• They're great for all skin types, so you can take advantage of them to unclog your pores without worrying about any adverse reactions. Aspirin is anti-inflammatory and so it helps with conditions like rosacea and eczema. It also soothes red, itchy skin. These masks exfoliate your skin, renewing it and making you look younger. 

• They are great if you have dark circles or bags under your eyes. Aspirin has lightening properties, so it can help if you have any skin issues related to pigmentation. Aspirin can counteract the effects of aging and free radical damage, minimizing wrinkles and fine lines.

Tips before you use masks with aspirin

• Use uncoated aspirin in your mask. Although the coating is minimal, it's better to avoid applying any unnecessary chemicals to your skin. Never use masks made with aspirin if you're allergic to this medication. If you aren't careful, you'll have the same allergic reaction you would if you ingested it. 

• Always do an allergy test first. Before using any of these masks, apply a little to your arm and leave it on for five minutes before rinsing. If your skin looks normal the next day, no irritation, you can proceed with the mask.

Basic recipe

• Let's start with the easiest one. It's ideal for keeping your skin healthy and beautiful if you have no visible skin issues. This is the base for most of the recipes below.

• 10 aspirin tablets, uncoated5 tablespoons of water (75 ml)

Preparation

• Add the aspirin to the water and let it sit. Wash your face with water with a neutral, dry soap. Crush the aspirin until a paste forms. Apply to clean skin and leave it on for 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water and dry gently.

• Apply the mask once a week. Soon you'll notice softer, smoother skin — and with very little effort.

Face mask with aspirin for oily skin

• This second aspirin mask is designed for oily, acne-prone skin. One note: it uses tea tree oil and it's important that it be high quality. The oils in this recipe will give your skin a small dose of healthy fats to keep your skin from getting too dry. These two oils are excellent at healing and restoring the health of your skin.

• In just a few days, you'll feel like you have a new face. Olive oil also softens the skin and keeps the tea tree oil from causing irritation. That's important because tea tree oil on its own can be very aggressive for certain skin types.

Ingredients

• 2 drops of tea tree oil2 drops of extra virgin olive oil8 aspirin tablets4 tablespoons of water (60 ml)

Preparation

• Make a paste like in the first recipe and add the tea tree oil. Apply it to clean skin and let it sit for 15 minutes.Rinse and repeat three times a week.

Aspirin mask for sun damage

• Starting with the basic recipe at the beginning, here we'll just add a little lemon juice and olive oil to clear up any trace of sun damage. Remember that while it's a good idea to get a little bit of sun every day, excessive sun exposure can be very harmful.

• First of all, it speeds up the appearance of wrinkles and redness. Eventually you'll notice sun spots, and it could end up in skin cancer. Of course, this doesn't always happen, but it's best to stay safe and use a good quality sunscreen. You can also try the following face mask with aspirin. You'll start to notice the results in a few weeks.

Ingredients
