I just used it... i dissolved aspirin in warm milk, here are my questions.
I used a lot of aspirin, like 10-15? But i think i started with too much milk.
Anyhow, is the consistency supposed to be so grainy?
I added some Decleor Rose Dorient to it becuase the smell was making me want to barf... is this the reason the mask did not stick to my face all smoothly, but sort of fell off in pieces?
My face is a bit itchy now, why?
I have some groun up almonds, can i do almonds, aspirin and milk with some rose D'orient?
Can I make a batch and keep it for a while in the fridge?
Thanks |

| I usually use 6 aspirins with 1.5 tbsp of water... and it is enough for my face. I usually add honey instead of milk, try it it is very moisturizing... |

It seems to me, anything that chemically exfoliates or softens your skin can potentially make your skin sensitive and itchy.
Some people use the mask everyday but only if it's a little bit of aspirin. I think itching is common especially if not diluted enough. Hope that helps  |

We stumbled upon an ongoing blog discussion of Aspirin facials and we are dying to know, “Have you tried this home remedy? Did you experience any mini miracles?”
Evidently Aspirin is a beta-hydroxy acid or BHA, a very effective type of salicylic acid known to be an amazing pore cleanser, said to get the kind of deep down clean that keeps your skin blemish free. It's rumored to be an amazing exfoliator that brightens the skin and leaves it smooth and amazingly soft. We also heard that it also heals existing blemishes quickly and keeps the blemish from coming back. Word. You know we like the sounds of that.
Turns out people are mashing up anywhere from 3-10 aspirin depending on oiliness or level of breakout, adding water or Cetaphil to create a paste and viola. We have also read that you can add yogurt as an exfoliating astringent, and/or honey and Aloe gel to make the mask more moisturizing. There seems to be countless ways to customize it.
Everyone’s skin is different and we are not estheticians, so of course, proceed with caution. If you are allergic to aspirin, or have sensitive skin, this might not be for you. However, bloggers all over the world are raving about it, so we’ve rounded up a few tried and true recipes. If you decide to whip up a batch and give it a go, please, come back an tell us all about it. |
Thanks, google!  |

Ack! I do not have particularly sensitive skin and I am not allergic to aspirin. But for some reason this gave me a rash within a couple minutes after I applied it. I immediately removed the asprin mask but my face was red for hours and I felt sick afterwards… too bad…. 
I strongly advise everyone to test a small spot before applying to make sure you don't get an allergic reaction like I did. Good luck! |

| Wow...this is amazing! I just mix about 4 tablets with 2 drops of water to make a paste and I use that as a scrub, not a mask. Voila! all my blackheads are gone. the dispersible aspirin becomes a finer scrub so I use that twice a week and the coarse aspirin once in 2 weeks. I tried mixing it with honey...and yuuurrrrccchhhhh it was gross. I mean, yes it stayed on better but the aspirin did nothing for my face and it didnt feel clean after that. Try it....without the honey! |

| Really makes the large inflamed cysts go down in size. Takes redness away. |

| This mask made me break out in the worst cystic acne I've ever had. Nothing will clear it up. I've spent the last three months trying to find some relief from the damage it has done to my skin. |

| This never fails to work for me. I don't break out often anymore but if I do, I go to this mask. It calms inflamed skin without making it worse. I don't add anything to the aspirin other than warm water. I sometimes leave it on a stubborn blemish overnight. It can usually shrink them considerably in just a few hours. |
Most people seem to love this mask, but if it itches further dilute the aspirin and use it only occasionally to avoid irritating sensitive skin. |

| I think adding water is better than milk as you never know what happen chemically when aspirin reacts with milk, so I tried water and it worked great ! Nothing uncomfortable! |

| I added honey to 3-4 pills, mostly because honey is stick enough to hold stuff together. |

| i've tried the aspirin mask & spot treatment and was unimpressed. recently i got some willow bark extract & made as mask with that... which really blew me away. it shrinks blemishes within a few hours and so far hasn't made my face peel off like OTC salicylic acid acne treatments typically do. |

| I use about 5-6 aspirin and a little bit of some kind of liquid and usually honey. A little bit goes a loong way. |
