I've heard of the aspirin mask before and have been a bit sceptical about it but after reading some of your replies here I really wanna try it! I saw kiss_me's before and after picture and my skin is like hers on the before picture, except I have spots on my forehead and a few pimples on my nose and chin.

Aspirin is super cheap over in the US but does anyone know where I could get good value aspirin here in the UK? I know it won't be as cheap as in the US, but I'm willing to spend that little bit more and I'd doubt it'll be more costly than all the other product I've tried before. So yeah, any recommendations??

I really want to do the asprin mask, after hearing so many good feedback from it. but then i'm kind of scared because of hearing some of the bad things. like htis:

"Desperate teens may be putting themselves in danger to get rid of acne with a remedy now being passed around the internet.

Parents need to warned that the aspirin mask is a homemade concoction that could be of serious concern for young acne sufferers because under certain circumstances this self treatment can result in coma and death.

Since, the aspirin mask is a home remedy, it has not been thoroughly researched and approved, so unless the treatment is monitored closely by a physician, any benefit this treatment offers may not be worth the risk for several reasons:

Reye's Syndrome

Using aspirin treat viral infections such as flu, or the chicken pox under the age of 20, can cause a condition called, Reye's syndrome that could result in brain damage, coma, and death.

However, since parental education about the syndrome in the ‘80s there has been a sharp decline in the number of reported cases of Reye's...but the introduction of the flu, chicken pox, and meningitis vaccines has caused many parents to be less concerned about the incidence of Reye's.

However...don't be fooled by a false sense of security.

The problem is...not all viruses are eradicated by vaccines, so there is a chance that a teen may continue use of the aspirin mask until it's determined that their cold is actually a flu which will eventually be accompanied by fever, chills, and misery.

Better safe than brain dead is my motto."



I don't think anybody has been affected by the asprin mask yet, so I'm still tempted to try it!

[Kyunjae]

I'm so printing this out~

As for that warning thing, it does worry me a little... but I'll still give this a try.

[bonjourjoan]

i do use this regimen too...i use it every other 2 weeks...just like payday ^0^
it really makes ur skin smooth instantly and sure does make the pimples go away
but recently i noticed that after using it the day after i would have puffy eyes... i'm not sure if
i developed some allergic reaction to it, bcoz some people are allergic to aspirin; or whether i'm not careful enough that
i accidently put some aspirin paste around my eye (w/c is not suppose to be don)...so just be careful

and yeah, i learned it from MICHELLE, i watched her video...

[rinnapayod]

recently i'm using many natural facial such as banana with honey facial and oatmeal....
i should try this one to see if it works on my skin....thanks a lot!

[COOKIE.BANDIT.]

I've noticed quite a difference after using the aspirin mask regularly. I know it's not good to use it so often, but i find that the results are showing...so I'm just gonna continue.

It made my skin a lot smoother, prevented breaking out into acne and my mom said that there were less white bumps :S so I suppose its getting rid of the bumps making the skin smoother? but still need to work on the scars...

[only_me]

I tried this today, and omg, after my face was super smooth. XD
im going to keep continuing this.

[Yienny]

I love her tutorials ! She's so amazing.

I think I might consider using this. I've read this in forums, websites etc. And it seems like this is a pretty effective treatment.
But what bothers me is that it dries up skin
My skin is already dried up as it is- but sometimes its also oily. Myao.
So if ever Ill use this- what's the cheapest and most effective moisturizer out there?

Or preferably, Id like to moisturize the natural way. lol. My skin is kinda sensitive ^___^;;

even though u have oily skin, moisture is still important...before I thought it wasn't
I have a mixed type of skin...Oily at the T-Zone...
I use Olay as my moisturizer...but right now I'm trying Bio Oil

natural: drink lots-a lots-a of WATER^-^

[postscript_love]

Unfortunately, I can't try this mask because I'm allergic to aspirin >.<

[ars]

i have sensitive skin so i only tried on t-zone.....it made my t-zone a little bit smoother...will try again a few days later^__^

[kimanycricket]

I've tried it for about a month and got lazy.


