The honey and aspirin face mask is one of the most popular homemade skin treatments. Many people use it as a gentle peeling to help dull or problematic skin look smoother and fresher.
Prior to applying this natural peeling mask, it is best to test it on the inner side of your upper arm. In case there is no reaction within 12 hours, you can use the mask on your face. Do not use it if you are allergic to aspirin or other salicylates, and ask your doctor first if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Here’s What You’ll Need
- One teaspoon of raw honey
- Two tablets of aspirin
- A small amount of water.
Instructions
- Take the aspirin and crush it. Place the powdered aspirin into a clean glass bowl. After that, just add 3-4 drops of water and stir the mixture. Next, add one teaspoon of raw honey and stir again.
- Put the mask on your face after you have thoroughly cleaned it and leave it on for about ten minutes. After that, rub it in gently and rinse with lukewarm water. When you start with the treatment, use the mask two or three times per week. After a month, use it once every seven days.
Some people report that they notice the first results after about ten days of regular use. The skin may look smoother and fresher, and the pores may appear cleaner. Results vary from person to person.
The effects of this aspirin-based mask can’t be seen right away. Give your skin a few hours to calm down after the peeling, and stop using the mask if you notice redness or irritation.
Of course, be patient and use this mask on a regular basis if you want smooth and shiny skin.
