... Not for everyone, since some people are allergic to aspirin.