FOR ALL OF YOU GETTING A SERIES OF WHITEHEADS AFTER A COUPLE 4DAYS,
I think its the kind of sugar in the honey you are using (like you know chocolate sugar stuff makes your hormones and skin increase [read in a teenvogue article])
you should actually go buy the real deal honey stuff like burts bee at sephora
yes it did happen to me too when i just random a random honey bottle from the shelf (used for cooking/eating DUH!stupid me , of course theres sugar in it to make food taste better -__-")



FOR ALL THE SENSITIVE SKIN WHO ARE GETTING PUFFY SKIN, OR RED BLEMISHES,

1)you're scrubbing too much in vain to get of all the blackhead and pimples,
just leave it on (JUST WARM SHOWER and let the heat open ur pores to let it sink in easily, try not to get your face wet)

2)Try aloe gel mix in it to relieve the skin to reduce puffiness

3)You definitely leave the mask on too long, like I saw earlier, the chemical substance can "eat" the layer of your skin off if you leave in on for too long
[everyone probably thinks their skin is soft because the aspirin chemicals just ate off the dead/dry skin layer, so the new layer is fresh and soft]
DIDN'T RICEBUNNY say leave it on for 15 min?


FOR THE ONES WHO SAY IT DOESN'T DO MUCH ANYMORE

1) You have been using this product too much, your skin is getting used to it, therefore the chemicals doesnt effect you anymore,
Just like Proactive and any other product, most skins tend to get used to it and become somewhat immune if the chemicals aren't strong enough. E.G if you stop using Proactive your skin will explode with pimples again because the skin was used to the benyzol peroxide. FOR THIS ASPIRIN MASK, i mean c'mon its cheap aspirins so it isn't as strong as the expensive proactive, so too much use of it, you're skin will become immune
>>just stop using it for awhile and perhaps sacrifice a couple days of acne, and then continue using it again but only like maybe only 2-3 times a week NON-CONSECUTIVELY

2) youre probably putting too much water and the crushed aspirin isn't even sticking on your face


I really think this DIY product works, but results vary for different types of skin and different methods of using and making it.
Just experiment a little on the wrist (don't be lazy now!) see what works with you

I'm going back to using it.
good luck to all of us in search for better skin

i'm tempted to try this but im scared that the acne on my face wud just get worse. recently i've resorted to using this cream called "oronine H ointment" which is supposedly from japan...thats what it says on the carton its workin pretty well so i'll just stick to that for gettin rid of spots

[cookiemoster]

on the video tutorial, there was an electric toothbrush or whatever used to exfoliate
would that work better? or just leave it on for 10 min. and wash off?

[B4bi3xxAng3L]

OOOH~ Interesting! (: I never knew this.
but thanks for sharing<33
I'm attempting to try it now, lol<3

[iAD0RKABLESi]

I tried this and left it on my face for 10 minutes.
Scrubbed it off gently, and it just left my face red for about an hour.

[vc1188]

I tried this for the first time last night and I couldn't stop touching my face afterwards-- my skin was THAT SOFT AND SMOOTH <3

If you guys start getting lots of whiteheads and whatnot following the use of this, it means it's working. Your skin's trying to push out all of the crap beneath it

However, I was on MUA reading reviews, and one person said that using this too often is really bad because the aspirin enters your bloodstream (even through topical use on skin). Can anyone confirm this? I didn't find much info on this aspect of it

[Dreamss]

i have a few questions.
is this mask like..one day use,a nd your acne/skin goes smooth, and acneless?
or does it take a while ?
and also, i know it helps your pores, pimples and all these areas.but can it keep oil off your skin??

and tis tutorial is amazing. i think i might try it too !

[ShiaChewy]

Wow. o__o; Flawless skin.
I really want to try it.
I'm no where near the age of 20 though. =/
Should I try it with maybe those child-safe aspirin?
I was really excited, until I got to the Reye's Syndrome part. o_o
