Best Acne Cure: Aspririn Mask

Acne Defined

Acne vulgaris is an inflammatory disease of the skin, caused by changes in the pilosebaceous units (skin structures consisting of a hair follicle and its associated sebaceous gland). Acne lesions are commonly referred to as pimples, spots, plukes or zits.

The condition is most common in puberty. It is considered an abnormal response to normal levels of the male hormone testosterone. The response for most people diminishes over time and acne thus tends to disappear, or at least decrease, after one reaches his or her early twenties. There is, however, no way to predict how long it will take for it to disappear entirely, and some individuals will continue to suffer from acne decades later, into their thirties and forties and even beyond. Acne affects a large percentage of humans at some stage in life. That is why is has long been studied to find a cure for this skin condition.

My Experience with Aspirin as a facial mask.

While searching the internet, I've come across this site about the use of Aspirin as a cure for acne. At first, I was hesitant to use but then I gave it a try. And guess what? It works! It really does. After just a week of using, most of my acne has disappeared and my skin became clearer.

Preparation:

1. Use 2 to 5 tablets of Aspirin (you can use the cheap ones: Aspilet or Bayer. You can buy it at 1.85 pesos at Mercury or Rose Pharmacy).

2. Put it in a cup, a small bowl or better yet a saucer. Then drop a small amount of water to soak the tablets. You don't have to crush it because the water will dissolve the aspirin.

3. Put it in the face concentrating on the areas that has acne. The forehead, cheeks, nose and chin.

4. Leave it on for 20 to 30 minutes. Then rinse thoroughly with cold water.

5. Apply a moisturizer.

Tips: You can also use yogurt, glycerin, oatmeal and honey and mix it with the aspirin.
