A great way to treat acne is popping up in several acne treatment blogs and acne treatment sites - using aspirin as a facial mask.
Why does it work? The reason treating acne with aspirin works is because aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid, which is salicylic acid (sodium salicylate) combined with acetyl chloride. Recall that
salicylic acid is effective in treating acne, so why not aspirin? The answer is, it is!
How to use aspirin to treat acne
In order to prepare the aspirin mask, you will need to get an aspirin tablet. The uncoated tablets work the best because they dissolve much faster than the coated tablets. With a teaspoon of water, crush the aspirin until it is dissolved into a gritty paste. With your paste ready, simply apply the aspirin to the acne affected areas. You can mix the crushed aspirin with honey or aloe vera (both great for the skin) to act as a binder so that the aspirin will not flake off of the skin when you apply it. Leave the aspirin on for five minutes, or longer depending on the severity of the acne.
What will the aspirin do?
The aspirin, when applied to acne or blemishes, helps to reduce swelling and redness. It also closes your pores so they are less susceptible to getting dirt and bacteria in them. It also helps remove dead skin that harbors acne causing bacteria. The effects are similar to those of salicylic acid, but with the added benefit of being an anti-inflammatory.
Other tips
To treat your acne, you can also use BC powder. BC powder is basically powdered aspirin mixed with caffeine. Caffeine, when applied to the skin, is known to remove toxins. The BC powder will dissolve much faster than the aspirin tablet - so it is a great product to use when making an aspirin mask to treat acne.
