So it gets rid of your scars too O_O ? I'm really afraid to use this, because I'm already allergic to the Neutrogena Healthy Skin lotion (for sensitive skin too!) xD But it seems like it really works. Would honey & aspirin just do ._. ?

[rinnie_chan]

[s]Ooooohhh, I wanna try this mask so badly, it's just I have no aspirin at home T__T
And one of package Aspririn with ca. 20 pills costs like 20$ -.-

Does anybody know where I can get this huge box apsirin?






uh, never mind...just read the post ;_____;
I think I shouldt do this.

Hi, i was wondering if it would be okay to use the pill form of aspirin instead of the tablets?
x_x , i can't find any tablets in my house.

[peachiez89]

whoah dang. this is a weird method, but i wanna try this method now. sounds really gooOOOD!

[xxiiyabbyxx]

i tried it today..

made my skin soft but errr.. i don't like the smell of honey..

[ilOvefairytales]

OMGGGGGGG thats like pretty smooth skin

[geekim]

At first, I was quite skeptical about this. Applying Aspirin on your skin, the thinnest layer on your body, sound a bite scary. But I really wanted to try it out for my not-so perfect skin -- and that fact that I used to work a Pharmacy gave me a reason to do my fare share of research.

What I think is that, it has immediate effect on the skin after applying it -- making it oh so soft and glowing.(What we all want of course) But that's only short term. I don't think continuous applications of aspirin on your face is safe for the long-term, which we all tend to forget about. Anyways, I'm glad I also read this this member's post :http://www.soompi.com/forums/index.php?s=&...t&p=6843064

So do your research before applying any "miracle/instant" mask on your skin without knowing it's long term and effects.

Sorry, but not everything in that post is true. I've even been told by both a dermatologist and pharmacist, that an aspirin mask periodically is SAFE.

"That very dry feeling that your skin has to it after one of these masks... it's caused by corrosion. That's right, your face is being chemically rotted and oxidized."

Your face is NOT being chemically rotted! Aspirin is a type of beta hydroxy acid (BHA). A property of BHAs is that it's LIPID soluble. So it can go into your pore clogged with oil/sebum. When do you an aspirin mask, you are unclogging your pores of this oil. With frequent use, you are continually stripping your face of natural oils as well. Because you are stripping so much oil constantly, your skin tries to over compensate and thus your skin DRIES out. This is why it is recommend not use the mask so frequently, like everyday.

"The soreness of the skin associated with clogged pores goes away because the aspirin you are applying an analgesic (pain killer) and the unknown amounts of salicylic and acetic acids that dissolved help dry the skin and kill the bacteria in your pores."

Aspirin is a type of pain killer, but it's NOT a topical pain killer. If I have a bump on my head and rub aspirin on it, it will not dissolve into my skin to make it feel better. If you want to KILL bacteria in your pores, you something that has benzoyl perioxide.

"When you are applying aspirin to your skin, you are administering doses to yourself. It is not fully understood how much of the chemicals are taken up by the skin."

You are NOT administering doses to yourself. You will NOT die from aspirin overdose from a mask! If you think aspirin absorbs into the skin in that manner, then what about makeup and skincare? There are tons of different types of chemicals in skincare and makeup, which would be considered toxic if ingested. For example, you wash your hands with liquid soap daily, which is made of chemicals. If you were to drink liquid soap, it would be toxic. But by washing your hands daily with soap, the chemicals in the soap are absoring into your skin. So it's like drinking liquid soap slowly and would eventually become toxic and you would die. Yeah, that's very unlikely. That's not how the body works. Another example is if you soak yourself in milk everyday, you would NOT be getting physical doses of vitamin D.

i really want to try this so i can have nice, clear skin for prom. but i live in toronto and we don't have walgreens or target. can you get this in wal-mart??

anyone in toronto who knows where to get this brand of asprin?

[mintcracker]

panadol = aspirin.
at first i was wondering how do i get aspirin cause we do not have it here.
but ltr i realise its the same. just that they are named differently in different countries.

uh no....
panadol is paracetamol
aspirin contains salicylate, both are COMPLETELY different

and uh...I'm sure you have aspirin, do you live in australia or nz? They sell them in the pharmacy.

[LaydeeMel]

I've been doing the asprin mask every other day and so far I haven't seen any results. I have an oily complexion so it doesn't dry out my face. Nothing has happened to me so far so who knows. :s I'll try it for a little longer and then if it doesn't work still imma stop.

[German1004]

Hey guys,

I would recommend to use the effervescent tablet (fizzy tablet)! It is quite big, so you only need one tablet and it also contains Vitamin C! It doesn't dry out your skin and you don't have to care about side effects...

did you use moisturizer afterwards? you really should if your face gets dry. I use Cetaphil moisturizing lotion

I just rinsed off the mask right now and my skin indeed feels soft! I felt a slight tingling in my skin while wearing it but certainly no irritation. I think I'll use it every day for a week or two and then every 2-3 days after that.

[daveeran]

ive been hearing about lots of ppl trying this. will this dry out my skin alot... i already have a problem with dry skin...

[kleenex]

Gosh, thank you so much for posting this upp!
Now i'm gonna go try it as well : )

[yuiyean]

Your not suppose to use it everyday. Use the mask once a week or as those who thinks better, once a month as it dries up your skin. Do not put them on longer than 30 mins. You'll get a bad headache later if you do. I tried it but does not work well with me during my first try. Lease down the stress and relax. That'll help your brain too.

[jeanius88]

wow thanks for sharing this. im def gonna try it!!!

[MakiFroggeh]

I wondered if it works with paracetamol ?

[brushoffate]

My face has been spazzing out lately so I tried this mask with a cheapo aspirin bottle i got at walmart for like $0.94. I have to tell you--it's awesome. I've been using it for a little over 2 weeks now, and I can definitely see the difference. My face isn't quite clear yet because "aunt flo" came and my face is like 5x more outta control, but I will post a pic when my skin clears up again. I used it everyday for a week straight cuz my face was really bumpy and red-and the mask totally helped clear that up.

About the drying--I didnt experience that much, but I did put in like 3 vit E capsules (the gel ones that u can cut open and squeeze the vitamin out) sometimes and it made my skin really soft the day after.
