Facial scrubs and masks are ridiculously expensive these days, and you barely get any for the price that you pay. Instead of throwing away money on them, make your own!

The aspirin mask both exfoliates your skin and heals blemishes and scars. Ive had a few acne scars on my cheeks that havent healed from any of the expensive masks, and this took care of them within a few days!

First, youll need a container of aspirin. Make sure its uncoated aspirin (it will be matte finished and white colored), because coated aspirin doesnt work for this. Youll also need some way to grind the aspirin up. I use a small kitchen grinder for this, but you can use a blender too.

Dump the uncoated aspirin into the grinder, cap it off, and let it grind down to a fine powder. You dont want any big chunks here, because theyll just fall off. Keep grinding until its uniformly thin. Itll need to be fine, because youll be adding water to it to create a paste.

After its ground to a powder, I put the aspirin right back into its container and set it next to the sink. When you need to use it, pour a little into your hand. Add a bit of water and rub your hands together to moisten the aspirin.

Gently apply the damp powdered aspirin to your face, rubbing softly. You dont want to dig the aspirin into your face, you just want an even coating of it. I apply enough around my entire face so that you cant see much skin underneath it. If you apply too much, youll just be wasting it and making a fine dust of aspirin as it dries, but too little wont really do anything.

Let it sit on your face for about ten minutes. Itll start to feel really dry and flaky after a while. Once thats done, simply rinse it off your face, and youre done! Youll immediately notice that your skin feels cleaner and less oily. I have very oily skin, and this mask completely removes the surface oil from my face.

If you feel that you need the extra edge, Ive mixed a small dab of honey and a splash of extra virgin olive oil to the whole thing to moisturize the skin while its being exfoliated and cleansed, but I find that it adds too much expense to what is supposed to be a very cheap facial mask.

I apply facial moisturizer after the mask to make sure that my skin doesnt dry out too much. I dont need to apply any other sort of facial creams or anything because the mask takes care of everything for me.

Your face feels refreshed and clean, and your wallet isnt completely empty for it. I use the aspirin mask every other day, and I dont have any problems with acne at all! Just remember to keep the powdered aspirin capped off, since it gets chunky from absorbing moisture if you leave it open for too long.br
